NVMe SSD to SATA Adapter

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

SATA and NVMe are incompatible standards. M key SSDs are NVMe, that's why no simple SATA adapters exist.

Hi. Does M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD to SATA Adapter exist?

 

Adapters that do convert to SATA only support B-Key and B+M-Key SATA SSD:

Those that support M-Key NVMe SSD convert to U.2:

I presume it's not possible, at least not the cheap way.

Did anyone see an adapter that gets it done?

Nope there isn't a cheap adapter that connect nvme ssds to a sata interface. Just get a sata ssd if you want to use a sata interface.

They do mention in the listing that you cannot use that adapter to go from NVMe to SATA. In the case of the NVMe use case, they're just using the same SATA adapter to connect to a PCIe card. SATA and NVMe are completely different storage protocols so you can't adapt between the two.
