SK Hynix HFM128GDHTNG-8310 M.2 PCIe NVMe M.2 BG3 128GB SSD not work on SATA

[jogene]

Hi, I have SK Hynix M.2 PCIe NVMe M.2 BG3 128GB SSD Drive tha came from Lenovo ThinkCentre M720Q, I want to use it on my other PC but its not working on my M.2 to Sata Adaptop, its is possible that this ssd is working only on PCIe NVMe not on Sata?, the ssd has form factor is NVMe and Sata M.2 because it's ha 2 slot gap.

my guest is this SSD is only NVMe not compatible on Sata even is has a form factor that will slot on M.2 Sata and no marking of SATA logo.

what do you think about this ssd, its is possible to work on my M.2 to Sata adaptor?

That is correct.

 

The form factor is M.2, but that's exclusively a PCIe device. It can't "speak" SATA, and those little passive adapter boards don't do any translation.

 

If you have a spare PCIe slot in that PC, get an M.2 to PCIe adapter. That should let you access the drive!

[-rascal-]

The SSD may be B+M key, but likely internally connected as NVMe / PCI-E only, not SATA.

M.2 is the form factory.

What motherboard are you using? 

 

If you have even a single pci-e x1 slot, you can get a cheap adapter that converts  the M.2 nvme SSD to work in pci-e x1 slot.  It will be limited to around 470 MB/s if your slot is pci-e 2.0 x1 , or around 950 MB/s if your slot is pci-e 3.0

 

You may or may not be able to boot from it (if depends on the bio) , but it will show up as a SSD in Windows.

I want to use it on my All in One PC with no pcie slot (Acer Aspire U5-610) because my sata ssd on it is old already
