Lycom M.2 NGFF SATA to 7Pin SATA Converter for Hard Drive, SSD, Optical Drive

Lycom DT-118 M.2 (NGFF) SATA to 7-Pin SATA Converter (for HDD/SSD/Optical Drive)

The Lycom DT-118 is a simple, practical adapter that lets you use a motherboard’s M.2 (NGFF) SATA socket to connect a standard SATA device such as a 2.5" hard drive, 2.5" SATA SSD, or a SATA optical drive. It’s ideal for industrial PCs, compact systems, and custom builds where you have an M.2 SATA slot available but need a traditional SATA connection.

This converter is plug-and-play (no drivers required). Just remember: it works only with M.2 slots that support the SATA protocol (not NVMe/PCIe-only M.2 slots).

Key Features:

• Converts an M.2 (NGFF) SATA slot into a standard 7-pin SATA data connection
• Supports SATA devices such as hard drives, SATA SSDs, and optical drives
• Compatible with SATA I / SATA II / SATA III devices (device speed depends on host support)
• No drivers required – works at the hardware level
• Great for compact PCs, IPC systems, and builds using an M.2 SATA host socket

Included:

• Lycom DT-118 M.2 SATA to 7-pin SATA Converter

Product Q&A

Q: Will this work with an NVMe M.2 slot?

A: No. This adapter requires an M.2 slot that supports the SATA protocol. It will not work in NVMe/PCIe-only M.2 slots.

Q: What can I connect using the 7-pin SATA port?

A: You can connect SATA devices such as a 2.5" HDD, 2.5" SATA SSD, or a SATA optical drive (device support depends on your system).

Q: Do I need drivers or software?

A: No. It’s plug-and-play and does not require drivers.

Q: Does this provide power to the drive?

A: No. This adapter provides the SATA data connection only. Your SATA device will still need the correct power connection from your system or power supply.

Q: How do I know if my M.2 slot supports SATA?

A: Check your motherboard or system manual/specs for “M.2 SATA” or “SATA mode” support. If the slot is NVMe/PCIe-only, this adapter won’t work.
