⚡🧩 SATA • Micro SATA Adapter

This adapter converts a Micro SATA interface—used on ultra-compact 1.8" SSDs—into a standard SATA power + data connection. It enables access to older drives using modern desktop or duplicator setups.
 
🔧 Adapter Format
Input: Micro SATA Female (16-pin: 7 data + 9 power)
Output: Standard SATA Male (22-pin: 7 data + 15 power)
Voltage Support: 3.3V and 5V (required by most Micro SATA SSDs)
Form Factor: Compact inline adapter or short cable
 
🖥️ Compatible Devices
💽 1.8" SSDs with Micro SATA interface
🧠 Embedded systems and ultra-thin laptops (legacy models)
🧰 HDD/SSD duplicators and forensic recovery tools
🧪 Data migration setups for archival drives
 
✅ Common Uses
🔄 Recover data from legacy 1.8" SSDs
🧩 Connect Micro SATA drives to desktop SATA ports
🛠️ Integrate rare SSDs into duplicators or test benches
📦 Archive or clone Micro SATA drives before disposal
🧪 Experiment with compact form factor storage in custom builds
 
🧠 Signal Format Notes
Micro SATA: 16-pin connector (7 data + 9 power), smaller than standard SATA
SATA: 22-pin connector (7 data + 15 power), widely supported
❗ Voltage mismatch can damage Micro SATA drives—ensure adapter supports 3.3V
⚡ No signal conversion—pure physical interface bridge
 
⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
🔥 Not compatible with mSATA (Mini SATA) or Slimline SATA—different formats entirely
🧯 Some adapters only support 5V—check specs if your drive needs 3.3V
📏 Handle 1.8" drives carefully—connectors are fragile and rare
🧪 Avoid using with high-power SATA rails unless voltage is regulated
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🔍 Confirm your drive is Micro SATA—not mSATA or Slimline
🧭 Use adapters with labeled voltage support (3.3V/5V)
🧰 Ideal for data recovery labs, legacy laptop upgrades, or archival access
🧪 Keep Micro SATA adapters in your toolkit—they’re rare but essential for niche jobs
🧯 Never force the connection—Micro SATA pins are delicate
