Triple-drive PCIe adapter
The Ruth's sister SK16 is a PCIe 3.0 x16 card that converts one slot into three drive connections. It accepts an NVMe M-key SSD, an AHCI B-key NGFF SSD, and an mSATA SSD at the same time. Power is supplied through dual 2 V and 3.3 V rails with an onboard tantalum capacitor and a status LED. The card targets builders who want to add multiple legacy and modern SSDs without occupying extra motherboard slots.
Suits multi-SSD upgrades.
This adapter fits enthusiasts consolidating NVMe, NGFF and mSATA drives into a single x16 slot, or repurposing spare SSDs on boards lacking dedicated M.2 sockets. It is not for users who only need one NVMe drive, because a direct M.2 slot or a single-drive riser will be simpler and cheaper. Systems without a free PCIe x16 slot cannot use the card at all.
PCIe 3.0 x16 slot required
The card plugs into a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and exposes three input interfaces plus two 7-pin SATA power outputs. If the motherboard lacks a full-size x16 slot, or if the slot is wired for fewer lanes, the adapter will not fit or will not function. Verify the slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item
What PCIe standard does the SK16 adapter use and what bandwidth does it cap at?
The SK16 uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, limiting throughput to the Gen 3.0 x4 lane rate.
What physical slot and clearance does the SK16 require to mount?
It plugs into a PCIe x16 slot and adds two 7-pin SATA power connectors, so allow space for the card plus the power cables.
How is the SK16 installed and which step is often missed?
Insert the card into a PCIe x16 slot, attach both SATA power cables, then secure the M.2 and mSATA drives with their mounting screws — the screw step is frequently skipped.
