This item says "The adapter only work for B-key or B/M-key socket, cannot work for M-key socket," does this mean the adapter does not transfer any PCIe lanes to the Mini-PCIe slot? Is this ONLY for mSATA hard drives? mPCIe cards only need one PCIe lane, this card mentions "2 lane" in the title...

Accepted Answer

The adapter is specifically designed to work with mSATA hard drives and not with mPCIe cards. It connects the mSATA SSD signal to the M.2 NGFF 67pin Signal port and is not intended to transfer any PCIe lanes to the Mini-PCIe slot. The note clearly states that it only works with B-key or B/M-key sockets and cannot work with M-key sockets.
