Anyone know where can buy this converter sata for this Sandisk SSD A400 ?

It's a standard M.2 form factor and according to the specs from Sandisk uses regular old SATA III lanes. So an adapter such as this should work fine: http://www.microsatacables.com/m2-sata- ... f-s3-pcbrk
Actually, I take that back. I was mistakenly looking at the X400 specs, not the A400. That one I think is PCIe only and doesn't have SATA lanes at all. So you'll need an adapter such as this to read it: http://www.microsatacables.com/dual-por ... 2-933-dlx4
Usually best to put the card in, boot to linux, then image using dd or ddrescue.

Yes before i want to find converter to sata then plug to my SSD SATA port on PC-3000
But if only have pcie converter for this patient then boot on Linux Ubuntu ---> make image using dd or ddrescue. i think it is the best way for this patient drive A400 Sandisk.
Thanks alot

As far as I know there is no universal way to adapt from PCIe to SATA or USB. There is a USB adapter for some of the later PCIe SSDs from Macbooks as well as this project here where they are developing a USB to PCIe bridge: http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/USB3380EVB.html
I've yet to try it out to see if it can work for SSDs. I don't think there's even any drivers for it yet, so probably not.
