It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s and features a compact design with dimensions of 30 mm x 51 mm x 8 mm. The adapter is ideal for upgrading or expanding storage solutions. Package dimensions are 125 mm x 225 mm x 10 mm.

## Long description

The StarTech MSAT2SAT3 adapter converts an mSATA host connection into a standard SATA port, allowing you to attach a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drive to an mSATA interface. The compact adapter offers a simple way to expand system storage by using an available mSATA slot to host a larger SATA hard drive; compatible operation has been tested with drives up to 4 TB. The adapter is compliant with SATA I/II/III revisions and supports transfer speeds up to 6 Gbit/s. The product is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support from StarTech.com.
Advantages
The adapter provides cross-compatibility between mSATA host ports and standard SATA drives without requiring additional power or drivers in most systems. Its compliance with SATA I/II/III ensures broad compatibility and up to 6 Gbit/s transfer rates. The small form factor (approximately 30 mm x 51 mm x 8 mm) and lightweight design make it easy to install into compact systems. The unit is internally focused and finished in green PCB colour.
Suitable for
Upgrading or expanding laptop and small-form-factor storage where only an mSATA slot is available
Converting an mSATA interface to host a larger 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drive or SSD
Testing or repurposing SATA drives in systems with mSATA-only connectors

How to use
Power down the host system and disconnect from mains power. Insert the MSAT2SAT3 adapter into the mSATA socket on the motherboard or host device, ensuring correct alignment of the mSATA connector. Secure the SATA drive to the adapter or mount the drive in the target device and connect the adapter so the SATA interface mates correctly. Reconnect power and boot the system; the connected SATA drive should be detected by the operating system according to its firmware and driver support. Follow standard OS procedures to partition, format or clone the drive as required.
Usage recommendations
Use this adapter in environments where the host provides an mSATA interface and where the system BIOS/UEFI supports SATA devices on that port. For best performance, use SATA III drives and connect to an mSATA slot wired for maximum bandwidth. Do not force the connector; ensure the adapter and drive are mounted securely to avoid mechanical or electrical damage.
