I stumbled upon this, I was actually looking for an M.2 to SATA converter while looking through reviews, and came across this one. The only downside is that it doesn't run on USB power, but is intended for use in a desktop, laptop, or NAS device. Currently I will use it for testing on desktops and laptops, but as a raid drive and extended storage, in a month I will make a video about it in both scenarios.
