After boot, confirm that the operating system recognises the installed drive and perform any required partitioning or formatting.

Recommendations

Use compatible M.2 SATA (Key B) or mSATA SSDs with this adapter; do not attempt to connect NVMe (PCIe) M.2 drives as they use a different protocol. Ensure secure mounting and proper SATA power and data connections to avoid data loss. For optimal performance, connect to a SATA III (6 Gbps) host port.
