M.2 Key M PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter with Heatsink

This adapter connects a standard PCIe-bus M.2 Key M NVMe SSD to a desktop or laptop PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot. It operates transparently to the operating system and requires no software drivers. The black board includes a heatsink and thermal pads for thermal management.

Builders adding NVMe storage via a PCIe slot

It suits users who have an M.2 Key M module in 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factor and a free PCIe x4 slot. The package supplies both low-profile and high-profile brackets for different chassis types. It does not accept B-key or B+M-key modules, so owners of those card types must use a different solution.

Key M PCIe-based module support

The adapter only supports M.2 Socket 3 PCIe-based SSD modules conforming to the M.2 Specification Revision 1.0. Compatible lengths are 2242, 2260 and 2280. It runs at PCIe Gen3 x4 speeds and works across Windows, Mac and Linux within an industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 ºC.
