Accessory What do you think this length is?

[Sean Crees]

It's a SATA to M.2 adapter. I'm 99% sure it's the same 76.6mm distance as the mounting holes on the bottom of 2.5" SSD's. But i'm not 100% sure, so i thought i'd ask you guys.

What do you think this length is?

Well, you have 30mm, 42mm, 60mm, & 80mm markings right below, so...

I'm a bad judge of length, but I'd say about eight inches

Uh huh, that's a great deduction ability you have there. I already knew it was close to 80mm, the problem is is if i'm even half a mm off it doesn't mount in the holes i'm making. Which is the whole point of the question.

Which is why I noted the markings, they provide a perfect scale to measure the hole spacing you are looking at...

And if it is such a critical measurement, I would suggest not drilling holes until you have the actual physical part to reference...

I'm a simple man but ... If no manual is available I'd just say "buy it and measure ?"

Especially if it's a generic product. You could well receive something that is slightly different than the one on the picture.

but you better follow this, especially as the pic you posted is not so high res:

I did use a higher resolution pic of a similar adapter which I suppose to be the same thing.
Guess what?
I came to the same 76.2mm.
