PENGQIAO Dual M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card

SKU CH-F12S-T6VBV

Adds two M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs up to 110 mm via a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, includes a low-profile bracket for 2U cases

  • TypePCI Express to M.2 Card
  • Dual M.2 slots add two SSDs to one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot
  • Supports NVMe M-key and SATA B-key drives in 2230 2242 2260 2280 22110 lengths
  • Low-profile bracket included fits 2U server chassis
  • PCIe x4 x8 x16 compatible with anti-deformation baffle
  • PCB cooling holes and quality capacitors improve thermal stability

Dual M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card

The PENGQIAO add-in card provides two M.2 slots that accept both NVMe and SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 lengths. It plugs into any PCI Express x4, x8 or x16 slot on a desktop motherboard.

Build quality and daily use

A low-profile bracket is included for 2U chassis installations and the PCB features cooling holes plus an anti-deformation baffle. SATA-based M.2 drives require a separate SATA cable to the motherboard, which is not supplied.

Upgrade path and when it matters

The card adds two high-speed M.2 drives to systems that lack native slots or need more fast storage than the board provides. It is not suited for builders who need more than two M.2 devices or who require PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 bandwidth.

Highlights

  • Dual M.2 slots add two SSDs to one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot
  • Supports NVMe M-key and SATA B-key drives in 2230 2242 2260 2280 22110 lengths
  • Low-profile bracket included fits 2U server chassis
  • PCIe x4 x8 x16 compatible with anti-deformation baffle
  • PCB cooling holes and quality capacitors improve thermal stability

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation and lane width does this card use, and what throughput does that limit each M.2 slot to?

The card runs on a PCIe 3.0 x4 host link, so the two M.2 slots share a maximum of 4 GB/s total bandwidth.

Which M.2 lengths and key types fit on the board, and what extra hardware is needed for SATA drives?

It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 modules in both M-key and B-key; B-key SATA SSDs require a separate SATA data cable to the motherboard.

How is the card installed in a 2U chassis, and what step do builders often miss with B-key SSDs?

Fit the supplied low-profile bracket, seat the card in any PCIe x4/x8/x16 slot, secure the SSD with the onboard standoffs, and remember to run a SATA cable from the card to the motherboard for every B-key drive.
