I'm in an SSD To Sata Bind :/

[metaldc4life]

The reason i made the title as such is because i don't know what/who to believe and need help and REAL information on this:

I have two NVME SSD Sticks (I call them sticks because they look like sticks lol)

They are really m.2 PCIe Gen 3 SSD & that is 2TB and one that is a Netac N930-PRO M.2 NVME 1TB SSD "stick as i call them"..

So my question is this:

How can i combine both the SSD'S using RAID in a single sata drive for my laptop???

I have seen on ebay and Amazon "adapters" but they all say they don't take them together and together i mean dual ssd's to sata's..

To really narrow down my question i need to know what to buy and what to not buy because one says here on amazon:

Amazon.com: StarTech.com M.2 to SATA Adapter - Dual Slot - for 2.5in Drive Bay - RAID - M.2 SSD - M.2 Adapter - M.2 SSD Adapter (S322M225R)

and one on ebay says this:

NFHK SFF-8654 to U2 Kit NGFF M-Key to Slimline SAS NVME PCIe SSD SATA Adapter... | eBay

and

22Pin SATA M.2 SSD Adapter SFF-8643 to NVMe M.2 NGFF SSD for Mainboard- AL | eBay

I NEED help to shine light on this question please..

I am sooo confused and which should I buy??????

Oh and this is for my Laptop A Digital storm p750ZM..

Thank you and stay safe!

Ah, go find on the manufacturer website if it even supports RAID...
If so, there should be documentation from them howto.

Lol didn't think of that thank you that's most of my problem resolved!

So,
With the raid problem now solved does anyone recommend an NVME to sata adapter??

That would work properly and work in my laptop.

Thank you Again!

Buy an M2 Sata drive

Well,
I have two already as i mentioned that i wanted to use as a raid in a sata interface so i can have more room in my laptop's slot...

That's why i don't know what to get..


Should this work??

Amazon.com: StarTech.com M.2 to SATA Adapter - Dual Slot - for 2.5in Drive Bay - RAID - M.2 SSD - M.2 Adapter - M.2 SSD Adapter (S322M225R)

Provided that your laptop supports port multiplier (which I very much doubt), it will work, yes. But be mindful this adapter will bottleneck your PCIe SSDs very hard because the SATA bus is exceptionally slow. One of these Gen 3 NVMe SSDs would bottleneck a SATA III 6Gbps bus around 7 times over, and getting the throughput of two of them through a SATA III port is just... ehhh "Why would you willingly do this to yourself" kind of moment. In essence, I think you need to give up on this idea before you waste money and buy a real SATA SSD.

My mistake, read reply post please!

Woah i never thought it would bottleneck lol ok i will just buy a 4TB m.2 and call it good..


Problem Solved!

Thanks And Stay Safe Dr.!

SATA 3 SSDs max out at 550 MB/s or so for a reason

PCIe Gen 3 NVMe's usually do 3500 MB/s, Gen 4 7500 MB/s and the Gen 5 SSDs are arriving now at around 14000 MB/s sequential speeds, so you can see why placing two Gen 3 NVMes (which would amount to roughly the same bandwidth a Gen 4 drive would use) onto a SATA bus. That if your SATA host controller has the port multiplier/multiplexing capability, something you are unlikely to find in anything but dedicated host controller cards or server-grade hardware.

Also I just noticed: that adapter will not work with PCIe/NVMe type M.2 drives, only SATA M.2 - so I retract about it "working". At first glance I thought this was a PCIe-to-SATA converter, it isn't.

If you need to use the SSD on a laptop which has only a SATA port, it is really a better idea to buy a real SATA SSD instead, instead of a PCIe M.2 format drive at all.
