StarTech SAT32M225 2.5in SATA 6Gbps M.2 SSD Enclosure
Overview
The StarTech SAT32M225 allows you to repurpose an M.2 SATA NGFF SSD as a standard 7mm high 2.5-inch SATA drive. This open-frame enclosure is designed for integration into systems where a traditional 2.5-inch drive bay is available but you need to utilize the speed and form factor of an M.2 SSD. It's particularly useful for upgrading storage in surveillance DVRs, NVRs, or compact workstations that lack native M.2 slots but support 2.5-inch drives. The SAT32M225 facilitates a 6Gbps data transfer rate, ensuring your M.2 SSD performs at its maximum potential.
Compatibility
This enclosure supports M.2 SATA (B-Key and B+M Key) NGFF SSDs in common form factors: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. It converts these M.2 drives into a standard 7mm high 2.5-inch form factor, making it compatible with any system featuring a 2.5-inch drive bay, including many network video recorders (NVRs), digital video recorders (DVRs), and small form-factor PCs.
Installation Notes
The open-frame design simplifies installation. Mount your M.2 SATA SSD into the enclosure, then connect it to your system's SATA port and power connector. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F) allows for deployment in a wide variety of environments, from standard office settings to more demanding industrial or surveillance applications.
