M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 External SSD Reader Converter Adapter Enclosure with UASP, Support NGFF M.2 2280 2260 2242 2230 SSD with Key B/Key B+M(Can't Fit for PCIe NVMe/PCIe AHCI with Key M)

Finally one that actually works with B+M SATA drives. I have tried three readers that claim to support B+M SATA and they don't work. This one does.

muy buen producto

Husband had been searching for this exact item to help repair our daughters laptop. It was exactly what he needed to read the drive and worked perfectly. Will be great for future use in his profession.

If you plan to use this with a Raspberry Pi 4, you will find it will boot only on USB2.0 ports, unless you apply a tweak on the Pi. Since Amazon will not allow links in reviews, all I can say is search on this and you will find the answer. "Raspberry Pi 4 only boots from SSD over USB 2.0, but not over USB 3.0"

I installed a brand new Crucial MX500 500GB M.2 SATA drive into the unit, closed it up, and plugged it in to my laptop. The system saw it immediately, I successfully partitioned the drive, and successfully did a small file copy to the drive. However, when I started a very large file copy operation, the unit abruptly stopped working after a few minutes. The system logs report that the USB device spontaneously disconnected from the host, causing the file transfer to error out (and probably corrupting the filesystem as well).I opened up the case and double-checked that the M.2 drive was seated properly. I also inspected the board under a magnifying loupe, but didn't see any solder blobs or other obvious manufacturing defects. I tried the unit once more, and it once again disconnected in the middle of the file transfer.I did notice the unit becoming somewhat warm during the file transfer. During my inspection, I found no heatsink on the main controller chip, nor was the chip in physical contact with the aluminum case -- a technique used by some makers to dissipate heat. My *guess* is that the controller chip in the housing is overheating, causing it to fail.So, alas, this unit will be returned.

My review of the KAMRUI Mini PC AM06PRO, gave it a very poor rating because of how the PC burned up and stop working! Well the M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 External SSD Reader Converter Adapter Enclosure with UASP, worked just fine! I was able to pull the m.2 SATA drive out of the Kamrui junk mini-PC and use this M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 adapter to move my data off of the drive. The M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 adapter works very well! I highly recommend it!

Quick shipping, easy to install.I had tried unsuccessfully to transfer files from my old computer through windows. Just would not work for the very large batch of files I was dealing with. Even tried to take to back up file and back to new computer, still very poor results with hours wasted.But with this I was Able to retrieve all the files from my old computer. Really made it easy.And they are saved and safe on my original SSD if I ever it need in future.

I wrote the review a few days ago while using SanDisk 128GB M.2 SATA drives. Same issue as I put below happened again. I have another m.2 drive in a box with some other parts and pieces I have accumulated. I will see if that works before I call this a "bad" deal.UPDATE, OK THE OTHER DRIVE I HAVE IS ALSO A SANDISK BUT ONLY A 16GB. IT WORKS AND HAS NOT "FAILED" (at least not a hard failure) AS OF YESTERDAY. HOWEVER IT DID 'GLITCH' IN THE MIDDLE OF COPYING SOME FILES. I UNPLUGGED IT AND PLUGGED IT BACK IN AND IT FINISHED COPYING THE FILES. NOT SURE IF I LIKE THIS DEVICE, I WILL LEAVE MY REVIEW AS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.I may just have an issue with brand compatibility, will update if I find anything new. Well, I have a few 128GB M.2 SATA drives and I thought this would be a good way to utilize them and have a small portable device larger than my 32GB & 64GB USB sticks. Mine arrived with no instructions, just a device in a box. I took it to work, installed a drive. Everything was great, recognized ok and I copied some files. Again great. I set it aside, took it home and plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop later that evening, nothing. A beep when plugged in but no recognized devices. I took it back to work, put the drive back in a Windows 10 pc with 2 M.2 SATA connectors and the files I copied were there. Put it back in this adapter, plugged into my desktop and aside from the beep, nothing detected. so the M.2 SATA drive is ok in a connector on the motherboard on a pc so it wasn't fried or damaged. A different 128GB M.2 SATA drive was installed onto this adapter and it all worked fine. Again I copied some music, some software .iso images, a large folder of photos. Everything works as it should. I left it at work over the weekend and plugged it in to my Windows 10 desktop pc and it beeped but that was it, no device recognized. I removed the M.2 SATA drive from adapter and installed it into a motherboard connection and again all files were there. I installed a different M.2 SATA drive into the adapter and it still works. These have all been formatted as NTFS. I have movies I would like to put on the drive for when traveling but nothing over 4GB so I am going to try exFAT on a drive and install it on the adapter and see if that doesn't remain stable. I am not sure why it is fickle. Nothing is damaged but having to remove drives, swap them around, re-install into a motherboard connection to test and verify they still function is a lot of extra steps and aggravation. Fingers crossed on the exFAT switch. Hope this helps someone. UPDATE, EXFAT nor NTFS makes a difference, same issues.
