Review on Portable mSATA SSD Adapter with USB 3.0, TanGuYu - Mini SATA for Flash Drives/External HDDs, 50mm Mini PCIe SSD Reader Converter by Kevin Abner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal for imaging an old drive

This mSATA adapter enabled a drive to be backed up from a computer that failed. It took 3 hours for an 8GB hard drive, but I wasn't checking for bottlenecks and it might just be the hard drive itself. I might even add it as a hard drive in Hyper-V. Performance in Hyper-V was poor, but I didn't try to optimize it. The chip got a bit warm (not too hot to hold a touch, but hot enough to be uncomfortable) so I wasn't expecting that to happen. survived many long I/O operations, at least without a heatsink attached.

Pros
  • This adapter can be used to diagnose and test your mSATA SSD.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than others
