SKU CH-VF6Y-WJYEP

Adds M.2 NVMe storage via a PCIe x1 slot, supporting 2230, 2240, 2260 and 2280 SSDs with a mounting bracket

  • Adds NVMe storage via any PCIe x1 slot
  • Fits M.2 2230, 2240, 2260 and 2280 drives
  • Standard bracket secures card inside chassis
  • High-speed PCIe signal for boot and data
  • Plug-and-play with Windows and Linux

SMUGDESK NVMe M.2 PCIe x1 Adapter

The SMUGDESK adapter converts an M.2 NVMe SSD to a standard PCIe x1 slot on desktop motherboards. It accepts 2230, 2240, 2260 and 2280 form factors for flexible drive selection. The card works with PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots on mainstream PCs. It enables NVMe storage upgrades on systems lacking native M.2 connectors.

Included Mounting Bracket for Secure Installation

A standard bracket is supplied to fix the adapter firmly inside the chassis. This prevents movement that could damage the M.2 connector or interrupt the PCIe signal. The bracket allows a tidy, permanent fit in typical desktop cases. No additional mounting hardware is required for standard installations.

High-Speed PCIe Signal for Boot and Storage

The adapter delivers high-speed PCIe transmission suitable for operating system booting and general data storage. It handles 22302280 length drives within the x1 electrical interface. Bandwidth is limited to a single PCIe lane, so throughput caps below native x4 NVMe performance. Demanding workloads needing maximum NVMe speed will saturate the link.

Questions about this item

Does the 22302280 M.2 slot require any periodic maintenance or component replacement after installation?

The adapter has no moving parts or serviceable components, so no scheduled maintenance or replacement is needed once the NVMe SSD is secured.

What becomes the bottleneck during sustained data transfers on this PCIe x1 adapter?

The PCIe x1 interface caps throughput to a single lane, so that link is the first limit reached under continuous heavy I/O.

How much extra heat or noise does the card add when the system runs all day?

The passive PCB adds negligible heat and no noise, leaving the installed NVMe SSD as the only thermal source to manage.
