  • Access Ultra-Fast M.2 NVMe drives and SATA HDD/SSD storage via USB 10Gbps

    Access and manage M.2 NVMe and 2.5 in/3.5 in SATA SSDs/HDDs through a single USB-C or USB-A 10Gbps connection. The 2-in-1 NVMe and SATA adapter enables simultaneous read and write access for fast data transfer, recovery, and upgrades. This hard drive reader is a versatile solution for IT professionals performing backups, disk imaging, or maintenance on M.2 NVMe and legacy SATA drives.

    External Drive Access over USB-C and USB-A

    Connect the M.2 NVMe and SATA SSD Adapter directly to laptop or workstation using the integrated USB-C cable with USB-A adapter. The open-top M.2 slot maintains airflow for consistent performance during sustained workloads. The NVMe/SATA Adapter supports up to 700 MB/s write speeds over M.2 NVMe, and up to 6 Gbps over SATA III when connected to legacy 2.5in or 3.5in SATA drives. Please note that M.2 SATA drives are not supported.

    Compact Form Factor

    Lightweight and portable, the adapter fits easily into any IT toolkit or workspace. It runs on USB bus power for a single 2.5 in SATA or M.2 NVMe drive, and includes a universal power adapter required for 3.5 in SATA drives, for connecting two drives at once, or when a single drive draws more power than USB can provide. Ideal for IT technicians and end users needing portable, tool-free drive access.
