Purpose-built laptop expansion

This Fervit adapter adds a single Oculink SFF-8612 port to 2022-2024 ThinkBook 16+ models equipped with the AMD 8845 processor. It routes PCI Express 4.0 x4 signals through the NVMe protocol so an external graphics card or SSD can be attached via an optional cable and power supply. The 14-inch variant and other laptops are not supported.

Straightforward internal fit

Installation uses the existing M.2 M-key slot inside the ThinkBook 16+ chassis; no soldering or firmware work is required. The adapter simply seats in the slot and presents the SFF-8612 connector for the external cable. Compatibility is limited to the listed 16+ AMD 8845 machines, so buyers with different models will find the card non-functional.

One x4 lane for GPU or storage

The link delivers a single PCIe 4.0 x4 connection, enough bandwidth for one external graphics card or one NVMe SSD at full protocol speed. Adding a second device or expecting higher lane counts is not possible because the host slot only exposes four lanes. External power must be supplied separately for whichever device is connected.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the adapter is transmitting PCI-E 4.0 x4 NVMe signals after installing it in my 2024 ThinkBook 16+ AMD8845?
