[SOLVED] m.2 adapter in a laptop?

[Lil’bertz]

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-M-2-2-5in-SATA-Adapter/dp/B00ITJ7U20 does this work in laptops as boot drives? i doubt it will works because of the same concept of using m.2 to pcie adapter

it only work with sata type m.2. show on 3rd image
get a 2.5" ssd

That adapter is only compatible with M.2 SATA drives, so it is simply adapting the form factor of M.2 to 2.5in.

It would work assuming you use an M.2 SATA drive like an MX500 M.2.

that is what im also thinking. i just want to know if it will work. and i dont mind using a sata m.2 as nvme m.2 drives are overkill

really like using that as a windows boot drive?

Yes, because your BIOS would see it as any other 2.5in SATA drive.

M.2 SATA Drives and 2.5in SATA Drives are basically the same things, just shaped differently with a different connector shoved on the end.

However, why wouldn't you just buy a 2.5in SATA drive for the same price with the same performance? Plus you wouldn't need any adapter.

Remember, M.2 NVME drives like a Samsung 970 Evo would not work.

Just buy a 2.5" SATA SSD. Drop in replacement for an HDD, no "adapter" needed.

Exact same performance as an M.2 SATA SSD.

i know that i should buy a 2.5 inch drive instead of this adapter but i would like to see two m.2 drives in a adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com...YK4RE9BKMMCJ&refRID=T6HKHND3YK4RE9BKMMCJ&th=1 in a laptop in jbod mode, the first drive is for boot, the other drive is for other things as my laptop doesnt have cd drive(it's 2020) to expand more drives.

Seeing as that connect to the system via a single SATA connection, how is it supposed to present two individual drives to the PC or laptop?

JBOD is seen as a single space, you don't get to choose one for boot, the other for other things.

would port multiplier work too?

would port multiplier work too?

A port multipler, inside a laptop?
No, because the laptop does not have recipient ports.


Just get a single larger 2.5" drive.

No, because the laptop does not have recipient ports.

this is what im looking for

Just go out and buy a larger capacity SSD in a 2.5in form factor. MX500 is my go to for this.
