M2 to 2.5 converter is about $10
If you can find a M.2 NVMe to 2.5 SATA converterer, can you share the link please? I have been looking for one for ages, but I could only find M.2 SATA to 2.5 SATA.
I just found this on AliExpress: C$11.26 | M2 SATA NVMe Key B/M NGFF SSD to PCI-e U2 SFF-8639 Conversion Adapter SSD Adapter PCIe M2 for PC Computer M.2 SSD to U.2 Adapter https://a.aliexpress.com/_mslgZFf
Thanks for the link, but although this looks like a 2.5 form factor, it says in the description that this is not compatible with a regular SATA port.
I'm not sure about that. I see NVMe to PCIe adaptors, but that wouldn't help in a laptop (or if you're PCIe constrained
I think the issue is that NVMe and SATA are too different (although there are NVMe to USB adapters on the market, so... ?!).
If they stop producing SATA drives, then there won't be any M.2 to 2.5 adapters to save the day, I'm afraid.
