I inadvertently purchased the wrong type of SSD for my MoBo. It does have a fancy M.2 slot, but all M.2 compatible SSD's seem way expensive.

The SSD I bought was of the mSATA type, so I picked up an mSATA to SATA adapter.

My question is: Will the adapter cause any noticeable speed differences?

No the adapter should not hurt performance at all because it is not actually a bridge just a passive adapter.

They have a regulator because not all sata power cables have 3.3 volts and I think that is what msata drives use(5 is used on normal 2.5 inch SSD's).
