Internal mSATA adapter DELOCK 62648 with Micro-USB host interface, 6 Gbit/s, 65×56×12 mm

DELOCK 62648 is an internal mSATA adapter that provides a Micro‑USB host interface and an mSATA output for connecting mSATA solid‑state drives. The adapter supports SATA III data transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s and fits compact installations with its 65 × 56 × 12 mm dimensions. It is designed for internal integration in small form‑factor systems and embedded devices, and can be used for drive upgrades, testing, or adding storage to single‑board computers that expose a Micro‑USB host or USB pin header.

Advantages

The adapter offers a simple internal connection between a Micro‑USB host or USB pin header and an mSATA module, enabling SATA III performance without external enclosures. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it suitable for space‑constrained installations. The device is supplied in a two‑tone finish and accepts standard mSATA modules, allowing reuse of existing drives for upgrades or diagnostics. No external power adapter is required when the host provides sufficient power through the Micro‑USB or header interface.

Suitable for

• Integrating mSATA SSDs into small form‑factor PCs and embedded systems
• Adding or testing storage on single‑board computers with a Micro‑USB host or USB header (for example Raspberry Pi setups)
• Drive upgrades and migrations where a compact internal adapter is preferred
• Laboratory or diagnostic environments for quick drive verification

Key specifications

• Interface: Micro‑USB host input and USB pin header connectivity for internal host connection
• Output: mSATA connector for 2.5" form‑factor mSATA modules
• Supported transfer rate: up to 6 Gbit/s (SATA III)
• Dimensions: 65 × 56 × 12 mm suitable for compact installations
• Colour: black and red two‑tone finish

How to use

Install an mSATA module into the adapter’s mSATA slot and secure it according to the module’s mounting method. Connect the adapter to the host system using the Micro‑USB host port or the internal USB pin header, ensuring correct orientation of the connector. Power on the host; the operating system should detect the mSATA drive as a standard SATA storage device once drivers and power are available. For single‑board computers like Raspberry Pi, confirm the board supports USB host mode on the Micro‑USB connector or use the USB header connection as applicable.

Recommendations

Ensure the host supplies sufficient power over the Micro‑USB or USB header before connecting power‑hungry SSDs. Handle the mSATA module and adapter on an anti‑static surface and avoid excessive force when seating connectors to prevent damage. For reliable performance, use quality mSATA modules and verify compatibility with the host system’s USB‑to‑SATA support.
