mPCIe to SATA cable? (slrpnk.net)

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.

And tbh, the CPU is 32bit which sucks I guess, I am also not sure about security disadvantages. The GrapheneOS people know way more here. Also nothing about how well Marvell really patches these old CPUs.

But SATA SSDs just beat NVMEs. I hate NVMEs. Never needed that speed, they just overheat all the time and require too much passive cooling, I destroyed an NVME because the cooling pad and the laptop bottom bent it.

I was able to cancel a miniPCIe-SATA adapter buy on Aliexpress and got an electrical mSATA-SATA adapter instead, way simpler and probably faster.

Just need to find out if power is needed and from where to get it.
