Green low-profile PCIe card with M.2 M-key slot

Fervit

Fervit Low Profile PCIe 3.0 x1 to M.2 M-Key NVMe Adapter

SKU CH-5H7K-448SF

Adds an M-key NVMe slot to a PCIe 3.0 x1 lane on Z97 or later motherboards running Windows 10 or later

  • Adds fast NVMe storage via a single PCIe 3.0 x1 lane
  • Low-profile bracket fits compact or slimline PC cases
  • Works with M-key NVMe SSDs only, not B-key drives
  • Requires motherboard with Z97 chipset or newer
  • Supports Windows 10 and later operating systems

Fervit Low Profile M-Key NVMe Adapter

This Fervit adapter lets you install an M-key NVMe solid-state drive into a single PCI Express 3.0 x1 slot on motherboards from the Z97 platform onward. It is built for users who need to add fast storage without occupying a full-length expansion slot and who run Windows 10 or a newer operating system.

Passive low-profile thermal design

The card uses a passive low-profile bracket so it fits in compact chassis and draws power only from the PCIe slot itself. No fan or external power connector is present, so the adapter adds no audible noise and its power draw stays within the limits of a single x1 lane under normal operation.

M-key only compatibility constraint

The bundled hardware includes the adapter board and low-profile bracket; no driver disc or management software is supplied because Windows 10 and later recognise the NVMe drive natively. The M-key restriction means the card cannot accept B-key or B/M-key modules, so buyers with those drive types must choose a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Fervit low-profile PCIe 3.0 x1 adapter into a Z97 motherboard?

Insert the card into an open PCIe x1 slot, secure the low-profile bracket, then mount an M-key NVMe drive onto the M.2 connector and fasten its screw.

What maintenance will the M.2 NVMe drive on this adapter need later?

The drive itself requires no scheduled maintenance; keep system airflow clear and monitor SMART health via Windows 10 tools.

What performance limit appears first when the adapter runs sustained workloads?

The single PCIe 3.0 x1 lane caps throughput at roughly one gigabyte per second, so heavy sequential transfers hit that bottleneck first.
