## Description

Review: FAST, CHEAP, RELIABLE, What more could you want? - FAST, CHEAP, RELIABLE, What more could you want? REVIEW: Sabrent mSATA to 2.5-Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-MSSA) SUMMARY: Arrived perfect condition, well packaged, easy to use without instructions, performance was on par with what I expected from my MSATA drive. One note is that the picture show the case screws going into the wrong set of holes. (the screws go on the inside set of holes, not the outside as shown in the picture). It even came with a screwdriver. UNBOXING: (see picture) INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Perfectly met my expectations for the price. I wanted something cheap and quick and that is what I got. I saw a few horror stories in other reviews, but I’m glad I ignored them. Aluminum case to diffuse any heat (not that I found there was any). PERFORMANCE / EASE OF USE: INITIAL SETUP: My “old” laptop died and I wanted to reuse the 512GB MSATA card that I installed in it a few years ago. Once I had the card out of my laptop, I transferred it to this case. Screwed it down with included screws. Then I added the side screws to the case, and dropped the whole thing into an external USB enclosure I had left over from some drives I shucked for my NAS. Anyway, I plugged it all in, the drive was instantly recognized and I was able to quickly backup any leftover files from my old laptop. My MSATA card by the way is a Samsung EVO 840 MSATA 500GB PERFORMANCE: I was worried about heat, but there was none at all. Performance was close to SATA II speeds over USB 3.1 chassis that I had. I don’t expect any issues long term. Next, I will likely install the drive as a new boot drive in a spare laptop I have. SUMMARY: I would recommend this to anyone who needs a quick way to rescue / reuse and old MSATA card. Especially if they are going to put this into another device. I’m not sure it would hold up on its own as an external drive (without a full case around it).
Review: These guys are just darn good at what they do - I bought this because of how pleased I was with a previous Sabrent purchase, the external USB SATA drive housing. The cleverness of the mechanical design was just great - it snapped together trivially with no tools - and electrically it worked seamlessly. This device was the same. I bought this because I had purchased another mSATA to SATA adapter, and it worked fine electrically, but it gave me problems mechanically. It would work loose from time to time and my system would say "no drive present". So I had high expectations for this purchase, and Sabrent did not disappoint. What a thoughtful design. A cloth strap to help pull the clamshells apart. Screws to firmly hold the mSATA drive inside the housing, and a quality, dimensionally correct housing, and more screws to secure the housing shut. No fighting required to get it together, or to get it to mate with my machine. It's exactly the size and shape of a hard drive, and the housing appears to be good quality powder-coated metal. The screws all mate easily with the screw holes. My only slight sadness is that I wish they had included the four screws that affix the drive to its bracket in my machine. Fortunately I had both saved my old screws and was able to find them. Lastly, I turned the machine back on and it just worked. No surprise - it's Sabrent. Keep up the good work, guys!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this support trim? i.e. will i be able to trim an msata drive by using this to put it in my computer (intel nuc).**
A: This is just a passthrough adapter so Windows and your BIOS will see just your drive not the adapter.

**Q: Will this work for a samsung ssd mzmte256hmhp-00000 256gb msata?**
A: I expect so, since it's supposed to work with all msata drives. I use is with my Crucial M500 240GB mSATA (from Amazon in 2014).

**Q: Will this work with a samsung mzmpc256hbgj-000l1 - 256gb 6gb/s msata mlc solid state ssd?**
A: NO!    The samsung mzmpc256hbgj-000l1 - 256gb 6gb/s msata mlc solid state ssd is a 52 pin mini SATA SSD, not a MSATA SSD.

**Q: What is the height of the enclosure?**
A: Same height as a typical SSD or laptop hard drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent function and performance reading mSATA data on all platforms tested
*by M***H on December 24, 2023*

This little mSATA to USB reader worked well, is built well and shows the finishing touches of a class product. Sabrent included a tiny Phillips screwdriver for disassembling the shell, and included a spring loaded retainer to hold down the opposite end of the mSATA drive from the data/power connector. Extra case screws were also in the package. We have other Sabrent readers for drives and SD cards, all work very well and are very affordable. The only tiny quibble we have is a bit of wiggle room where the USB port attaches to the motherboard where the case has two metal pieces folded over to hold the case on. Some tiny dabs of RTV silicon fixed this problem.
