  • Compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, 2000 and Linux systems

M.2 Key M to PCIe 3.0 x16 Adapter

This adapter connects an M.2 Key M NVMe drive to a full-size PCIe 3.0 x16 slot using a 180-degree extension cable. It is designed for builders who need to install an M.2 drive on a motherboard that lacks an onboard M.2 Key M slot but has a free PCIe x16 slot available.

180-Degree Cable and M.2 Length Support

The flexible cable routes the M.2 drive away from the slot at a 180-degree angle, helping clearance in tight chassis layouts. The M.2 connector accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form-factor drives, so various drive lengths can be mounted without interfering with adjacent expansion cards or motherboard components.

PCIe 3.0 x16 Electrical Limits

The link operates at PCIe 3.0 speeds and is electrically wired for x16 mechanical slots, though the M.2 Key M drive itself typically uses up to four lanes. Bandwidth is therefore limited by the drive's own lane count and the PCIe 3.0 standard, not the x16 slot width. The host system must provide an M.2 Key M slot on the mainboard for the adapter to function.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation and lane width does the M.2 Key M to PCIe 3.0 x16 extension cable cap the connection at?

The cable carries a PCIe 3.0 x16 link, so the host slot and the add-in card negotiate up to Gen 3 across sixteen lanes; the M.2 Key M source on the motherboard will typically provide fewer lanes, and the cable simply passes through whatever the platform allocates.

What physical clearance does the 180° PCIe x16 connector need to fit inside a case?

The right-angle connector adds roughly 180 mm of cable length before the bend, so allow at least that much depth from the motherboard M.2 slot to the side panel or drive cage, plus the height of the installed expansion card.

How do you install the Fervit M.2 Key M to PCIe 3.0 x16 extension cable, and which step is most often missed?

Insert the M.2 Key M plug into the motherboard slot at the correct angle, secure it with the retention screw, then seat the x16 card into the 180° connector; the step people forget is fastening the M.2 screw before powering on, which prevents the plug from lifting under cable tension.
