Anyone here use a higher end SSD based on PCIe?
-
My laptop is one of the faster ones and uses a 4x PCIe based SSD, M key. The laptop make matched the motherboard to a very decent ssd: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB MLC NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive". My backup preference is to clone drives (I have a device to do this - it's SATA based). All I need to do is drop two SATA drives into it, and push a button. So, I thought it would be trivial to find a USB to M key ssd adapter chassis to allow me to drop it into my cloner. Wrong. I wanted one of these: Amazon.com: QNINE M.2 Adapter to 2.5 SATA Enclosure, B & M Key SATA Based NGFF SSD Converter to 2.5 Inch SATA 3.0 Card Support 2230 2242 2260 2280 Hard Drive with 7mm Case: Computers & Accessories[^] But note the text in the listing: "Friendly Reminder: DOES NOT SUPPORT M.2 PCI-E SSD." After searching online for a week, and reading countless other requests for a product like this, I'm about to conclude that it just doesn't exist. I guess it falls under nonsensical - why would you want to take something so fast (4GB/sec) and use it in a slower interface (SATA)? Anyway, if any of you out there on an off chance know of a solution, I'm all ears. Thanks
