With hard drives and solid-state drives constantly changing, you might find it necessary to upgrade or convert your old drive to work with newer technology. Our wide range of converters makes it easy to:

Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5” SATA RAID Adapter Converter
Build a RAID array with two mSATA SSDs that can be installed into a single 2.5in SATA bay
Vastly increase system performance by adding a dual mSATA SSD RAID array into any 2.5" SATA HDD application with the 25SAT22MSAT mSATA to SATA adapter.
Utilize the full potential of your SATA III controller, with mSATA SSDs reducing your data transfer bottleneck with file transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps. mSATA SSDs also save you money by reducing your power consumption over regular platter drives.
You can achieve greater SSD capacity, or data redundancy with the Dual SSD controller supporting multiple RAID modes (RAID 0, 1, BIG). The SSD adapter also supports non-RAID operation (JBOD) when paired with a port-multiplying SATA controller, so both drives can be used independent of one another.
Help protect the health of your drive with an open-frame design ensuring maximum heat dissipation.
The 25SAT22MSAT is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty, and lifetime technical support.

USB to M.2 SATA Converter for Raspberry Pi and Development Boards
Connect an M.2 SATA drive to your development board, to increase data storage capacity
Increase the data storage capacity of your Raspberry Pi or other development board, by connecting it directly to an M.2 NGFF SATA SSD. Perfect for custom projects and applications, this USB to M.2 SATA converter supports all models of Raspberry Pi as well as other development boards.
Add storage capacity to your development board
This convenient USB 2.0 to M.2 SATA converter lets you overcome data storage limitations of your development board by enabling you to connect an M.2 SATA drive through your board’s USB-A port.
A convenient integrated solution
The USB to M.2 SATA converter integrates seamlessly with your existing development board. It’s the perfect addition for development-board based applications such as surveillance, media players and servers, digital signage and IoT/automation solutions. It enables you to utilize your M.2 SATA drives with your dev board, and take advantage of the small form factor of M.2 SATA which makes it ideal for applications with space limitations.
Easy to install
Compatible with M.2 SATA drives (2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280), the converter is easy to install and doesn’t require any device driver installation. It comes with a USB cable and all mounting accessories, including standoffs, so integrating it with your Raspberry Pi is fast and easy.
StarTech.com provides industry-leading support to get you up and running quickly. The PIB2M21 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Note:This converter works with M.2 SATA SSDs only. To see which type of M.2 drive you have, simply look at the number of notches (or keys) on the drive end that connects with the M.2 socket. SATA-based M.2 drives have two notches (an M key and a B key), while PCIe-based M.2 drives have just one notch (an M key).
