This is an excellent product at a great price. It functions as expected, which is saying a lot when trying to mix old tech with new tech.

I use mine with an old Apple PowerBook (the year 2000 "Pismo" model). It originally came with an IDE/ATA 2.5-inch hard drive. I was already using a 32GB SDXC flash card (with a different adapter) instead of the hard drive. That worked well as a cost-effective replacement for this older type of laptop hard drive, but its performance was not noticeably better (or worse) compared to a mechanical hard drive. The main advantages were (lack of) heat, noise, and weight.

Using an mSATA SSD with this adapter has all of those advantages, AND performance IS noticeably better. Plus overall cost is even lower (per GB); I'm using a previously used 128GB mSATA card (Samsung branded) that I bought on eBay, which appear to be "pulls" from laptops that were upgraded to higher storage. Since my old PowerBook can only recognize up to 128GB internally, it's a "good fit." It cost be just over $40, or about $55 TOTAL cost including this adapter. A high-quality 128GB SDXC card (recently much cheaper) costs significantly more than that (without an adapter). OWC sells a "specialty" SSD with the 2.5-inch drive form-factor that has a built-in IDE/ATA connector (instead of SATA), but it costs more than twice as much for 120GB. Therefore, using an mSATA card (which is designed to be a laptop drive) with this adapter is a bargain.

I took one star off because of a minor design flaw. There is a component on the adapter's board that sticks up too far.

Allowed me to upgrade the slow IDE drive in my IBM laptop to a state of the art SSD. Boot times are faster than greased lightning and has extended the life of an otherwise good laptop! Thanks again!

This is working well in my Thinkpad T30. The laptop is now a bit snappier considering its age. I paired the adapter with a Transcend 64GB SATA III 6Gb/s MSA370 mSATA Solid State Drive (TS64GMSA370) and I did not have the problem described by other uses where you can't screw them down all the way because components on the boards press together, there was plenty of space in my combo.

The only downside is that it was a total PITA to install (see picture). My first attempt I eventually discovered the drive wasn't registering because it was misaligned and half the pins were hanging out in free space. The second attempt I dropped the board in and gently pushed it around with some tools until I could see the pins were aligned before slowly pushing it in. My first attempt the boards were against one wall of the laptop's hard drive slot when I thought it was plugged in, but when properly plugged in it is just free floating between both walls.

One of the boards chips protrudes too far so the mSata drives can't be screwed down and secured as they should be. An otherwise flawless product letdown by amateurish mistakes?
