About the M2sata PCB
M2sata is an open source PCB design by richardg867, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 22 mm, with 5 components from 2 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the IN. By type, the board carries 4 connectors and 1 IC.
From the project
M.2 SATA Port Reclaimer
This M.2 2280 M-key card allows you to reclaim SATA ports that your motherboard may have as part of the chipset, but are not broken out to SATA connectors since the chipset shares their pins with the M.2 slot's PCI Express lanes.
Each SATA port is connected to a data lane of the M.2 card, although not all motherboards and M.2 slots support more than one SATA port (lane 0); if you just want one port, this adapter can work, but there are off-the-shelf ones that will also do the job. Read on for compatibility information.
