Typical options include SATA power to 4-pin (LP4/Molex) adapters, Molex/LP4-to-dual-SATA Y splitters, and single-cable SATA power adapters. Cable lengths shown in listings include examples like 12 inches and about 1.4 feet.

These adapters support common M.2 SATA module lengths—2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280—and accept B Key and M+B Key M.2 SATA SSDs, including full-length M.2 SATA drives.

Most items reference SATA III (up to 6 Gbps). SAS-capable adapters reference SAS revision I/II (3.0/6.0 Gbps). PCIe x1 SATA controller cards typically provide two SATA III (6 Gbps) ports and list support for PCIe 2.0 and SATA 3.2/AHCI 1.4.

Adapters convert a 2.5" drive to fit a 3.5" bay by using a 3.5"-sized bracket with standard mounting holes or a tool-less bracket. Many adapters accept 2.5" drives up to 15mm in height.

Host interface is typically PCIe x1 (commonly PCIe 2.0), with support for SATA 3.2/AHCI 1.4. Listed operating systems commonly include Windows (7 and later), macOS (10.6.8 and later), and Linux (kernel 2.6.32 and later).

M.2-to-2.5" adapters support M.2 module lengths (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) and fit standard 2.5" bays of 7mm or larger. 2.5"-to-3.5" adapters accept 2.5" drives up to 15mm in height for installation into 3.5" bays.

Warranty coverage varies by product—some items list a lifetime limited warranty, while others specify a 2-year limited warranty. Refer to the product page for exact warranty terms.
