Axagon RSS-M2SD SATA - M.2 SATA SSD, internal 2.5 inch ALU box, silver

Internal 2.5" box AXAGON RSS-M2SD with SATA interface is designed for SATA M.2 SSDs.

The SATA 6G interface will allow the user to enjoy modern M.2 SSDs with a bit rate of up to 6Gb/s. In addition, the internal M.2 box supports other modern functionalities, e.g. TRIM.

In the box, SATA M.2 SSDs with a size up to 22x80 mm can be mounted. The box does not limit SSD capacity, and inserted M.2 SSD cards may be of both one-sided and double-sided types.

In the operating system, in BIOS (UEFI) and during booting, the internal box with inserted M.2 card behaves like a standard hard disk. This reduction features both appearance and dimensions of a standard SDD. By inserting the M.2 SSD in the reduction you will easily create a very fast internal 2.5" disk.

Input:
• SATA 6G (SATA III) interface, compatible with SATA 3G (SATA II) and SATA 1.5G (SATA I).
• 22-pin (7+15) SATA data and power supply male connector to connect the box with the motherboard.
• To achieve the best possible bit rates, the use of a SATA 6G controller is recommended.

Device support:
• SATA M.2 SSDs.
• designed for B+M-key and B-key card formats,
• NGFF 75-pin B-key slot for SATA M.2 drives.

Other features:
• Support of B+M-key or B-key SATA (AHCI) M.2 SSDs without maximum capacity limitation.
• Support of M.2 drives with a size of 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 mm.
• Support of both one-sided and double-sided M.2 SSDs.
• Compliant with Serial ATA 3.1 specification (SATA/600), bit rates of up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s).
• Compliant with Serial ATA 2.0 specification (SATA/300), transfer rates as high as 3 Gb/s (300 MB/s).
• Compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specification (SATA/150), bit rates of up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s).
• Support of TRIM functionality to limit gradual degradation of the SSD performance over time.
• SSD/HDD boot support in internal box.
• Full Plug and Play support.
• The adapter is supplied from a standard 15-pin SATA power supply connector.
• The aluminium body helps to cool the M.2 SSD.

Other data:
• Internal box dimensions 100 x 70 x 7 mm.
• Internal box weight 48 g (without M.2 SSD).

Supported operating systems:
• MS Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 and later, Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 / 2016 and later (all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS versions are supported), Mac OS X 10.x and higher, Linux with kernel 2.6.x and higher.
• Note: This is solely a hardware reduction, no drivers are installed.

Package contains:
• internal 2.5" SATA box for SATA M.2 SSD,
• mounting material and a screwdriver,
• printed installation manual EN/CZ/DE/ESP/FR/HU/IT/PL/RO/RU/SK/BG,
• packed in a cardboard box with clearly indicated parameters.

How to use

Mount the M.2 SATA SSD into the NGFF slot, secure it with the supplied mounting material and screwdriver, then connect the enclosure to the motherboard using the 22‑pin SATA data and power connector and to the power supply via the 15‑pin SATA power cable. After installation the drive appears in BIOS/UEFI and the operating system as a standard internal SATA disk; no drivers are required. For best performance connect to a SATA 6G (SATA III) controller.

Recommendations

Use the enclosure in systems with a SATA III controller to reach maximum transfer rates and ensure good airflow around the aluminium body to assist passive cooling. This device is a hardware adapter only — no software installation is necessary.
