StarTech Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5" SATA RAI...

Shop the StarTech Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5" SATA RAID Adapter Converter. Supports RAID modes for fast data transfer. Easy installation. Order yours today!

Because performance and reliability are paramount for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike, the Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5" SATA RAID Adapter Converter is a top-tier solution for enhancing your system's capabilities. This adapter converter is designed to seamlessly integrate into any 2.5" SATA HDD slot, allowing you to establish a robust mSATA SSD RAID array that can significantly accelerate your data processing speeds.With support for the latest SATA III controllers, this adapter ensures that you can harness the full speed of mSATA SSDs, with potential data transfer rates reaching up to 6 Gbps. This not only diminishes data transfer bottlenecks but also offers a more efficient alternative to traditional platter drives by reducing power consumption.Key Features:- Dual full-size mSATA SSD bays for flexible storage expansion- RAID support for RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirroring), JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks), and BIG configurations, catering to various performance or redundancy needs- An open-frame steel mounting bracket that promotes optimal heat dissipation, safeguarding your drives against overheating- A 2.5-inch SATA form factor housing that ensures compatibility with standard SATA HDD slots- Full compatibility with SATA I/II/III (1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbps) drives and controllers, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of systemsWhether you're looking to enhance your SSD system's capacity with additional storage in a RAID 0 or BIG array, or you aim to add data redundancy with RAID 1, this adapter converter is engineered to meet your needs. It also supports non-RAID operation (JBOD) when used with a port-multiplying SATA controller, allowing each drive to operate independently.The open-frame design of the adapter converter is not just about fitting into your system; it's about maintaining the longevity and performance of your SSDs by ensuring they remain cool under intense operations.Applications:- Upgrade your system's performance by adding an SSD in a RAID array for faster data access and processing- Implement data redundancy to safeguard critical information with mirrored SSDs in a RAID 1 setup- Expand the storage capacity of your system by combining mSATA SSDs in a RAID 0 or BIG configurationAdvantages:- Experience a significant system speed boost by incorporating SSD performance into your setup- Enjoy the flexibility of multiple RAID modes to achieve greater drive capacity or secure data redundancy- Opt for a greener, more energy-efficient storage solution with high-efficiency mSATA SSDsThe Dual mSATA SSD to 2.5" SATA RAID Adapter Converter is not only a powerful addition to your system but also a reliable one, backed by a manufacturer's commitment to quality with a 2-year warranty and lifetime technical support. Whether for intensive data workloads, gaming setups, or professional applications, this adapter converter stands as an essential component for anyone looking to enhance their computer's storage architecture.

This device can only ever go to the overall speed of the SATA III Spec which is 6gbps. Minus the overhead of the interface. Keep that in mind. With that said RAID 1 works as intended to give redundency. JBOD needs controller support on the SATA connection your connected to. BIG/SPAN works fine. Now RAID 0, This does increase performance but not overall speed. This does so by allowing the drives paired to have faster access times running together. Makes more of a performance increase for a boot drive. So smaller files can be access faster. But searching can have some added latency on the controller. But total speed can never go over 6Gbps, you need 2 connections over SATA for that. I went from a 500MBs Silicon Power Drive to this and get 450MBs now but the system is snappier and starts faster, Its noticeable but not greatly. I find this better for RAID 0, Or with the use of some clever adapters you can use this in a desktop to add a SATA port :-) . I'm using it to add an additional drive to a mini PC and another to use a few extra mSATA drives I just had lying around in another system for a 2nd boot drive. Hope that helps everyone.

Interesting Product, Works as I expected.

I was always shy of SSDs of any sort, due to reliability questions. I've also configured many small business servers, so RAID 1 is my preferred choice. This card gives me data redundancy and excellent speed at very good prices for it and mSATA SSD drives, if you shop around. [who doesn't shop around?]

Works great for me in RAID 1.

Got this one to install IPFIRE on my firewall using raid1 configuration, OS installed fine (Linux detected the drive) and in 20 minutes it was back in business.

Works

For my SATA external SSD I wanted to try a modern small size RAID Adapter Converter. So I have found the StarTech unit. The initial test with 2 mSATA 500GB SSD showed 2 individual "Drives". Changing to RAID1 was not successful until I formatted each SSD properly to HFSe. After that it was necessary to reformat the Converter. Formatting showed "JMicron RAID1", wich was successful. Afterwards the Converter was usable for backup with the TimeMachine. The "25SAT22MSAT" allows to build an inexpensive , but very small SSD memory up to 2TB. Proper Formatting is the secret!

Good for Apple Mac computers

Used this to install two Samsung 860 evo mSata drives into my 2012 MacBook Pro. Works fine right out of the gate, no problems whatsoever. I have them configured 'RAID 0', which theoretically is the fastest setup, but, Blackmagic speed test shows read/write at ~450 MB/s, no faster than individual disks would be. But the computer feels faster than it did with a single SSD, so possibly the Blackmagic test doesn't perfectly reflect what's actually going on.

Works great

500 MB/s is the speed of regular ssd. People buying your product expect twice faster speed with RAID 0. This is a fake product unless you tell us that we are wrong and the RAID 0 built with your product can be something closer to 900 MB/s

Fake product

I bought this for the RAID feature. It's a joke. I am able to use about half of the available bandwidth of my SATA 3 port. 2 identical Samsung EVO 850 drives as RAID-0 top out at just under 3 Gbps. A single drive performs almost 2 x faster. Using this product represents a waste of about $400AUD Suspect the bottleneck is the crummy J-micron controller.

Quite Disappointing

The electronic board is not fixed in the metal frame at the oposite end of SATA connector and RAID feature is a joke. RAID 0 is 2 times slower than a single drive instead of being 2 times faster! It doesn't worth the money. You will spend 50$ or more for nothing.
