Occasionally manufacturers surprise us with quite curious products that we are not used to, this time it is the new SilverStone MS09C accessory that has been announced as a utility that serves to convert M.2 disks into a USB stick with an interface USB 3.1.
SilverStone MS09C turns your SSD into a flash drive
SilverStone MS09C is a new accessory that is built with a high quality aluminum body and a size of 110 mm x 9 mm x 26 mm, making it comparable to that of the largest USB flash drives. Inside it hides a PCB with an M.2 slot to which we can connect an advanced SSD with an M.2 interface, the device supports units with a maximum length of 80 mm so it adapts to the M.2 standard -2280.
SATA vs M.2 SSD disk vs PCI-Express ssd Better for my PC?
The PCB includes the VIA Labs VL715 controller compatible with M.2 disks that make use of the SATA III 6 GB / s protocol and convert them into a USB 3.1 gen 2 device. SilverStone MS09C is not compatible with the more advanced M.2 disks with the NVMe protocol, something that makes sense since the USB 3.1 interface is much more limited in bandwidth so putting one of these disks would be a waste of its capabilities.
Its weight is only 33 grams so it is very light and transportable, its price has not been announced.
