Review: Great product at a great price with very quick shipping! - My work computer was fried yesterday by my youngest plugging a live usb cable in another port. killed the motherboard. for how much I paid for that machine, you'd think that they would have a contingency worked out. maybe put a fuse in there where all ports connect to prior to touching the motherboard. man, was I mad and anxious, I need a powerful machine for my work but I do have a couple spare laptops around that are just old, one is just for the kids to play with so they don't play with Dad's very expensive laptop. Another I use as a server, private email, download and stream machine and to manage my home network as well as a few other things. it's amazing what a machine with outdated hardware and a very large hardrive can do when running a lite Linux OS. well I needed the harddrive which happened to be a mini SSD from my work machine and startech.com in combo with desertcart were able to get me the addaptor less than 12 hours from ordering it. took a laptop from my collection, one of the more decent ones, few screws, pulled the ssd out of it, inserted the adaptor, pluged the mSATA SSD into it and powered it up. horray! it worked perfectly. I seriously could not be a more satisfied customer and very much recomend this product for simular situations. it wouldn't be good for upgradding to a mSATA becouse it does create a bottle neck. for an upgrade I would just replace the harddrive with any regular size SSD but this was an absolutely amazing product for my situation. now the fun part- shopping for a new rig but for now, this will get e through the work week. I know you are thinking, "why dont you back your system up, then it would be be easy to copy the image to a spare drive." well I do have backups but right before this even happened I had just spent 8 hours working on a project that is important and has some personal info on clients along with an invoice for the work that was schedualed to be encrpted and backed up at 1 am like every other day to my homemade network NAS. the short of it is: this product is great, price is great, the seller is great, shipping was incredible. thank you guys so much, I will be recomending you to everyone.

Review: Great for my laptop which has only a SATA 3.0gbps for mSATA drives, but a SATA 6gbps for 2.5" - I have a performance laptop from Original PC (the EON 17S), but as wonderful as it is, the mSATA port on-board is only SATA 3.0gbps. In order to take advantage of the 6.0gbps standard, you have to be using the 2.5" drive bays with your SSD. Realizing this, I decided to take my mSATA drive and convert it to a 2.5" SSD and purchased this device to do that. The device worked flawlessly, enabling me to plug my mSATA drive into the 2.5" drive bay and effectively DOUBLE the speed in which it was able to function. It basically enabled the computer to recognize the mSATA drive as a standard 2.5" SSD without any issues. If you have a laptop with mSATA support, you may want to check what version of SATA it is capable of, and if you have the same issue as me, this device is a GREAT solution for getting the true performance out of your mSATA drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by P***A on September 22, 2016*

I took out the mSATA SSD from my Dell XPS13 and used this adapter to use in an Intel NUC6i3SYH. Works perfectly fine. I am using the system with Gentoo Linux. I didn't have to do anything special to get the system to recognize my SSD. This adapter is invisible to the OS or BIOS, as far as I could see.
