Description

StarTech SAT32MSAT257 mSATA to 2.5in SATA Adapter

Overview

The StarTech SAT32MSAT257 allows you to repurpose an mSATA SSD as a standard 7mm high 2.5-inch SATA drive. This open-bracket adapter is ideal for integrating mSATA storage into systems that only support 2.5-inch form factors, such as older servers, NVRs, or custom builds where space is at a premium but you need to leverage existing mSATA drives. It provides a direct SATA 6Gbps interface, ensuring your mSATA SSD performs at its maximum potential.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed to house and connect mSATA SSDs (52-pin connector) into a 2.5-inch SATA bay. It supports drives with a height of 7mm or larger. The host connection is a standard SATA data and power combo connector, making it compatible with virtually any system that accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives, including many network video recorders (NVRs) and surveillance systems that utilize 2.5-inch drives for video storage.

Installation Notes

The adapter supports SATA revisions I, II, and III (1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 Gbps), ensuring broad compatibility with host systems. It operates within an ambient temperature range of 25°C to 80°C (77°F to 176°F) and can be stored between -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). The physical dimensions are 3.9 inches in length, 2.8 inches in width, and a slim 0.3 inches in height, fitting into standard 7mm drive bays.
