If you can find a M.2 NVMe to 2.5 SATA converterer, can you share the link please? I have been looking for one for ages, but I could only find M.2 SATA to 2.5 SATA.

Thanks for the link, but although this looks like a 2.5 form factor, it says in the description that this is not compatible with a regular SATA port.

I'm not sure about that. I see NVMe to PCIe adaptors, but that wouldn't help in a laptop (or if you're PCIe constrained

I think the issue is that NVMe and SATA are too different (although there are NVMe to USB adapters on the market, so... ?!).

If they stop producing SATA drives, then there won't be any M.2 to 2.5 adapters to save the day, I'm afraid.
