Product information

Description

The USB to M.2 SATA Converter StarTech PIB2M21 provides a compact external bridge between a Micro-USB host interface and an M.2 SATA drive. Designed for use with Raspberry Pi and other development boards, the converter supports up to 6 Gbit/s transfer rates using the Renesas µPD720231A chipset. Housed in a red enclosure (56 × 88 × 11 mm) and weighing 0.0218 kg, the unit is intended for internal integration in prototyping and embedded system applications and ships with a USB cable and required mounting accessories.

Advantages

The converter enables direct connection of M.2 NGFF SATA SSDs to development boards that expose a Micro-USB host interface, increasing storage capacity without complex hardware changes. Its compact red enclosure and internal design make it suitable for space-constrained projects. Certified to CE and FCC standards and based on the Renesas µPD720231A chipset, the device provides a consistent SATA interface at SATA III speeds (up to 6 Gbit/s) and includes the necessary cable and mounting hardware for quick installation.

Suitable for

Prototyping and embedded development with Raspberry Pi and similar single-board computers
Adding mass storage to media players, small servers and surveillance systems
IoT and automation projects requiring compact, high-capacity local storage
Data access and recovery tasks where an M.2 SATA SSD needs to be read from a development board

Key specifications

Host interface: Micro-USB
Output interface: M.2 (SATA)
Maximum transfer rate: up to 6 Gbit/s
Chipset: Renesas µPD720231A
Enclosure dimensions: 56 × 88 × 11 mm
Product colour: Red
Internal design; includes USB cable and mounting accessories
Certifications: CE, FCC
Weight: 0.0218 kg

How to use

Install an M.2 SATA SSD into the M.2 socket following the drive manufacturer’s instructions, secure the drive with the supplied standoffs, and connect the converter’s Micro-USB cable to the host device’s Micro-USB host port. Once connected, the development board should detect the M.2 SATA drive as external storage; no additional device drivers are typically required. Ensure the host board is powered and configured to access external USB mass storage devices before transferring data or using the drive for operating system or application storage.

Usage recommendations

Use only M.2 SATA (NGFF) SSDs with this converter; PCIe/NVMe M.2 drives are not compatible. Confirm the M.2 drive keying matches SATA-type drives (two notches: B and M) and avoid applying excessive force during installation. For reliable long-term operation in embedded systems, mount the converter securely inside the enclosure and ensure adequate power and thermal conditions on the host device.
