ANDYCINE Lunchbox mSATA to SATA Adapter DIY Magnalium Case for mSATA SSD T5 1TB/2TB Compatible for Atomos Ninja V,Ninja V+,Ninja Flame,Ninja Inferno,and Shogun Inferno

I absolutely LOVE this item because it opens the door to using mSATA drives instead of traditional SATA drives and there are a number of high quality drives out there at good prices and you can even take apart the very popular and reliable Samsung T5. Another thing I love is that its much smaller than using regular 2.5 SSDs, and you dont have the oversized caddy sticking out.

Works well. Fairly easy install with my samsung T5. fits my shogun perfectly

Had no problems installing my mSATA drive into this. The kit comes with a cloth to wipe it down, not really sure what thats about. Other than that, it comes with 5 screws for the outside shell and 2 for the mSATA drive. This was actually a lot smaller than I was expecting, kind of a half sized SSD. It has an open end for what I am assuming is to thread a lanyard maybe, but one is not provided.. OK, you get a useless cloth for wiping down ??? and no lanyard for an item that can clearly use one? OOOHHHH KKKKAAAYYY.. Minor complaints aside, I tested this with my mSATA in CrystalDiskMark and scored a 270 on the read and a 234 on the write. This is about half the speed of a normal SSD, but then, this IS an mSATA drive, so those numbers were (Im guessing) right on par where they should be. I do like this unit though, and I like that its smaller than I expected. Makes it really portable. The casing is all metal so its super strong. Minor complaints aside, Ill go ahead and give this a 5 star. Nice product, thank you for letting me review it.

I took a dogfish 500gb msata and stuck it into one of these guys. It worked perfectly. Followed the installation instructions but was sparing on the silicone in some parts to address the thickness issues that other people had mentions. I plan on pairing this with the USB C adapter to use along with my other lunchbox that I put my 860 into. If you have an old T5 lying around this is a cool way to recase it (though youll need the USB C adapter to use it)

My new mSata to Sata adapter box has a quality look and feel, which is appealing. It was easy for me to assemble with my mSata card, using the supplied Allen wrench and hex screws, taking me only minutes to complete, which I really liked. This can go inside a PC case attached to my PCs Sata cables and also I have tested this with my laptop using my own Sata to USB-A adapter, and works perfectly, as expected. I like this box mSata adapter, and recommend it.

This may be a case of cart before horse, found this mSATA case which provides much needed cooling for a USB-C attached mSATA card that we use constantly for migrating video files and for backups. This Andycine Lunchbox case is just what I wanted. Much better made than the USB-C attach mSATA/NVMe adapters we were using, and actually seemed to keep the mSATA chip cooler. After running using this Lunchbox for a couple of weeks, we got the matching USB-C to SATA Andycine adapter and found it increased my write speeds onto the mSATA sitting inside this Andycine Lunchbox. Now we were looking around for a small monitor to use both during remote video post-production and with our Canon DSLR. So, went and got the matching Atomos Ninja V that the lunchbox is designed to fit. So we went from getting this Andycine Red Lunchbox to test with mSATA to USB-C adapter, to getting the Andycine USB-C adapter for fast reads and writes, to getting another Andycine Black Lunchbox and the Atomos Ninja V monitor! Having the these accessories led to getting the more expensive product!

This is my second unit and I am loving it. It’s easy to install, you just have to follow the instructions and or watch the video. The experience is so worth it. You save money by using the affordable Samsung ssds as well as enjoy the portability that is second to none.

Converted one of my Samsung T7s with ease. Would buy again.

It was a little more work than I expected to get it installed., but worth it for the cost savings. Its very well made.

I found this easy to assemble. It expanded the storage capacity of my recorder for less than buying it elsewhere. The case seems to be very durable and is made of metal. Also, Samsung SSDs seem to be going on sale frequently lately, so you can pick one up to use in here for a good price.
