there are indeed plenty of adapter options for connecting M.2 drives to SATA. "M.2 to SATA adapter". you'll be severely bottlenecking these drives to 1/11 their potential speed doing this, due to SATA limitations. there are also PCIE options too which would run at about 80 percent of its potential instead of 9 percent. M.2 are more expensive than normal 2.5 inch drives after factoring in the adapter cost. a good SSD will nearly saturate a SATA connection. nothing beats an M.2 in the MB slot though. fresh start go SSD, you have the drive already get a PCIE adapter (check to make sure you have a lane), if its for a laptop or other device without an extra PCIE slot then by all means get the adapter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes, you're looking for an M.2 to SATA adapter, but it would be a gigantic waste of money since it would bottleneck this drive down to SATA 3 speeds which are roughly 1/8 what this drive is capable of. this is fast because and only when it's mounted directly to the MB. better off with a normal 2.5 SSD
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We thank you for your comment. No, there is no such adapter to fit Crucial NVMe SSD in a 3.5 inch HDD bay. If you want to use P5 Plus SSD externally then you will need a USB to PCIe M.2 adapter cable.
