M.2 A+E Key to NVMe M-Key Adapter

This adapter connects a PCIe NVMe M-key SSD to a motherboard M.2 A+E key slot. It supports PCIe 4.0 and NVMe data transfer rates up to 64Gbps. The card accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 length drives. The package includes a riser card, bracket, screwdriver and two screws for installation.

Upgrades from WiFi or Capture Slots

It repurposes an unused A+E key slot — typically used for WiFi or capture cards — into a high-speed NVMe storage port. The jump is worth it when you need an extra NVMe drive but lack a native M-key slot. It does not support SATA B+M-key, PCIe AHCI, mSATA, WiFi cards, capture cards or non-M.2 SSDs.

Build Integration

The riser card plugs directly into the motherboard A+E key slot and extends the NVMe drive away from the board. A bracket secures the assembly to a case expansion slot. Windows 8, 10 and 11 are supported. No SSD is included, so you must supply a compatible PCIe NVMe M-key drive separately.
