I got a Turris Omnia Router, which I want to use as a NAS.

I also really like SATA SSDs, they are abundant (I have too many), never overheat (take that, NVME crap) etc.

The router is pretty tight, a SATA SSD fits in, but I need a cable to have the adapter 90° and a bit upwards.

Now I wonder, what adapter do I need? On AliExpress I find one with 1 or 2 SATA connections, 1 is probably best for sanity and reliability.

This one looks more sketchy, as it has 2 SATA sockets.

    So it looks like the omnia supporta msata (mini sata) on one of the B-key M.2 slots. Just get an msata to sata adapter (which is an electrical adapter) and not an epcie to sata adapter (which requires an adapting IC/controller). It will be cheaper and more reliable. Both will require some power supply though.

      Interesting, thanks!

      Could you elaborate on the power supply? I found such an adapter:

      With a small 7-pin SATA cable, do SSDs need additional power?

      The power supply is a typical laptop barrel jack with converter, so powering the SSD wouldnt be a good option
