Introduction

The SAT2MSAT25 mSATA to 2.5in SATA Solid State Drive Converter turns an mSATA

(Mini SATA) mini SSD into a standard 2.5in SATA SSD for use anywhere a 2.5in SATA

drive can be used.

Featuring all of the standard mounting points that a normal 2.5in hard drive uses,

the converter can be installed into enclosures, hard drive docks or into desktop and

laptop computers. The unique design facilitates seamless data pass-through with no

conversion bottlenecks, enabling the mSATA drive to work as fast as it’s allowed by the

host system/interface.

WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling,

especially when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk,

lost data may result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with

strap when handling computer components or discharge yourself of any

static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such

as the computer case) for several seconds.

Hardware Installation

1. Open the enclosure casing by removing the four small screws on the bottom side

and removing the bottom panel.

2. Insert the mSATA drive into the slot connector at an angle. Make sure to properly

line up the notch in the slot connector with the notch on the mSATA drive
