SABRENT M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-M2SA) [Not NVMe]

Very good product, but the only drawback is that it is slightly larger than a real 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive, which makes it impossible to fit into some cramped spaces. Very excellent product

Comes with a screwdriver to help you install it as well, worked fine. No issues detecting the drive.

Worked as expected

A cheap solution to an annoying problem. If your m.2 isn't recognized by your motherboard, something like this will resolve the issue and allow you to treat it like 2.5 SSD plugged into a SATA port.

I needed something to put my M.2 NVMe Samsung 990 PRO into so I could use it in my docking station that does not have the M.2 NVMe connector on it. This seemed to fit the bill when I purchased it.Got it out of the box and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to open it. Since it had a screw driver I figured it has screws that need to be taken out like other enclosures, but nope. There is a small clear piece of plastic you pull on to remove the cover. That's better than screws but they could have mentioned this in the manual.Next I try to put my M.2 into the slot and I find that it won't fit. This piece of junk has the tab that goes in between the two rows of pins too far to one side, so it hits the wide row of pins rather than sliding into the slot. Or the bracket is too small and the M.2 can't go to the right far enough as it hits the wall of the bracket. Maybe cheap Chinese M.2 drives fit in this, but none of my Samsung M.2's will.Total waste of money and time.

I'm sure this works fine so I'm changing my review to five stars. I realized my SSD is NVMe. It was B+M Keyed so I figured SATA. I was wrong.

Does its job well!

This looks like it would work great, but it is not compatible with the Lexar NM790 drive I want to put in it. The drive will not physically fit because the direction the M.2 connector is keyed in has the heat sink on the drive oriented towards the adapter's board, and it cannot fit that way. The adapter's description did not mention that it was incompatible with drives that had a heat sink.
