Hi folks - I have a 500 GB Samsung EVO 850 m.2 SATA drive from a notebook that failed (someone sat on it and cracked the motherboard :().
I'm looking for an adapter card that has (1) accept the 2280-sized EVO 850 m.2 SATA drive, (2) uses a PCIe slot, and (3) will provide 6 Gbit/s speed, and (4)does not require a conventional SATA port on the motherboard (both of my onboard 6 Gbit/s connections are used for the mirrored boot SSDs).
It looks like the StarTech PEX2M2 would work. Has anyone used one? If so, does it meet my requirements?
Thanks!
