So basically this product is aimed at someone who bought a M.2 SATA/AHCI drive and screwed up with the motherboard, taking one that only accepts NVMe or one that doesn't have an M.2 slot at all. Because otherwise if you want a Sata SSD connected to a Sata port on the MB you would juste buy a Sata one in the first place ... I mean they are even a little bit cheaper. Or it could be that you just got an M.2 Sata SSD from someone or another build but don't have the hardware to use it, like the So-DIMM to regular-DIMM Ram adapters. But even that was more interesting ! Still, it's nice to know if we're ever in need of such a thing, it actually exists and can be ordered on aliexpress.

@BloodSprite-tan 5 жыл бұрын

yes but they make pci-e adaptor cards, so you don't have to deal with the stupid cables. so ??? what's the point, you'll never need something like this. even if you did, like on a itx case, there isn't a place for it, given 2 memory slots. it's a really bad idea.

@GervasitorSpaceman67 5 жыл бұрын

@@BloodSprite-tan I think most PCIe adaptors would be for NVMe drives, but there sure will be some for sata ones. But even though it can be useful for someone somewhere someday, it's not stupid as it works the way it's intended to. If you don't need it just don't buy it, I never said everyone should have one just in case, I said if you're ever in need of something like that it's reassuring to know that it exists.

I'm just saying that it's nice to see it exists, because if you need a M.2 AHCI to regular SATA adapter and don't want to use another expansion slot, you can. you might not even use it in a ram slot, after all it's just a solution they found so that it would actually be attached to your computer. And I can see that it can be misleading to some people, but hey, if you see some weird shit on aliexpress, just send the link to Linus Tech Tips before buying it, and if they run out of topics to cover they will be glad that you found it !

The manufacturer should have at least provided a "bypass" allowing a real ram to be installed above the product and have it pass thru right to the DDR4 pins on the motherboard, that way, it would have made sense to keep that adapter securely in place within the DDR4 serving as an anchor. As it is, I would much rather tape it to the side of the case inside.

Just create an image of your most used basically read only applications and have them set to save any new files to another drive, upon bootup have the hdd emulation software transfer that image to your RAM, invest the time first and then you get very high speeds for as long as your computer is on.

I aint got that kind of time. I mean I've probably only got 40 years left. No way I'd ever get finished clipping them all, much less editing them together.

DDR adapters to hdd have existed for at least 12 years, back in the eaaaarly ddr3 days. And if they never took off from the hardcore oc crew, that tells a lot of its reliability. As a rule of thumb, if a hardcore known computer news forum fanbase don't take a standard, you shouldn't. It's better to wait.

This thing is lost time upgrade. It uses the memory slot only for the purpose to stabilise the adapter and has not support NVME drives so it's useless! But i 'm very glad for your full sufficient explanation!!

Oh, I read the title of the video the other way around, like the several-years-ago video about turning memory into an SSD.

This would be funnier if you could spell properly. Come on, you don't even have to be good at English, just copy the meme format! It's "at home" not "on house".

HDMI to VGA is not a full conversion. They still both use VESA MultiSync scanline system so it's just a fancy DAC. USB to Ethernet or USB to Parallel adapters would be better examples.

oh great! I always wanted a SATA to SATA adapter that takes up room in my DIMM slot :)

I can see an idea for this thing concerning an "ITX in a micro case" build. Especially if the board has 4 DIMM slots, and you are only going to use 2 of them for RAM.

You could have just said "it uses DDR4 as a form factor, not electrically" and saved me 10 minutes. It's not like this is the first product to use memory sticks as a form factor, the new version of the PINE64 (SOPINE) uses a DDR3 stick as the form factor for its main board.

Only useful for older motherboards that don't have M.2 slots but have extra RAMs slots. Just allows you to mount them properly. You can do the same thing with an extra PCIe or HDD drive slot.
