PCIe Gen4 NVMe Adapter for Enterprise SSDs
This adapter connects an M.2 NVMe solid-state drive to a Gen-Z 1C interface using a PCIe Gen4 golden finger. It is built for engineers integrating enterprise and datacenter 1U short-form-factor storage into compatible backplanes.
Sustained Load Behaviour and Protection
A PWM synchronous buck converter delivers up to 4A continuous current with short-circuit protection, inrush-current suppression and thermal shutdown. The design supports CLKREQ# and includes level-shifted, isolated SMBus repeaters for stable signalling during extended transfers.
Build Quality and Connector Implications
The four-layer PCB carries a built-in Gen-Z 1C connector pinned to SFF-9402 Rev 1.3 and a 64KB SMBus EEPROM. Three status LEDs show drive activity, power readiness and connector presence, simplifying rack-level diagnostics.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power does the onboard PWM buck converter handle during continuous all-day operation?
The built-in PWM synchronous buck converter supplies up to 4A maximum output current with short-circuit protection, in-rush current suppression and thermal shutdown protection for the M.2 NVMe SSD.
What host-side connector and slot must already exist in the system for this adapter to function?
A Gen-Z 1C connector with pin-out defined by SFF-9402 Rev 1.3 is required on the host side to accept the adapter's golden finger interface.
Will the adapter work with an existing M.2 NVMe SSD that follows the PCIe M.2 Specification Revision 3.0 Version 1.2?
Yes, the adapter complies with PCIe M.2 Specification Revision 3.0 Version 1.2 and supports CLKREQ# for compatibility with such drives.
