How to use
Install an M.2 SATA SSD into the converter’s M.2 socket, secure it with the supplied standoff and screw, then connect the converter to your development board’s USB-A host port using the included USB cable (adapters may be required for boards with Micro‑USB or USB-C host connectors). No additional drivers are required for most operating systems; once connected, the board should detect the SATA drive as external storage. Confirm the drive type visually—SATA-based M.2 drives have two notches (B and M keys).
Usage recommendations
Use only M.2 SATA (B+M keyed) SSDs with this converter. PCIe/NVMe M.2 drives (single M key) are not compatible. For reliable operation, ensure the host board provides sufficient USB power or use an externally powered USB hub when needed.
