PCIe 3.0 X4 to M.2 NVMe Adapter

The SMUGDESK PH41 adds an M.2 MKey slot to any desktop or server with a free PCIe 3.0 X4 lane. It accepts NVMe drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths and delivers up to 32Gbps throughput for fast storage expansion.

Halfheight bracket for slim systems

The lowprofile bracket fits miniPCs, compact workstations and small servers where a fullheight card cannot be installed. It upgrades motherboards that lack an onboard M.2 slot or need a second NVMe drive without occupying a larger expansion slot.

Plugandplay installation

No driver is required; the adapter works immediately in PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slots. Ensure the SSD key matches the MKey connector and that the motherboard BIOS supports booting from an addin NVMe device.

Questions about this item

What bracket size and PCIe slot width does the PH41 need to fit?

The PH41 uses a halfheight lowprofile bracket and fits PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slots on desktop or server motherboards.

How is the M.2 NVMe SSD secured on the PH41 and what step is often missed?

Insert the SSD at an angle into the MKey slot, press it flat, then fasten the retention screw — skipping the screw lets the drive lift and lose contact.

Which M.2 lengths does the PH41 support and when might the bracket need changing?

It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 NVMe drives; swap the halfheight bracket for a fullheight one only if the chassis requires a standard bracket.
