msata to sata adapters Anonymous 2015-12-25 00:08:56 Post No. 919723 [Report]
Dear /diy/,
How are you this Christmas eve? I'm wanting to make my own converter on my own pcb, but am a little confused as to what is on EVERY SINGLE CONVERTER. The little black box and what might be resistors? Why isn't it just direct wired to the different port? both ports use the exact same voltages, so why the extra hardware?

Love, ducky

p.s.
upon further thought, maybe it's a voltage regulator? to step-down/step-up the voltages to match?

You could just buy one and reverse engineer it yourself.

Yes it's a regulator. Search 'Sata adaptor voltage regulator' into Google and it says so on the first link.

Why is it there? That's what Google's for.

OP, some things are more expensive and too much of a pain in the ass to make yourself. The connectors you need to use for this are all surface mount, so you need a PCB to mount them on, so by the time you bought the parts, designed and had the PCB fabbed, and put it together, you could have bought 10 of the things online ready-made. Don't sit there and tell me 'I want the experience of building it' or 'I'm doing it for fun', because there are much more fun and rewarding things you could build than something as boring as an adapter PCB. Just buy a decent one and move on.

that's a voltage regulator and two capacitors.
