Hello,

Got a thin client with 8GB MSATA storage, trying to install Sophos XG firewall software but HDD is not recognized. I also need a bigger storage capacity.
Have a few old 2.5" HDD, connectors/pins look identical so removed the MSATA HDD and 2.5" drive slots in fine, but due to the size of the enclosure, I can't leave it connected to the slot directly.

Is it possible to connect the 2.5" HDD to MSATA slot using an adapter?

Thanks in advance,
