JacobsParts M.2 NGFF SSD to - Review

When it comes to upgrading a laptop or desktop computer's storage drive, solid-state drives (SSDs) are the way to go. They are faster, more durable, and more reliable than traditional hard drives. However, not all computers are compatible with SSDs, especially the newer M.2 NGFF SATA SSDs. This is where the JacobsParts M.2 NGFF SSD to 2.5" SATA III Enclosure 7mm Drive Adapter 2242 2260 2280 comes in. This adapter allows you to convert an M.2 NGFF SATA SSD into a standard 2.5" SATA III 6Gb/s drive, making it compatible with virtually any computer or SATA enclosure.

Design and Features

The JacobsParts M.2 NGFF SSD to 2.5" SATA III Enclosure 7mm Drive Adapter 2242 2260 2280 follows a simple yet functional design.

On one end of the enclosure is the M.2 slot where you insert your M.2 NGFF SATA SSD. The slot has a retention mechanism with a tiny screw that keeps the drive in place and helps with heat dissipation. The opposite end of the enclosure houses a standard SATA III 6Gb/s connector where you can plug in the adapter to a SATA cable or port on your computer or enclosure. The adapter is also 7mm thin, which allows it to fit in laptops that have a 2.5" drive bay.

Compatibility

If you're unsure of which type of M.2 SSD you have, you can check your laptop or motherboard's manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support.
