ANDYCINE Lunchbox mSATA to SATA Adapter DIY Magnalium Case for mSATA SSD T5 1TB/2TB Compatible for Atomos Ninja V,Ninja V+,Ninja Flame,Ninja Inferno,and Shogun Inferno

I took a dogfish 500gb msata and stuck it into one of these guys. It worked perfectly. Followed the installation instructions but was sparing on the silicone in some parts to address the thickness issues that other people had mentions. I plan on pairing this with the USB C adapter to use along with my other lunchbox that I put my 860 into. If you have an old T5 lying around this is a cool way to recase it (though youll need the USB C adapter to use it)

Though I was unable to utilize the SSD in the way that I wanted externally recording from my a7s3 directly. I will be purchasing an Atamos in the future so I’m keeping the product anyway simply Because the build quality is phenomenal! I love the color, The diy part is very simple! A+ Andyceni!!!

The casing is thick aluminium having the CNC look. It also act as a heat sink. The package comes with 3 thermal pads. It does get very warm when I did 64GB transfer test; it took 24 minutes. Theres cosmetic inconsistency in the finish of the AndyCine mSATA-SATA and the USBC-SATA. When both at connected, the inconsistency is more pronounced. The front red and silver back of both units does not match. Its not a show stopper. The cost is 3 times of regular mSATA to SATA adapter, but built much better.

Had no problems installing my mSATA drive into this. The kit comes with a cloth to wipe it down, not really sure what thats about. Other than that, it comes with 5 screws for the outside shell and 2 for the mSATA drive. This was actually a lot smaller than I was expecting, kind of a half sized SSD. It has an open end for what I am assuming is to thread a lanyard maybe, but one is not provided.. OK, you get a useless cloth for wiping down ??? and no lanyard for an item that can clearly use one? OOOHHHH KKKKAAAYYY.. Minor complaints aside, I tested this with my mSATA in CrystalDiskMark and scored a 270 on the read and a 234 on the write. This is about half the speed of a normal SSD, but then, this IS an mSATA drive, so those numbers were (Im guessing) right on par where they should be. I do like this unit though, and I like that its smaller than I expected. Makes it really portable. The casing is all metal so its super strong. Minor complaints aside, Ill go ahead and give this a 5 star. Nice product, thank you for letting me review it.
