Animal Essentials

Animal Essentials U.2 SFF-8639 to M.2 Adapter 50CM

SKU CH-G7JF-WM7HA

Connects 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSDs to an M.2 host slot with 50 cm shielded cable and SATA power

  • Connects 2.5″ NVMe U.2 drives to M.2 host slots
  • 50 cm cable length for flexible drive mounting
  • Shielded design supports reference clock integrity
  • Delivers 12 V power via external SATA connector
  • Compatible with Intel P3500/P3600/P3700 and Samsung XS1715

Connect U.2 NVMe drives to M.2 slots

This adapter connects a 2.5-inch NVMe SSD with a U.2 SFF-8639 interface to a desktop, server or workstation via the motherboard's M.2 slot. It carries both data and power to the drive. An external SATA power connector from a PSU is required to supply the 12V source that many U.2 drives need. The 50CM cable length allows flexible mounting in drive bays.

Replaces direct backplane or riser installations

The adapter upgrades systems that lack native U.2 ports but have an available M.2 slot. It is worth the jump when you need to install enterprise drives such as the Intel DC P3500, P3600 or P3700, Samsung XS1715, OCZ Z-drive 6000 or HGST Ultrastar SN100 without a dedicated backplane. Builders who need hot-swap bays or multiple drive support should look elsewhere.

Sustained operation with shielded signalling

The cable is shielded to support the reference clock, helping maintain signal integrity during extended transfers. The development team draws on 15 years of server and storage design experience, focusing on PCB layout, materials and heat management. Rigorous testing aims to ensure stability under continuous load rather than only in short bursts.

Questions about this item

What size drive bay does the 18 cm cable allow the 2.5-inch U.2 SSD to be mounted in?

The 18 cm length gives enough slack to reach standard 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch bays in most desktop, server or workstation chassis.

How do I connect the external 12 V SATA power connector that the adapter requires?

Plug a spare SATA power lead from the PSU into the adapter's power cable before inserting the M.2 end into the motherboard slot.

When should I replace the shielded cable to keep the reference clock stable?

Replace it if the shielding is kinked, the connectors feel loose, or the drive drops from the BIOS during heavy I/O.
