PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe Adapter
This adapter converts an M-key NVMe M.2 solid-state drive to a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface for desktop motherboards. It supports 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors and includes an aluminum heatsink for thermal management. The plug-and-play design requires no extra drivers for most mainstream systems.
Desktop storage expanders and DIY builders
It suits users adding high-speed NVMe storage to a desktop PC with an available PCIe slot. It is not suited for laptops or systems lacking a free PCIe expansion slot. Builders needing to install multiple drives from a single card should look at a different solution.
PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with heatsink
The single specification that decides compatibility is the PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface combined with M-key NVMe support. The board delivers full PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth to retain the drive's original read and write speeds. The included aluminum heatsink prevents thermal throttling during high-load operation.

Questions about this item
What length M.2 NVMe drives does the adapter support?
The adapter supports M Key NVMe M.2 SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths.
How is the adapter installed in a desktop PC?
Insert the card into a free PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, secure the M.2 NVMe SSD with the onboard screw, then attach the aluminum heatsink using the supplied thermal pads and screws.
Does the aluminum heatsink require any maintenance over time?
The passive heatsink has no moving parts; simply clean dust from its fins occasionally to maintain thermal performance.
