Worked great to replace older 2.5" drive with SSD
Bought one of these to use a WD SA500 M.2 SATA SSD. Worked flawlessly in MacOS and Windows 10. Nearly 600 MB/s throughput, which matches peak spec from WD. Simple to install, slim-line 7mm tall 2.5" frame gives drop-in replacement.
Note - it does NOT work for M.2 NVMe/PCIe! Be sure to look at the pictures where it shows you the M.2 keying that it supports!

Incorrect description
Not mentioned in description, as on other websites as this is B type M.2 adapter... Bought one and no use, as B-type SSDs are very rare and obsolete now.

Response from Staples :
We apologize that our SAT32M225 is not working with your SSD. This adapter is only compatible with SATA-based M.2 SSDs and does not work with NVMe based SSDs which is why you're seeing issues fitting your drive into the adapter. Unfortunately at this time, we do not have an NVMe to SATA adapter but our M2E1BMU31C converts an NVMe SSD to USB. If you require any assistance or have any questions, we have phone support (1 800 265 1844) available, or you can connect with us via live chat.

Must be defective
My computer does not recognize this adapter, I'm running windows 10 premium and all drivers are up to date. I have a Samsung 1terabyte NGFF 2280 memory card in it and nothing happens when I plug it into my usb port with or without the Samsung Memory card installed in it.

Works great with a WD120 M.2 SATA SSD
Had to get this as my other M.2 adapter only works with M.2 NVMe SSD devices, and i needed something that worked with M.2 SATA SSD devices. This works fine. The PCB could be attached better to the metal frame as it flexes quite a bit at one end, but only an issue when installing the device.

SSD doesn't fit - and upside down?
My drive a sabrent rocket m.2 2280 SSD doesn't fit into the ngff slot
It's about 1mm out... It fits fine into my anime nvme enclosure.

Minor frustration
Has an input convention that is non-standard. The product itself is okay, however, having to order an adapter because this is not outlined in the specifications is frustrating.
