Do you know of any m.2 to SATA adapters that support NVMe? Or are these only for Sata M.2s?

[–] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Man, it sure would be helpful for my argument if I could.

I went back and checked the ones I was looking at, very helpful fine print stating "not for NVEM ssds", so they all only work with mSATA M.2 SSDs, hell of a let down.

Despite how similar the interface is the protocol is completely different. NVMe is basically just PCIe, so adaptating it so that it runs "under" SATA would be difficult if not almost impossible. And most definitely not worth the extra price.

Well no you can translate, but it just seems that nobody has actually made a product to do so.

e.g. those M.2 SSD to USB adapters, those aren't speaking NVMe to the host device. They either talk the traditional USB "bulk transfer" protocol, or potentially SCSI, translating that to NVMe for the SSD itself.

Damn... I was hoping you were aware of things that I had missed...

Anyway, if you run out of M.2 NVMe slots on your motherboard there are still options, since NVMe is just PCIe:
