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

It was a little more work than I expected to get it installed., but worth it for the cost savings. Its very well made.

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.

Wish it was black!

Works perfect for my Ninja V

Converted one of my Samsung T7s with ease. Would buy again.

This case looks fantastic on my Atomos Ninja V. Very well made. Now that the included screwdriver was too small for the Samsung SSD bolts, I had to go and purchase a kit to get the thing assembled.

This may be a case of cart before horse, found this mSATA case which provides much needed cooling for a USB-C attached mSATA card that we use constantly for migrating video files and for backups. This Andycine Lunchbox case is just what I wanted. Much better made than the USB-C attach mSATA/NVMe adapters we were using, and actually seemed to keep the mSATA chip cooler. After running using this Lunchbox for a couple of weeks, we got the matching USB-C to SATA Andycine adapter and found it increased my write speeds onto the mSATA sitting inside this Andycine Lunchbox. Now we were looking around for a small monitor to use both during remote video post-production and with our Canon DSLR. So, went and got the matching Atomos Ninja V that the lunchbox is designed to fit. So we went from getting this Andycine Red Lunchbox to test with mSATA to USB-C adapter, to getting the Andycine USB-C adapter for fast reads and writes, to getting another Andycine Black Lunchbox and the Atomos Ninja V monitor! Having the these accessories led to getting the more expensive product!

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.

Picked this up for an mSATA drive I had laying around. I also have the ANDYCINE Lunchbox SATA to USB-C adaptor which is the same aesthetic as this. They look great together. All my testing was done with the mSATA to SATA adaptor plugged into the SATA to USB-C adaptor I mentioned. I was getting just below SATA III speeds which is exactly what I was expecting. The build quality is great. Machined aluminum and pretty sure its powder coated. Customer support was great. My first one arrived without the circuit board, just the case halves, screws, thermal pads, and cleaning cloth. A message and a picture to the seller and they sent out another one right away.

All right, this is pretty much a no-brainer buy a couple Samsung T5 preferably 2 TB mechanism that’s inside this, Andycine adapter. You do that and the ninja v will take care Samsung T5 so if they drives no problem, it will also make it easier to put the SSD into your computer and it works perfectly fine it for the price you can’t be the Samsung t5 the price do extremely cheap like 100 bucks. Is it no-brainer to get very green so it stays rise for your interview? The installation process is easy I have to do is have a little small screwdriver. Takes you about 15 minutes. How does it work perfectly the T fives are great Thursday drives that are used for the black magic cinema pocket camera pro all the time. It’s a proven solid-state drive in the sata to Sata adapter is also proven.
