This is how you get to the msata SSD. You must place the msata SSD in the designated area of this case and connect it to the USB port of the other computer in order to access all files stored on it.
Yes, as long as they're all using the same controller chip. It should include an ASMedia 1153 controller that supports UASP (which I tested on Linux and found to be correct). If it doesn't work for you, I'm guessing it's because of an issue with the ASUS software.
On my tablet/hybrid, it worked perfectly. I swapped out the tablet's old 64GB mSata for a new 240GB. Recognized right away and formatted without a hitch. This device is used as a back-up.
Yes, but it has Standard A plugs on both sides, so you won't be able to use any other cables.
Selected User Reviews For Sabrent USB 3.0 mSATA II or III/6G SSD Enclosure Adapter [Support UASP] (EC-UKMS)
I had a spare 128GB mSATA SSD from the salvage after my old Gigabyte P35 v2 laptop died. I came across this Sabrent enclosure and decided to take a chance on it. And there's not much else to say about it except that it works flawlessly. In addition, it is extremely quick. br>br>As others have mentioned, there is a small amount of rattle audible when moving or shaking the enclosure, but it isn't an issue for me. The fact that you can put a fat ass mSATA drive in it, as well as the sheer speed of the thing as a glorified jump drive, makes quibbling over a small rattle seem silly. br>br>Also, no problem. To the touch, the item will be warm. In any case, mSATA drives generate a lot of heat. Don't worry about the thing overheating because you can use it all day. Believe me when I say this: In this aluminum enclosure, the mSATA drive will be much cooler than it was in your laptop. By their very nature, the drives are extremely hot. It isn't a cause for concern. Look at how hot m. is. There will be two drives. br>br>Excellent product; I keep it in my laptop bag and use it at work and at home every day. br>br>I have no complaints at all.
I almost took the entire thing apart trying to get it to come back on, to the point where I decided to extract the hard drive and recover the information for use on a better laptop, as many others I noticed on line. It turned out that the "hard drive" was an M-drive. So when I came across this enclosure, I was hopeful. I measured the drive because I was concerned about ESD (and you should be too when considering the plain circuit cards on the market), and it appeared to meet the enclosure's specifications (30mm x 50mm (1. 1 in x 1. 9 in). The drive fit perfectly into the CCA, and I was able to locate all of the files I needed and transfer them to a flashdrive, allowing the enclosure to be used as an external hard drive. The enclosure is made of sturdy steel and will protect the electronics both physically and electrically. This product has exceeded my expectations.
br>br>For those of you wondering if the "Sabrent USB 3. 0" is compatible with the "Sabrent USB 3. 0," the answer is yes. [Support UASP] EC-0 mSATA II or III/6G SSD Enclosure Adapter (EC-0 mSATA II or III/6G SSD Enclosure Adapter) (EC-0 mSATA II or III/6G SSD En UKMS)" fits a 25mm mSATA drive, just as the description claims (at the time of this review). Just keep in mind that it doesn't work like that. There is no way to attach the drive to the PCB board, which is standard for m2 devices, to keep it stable. br>br>As you can see in the photos, the m2 drive does not lay flat and instead sits loosely on the PCB board, causing the housing to make direct contact with the flash drive. This is not a good thing.
Everything seemed to be working fine at first, until I tried to transfer some files back and it would disconnect every 10 seconds or so, or even worse if I touched the drive. It appears to be a problem with the USB port on the case, so I changed the cable to one of mine and it worked better, but it still dropped the connection every 30 seconds or so, so I ended up having to hold it in a special way and push on the USB end. I put the SSD back in its old case and it works perfectly; I guess I'll have to order another of the old cases for this extra SSD, as this one is going to the landfill.
I needed a way to connect the new mSATA drive to my laptop so that it could be cloned without putting it in danger of electrical shorting. In this enclosure, I installed my replacement mSATA drive and connected it to a free USB port. I used the USB 3. 0 port on my laptop to clone the drive, then replaced the old mSATA drive with the cloned drive and placed it in this enclosure. br>It went off without a hitch, and I was up and running in less than an hour. br>Because I won't be doing this very often, the fewer variables the better. br>The entire procedure made me very happy.
