Vszerda 2230 PCI-E 4.0 M.2 M-Key to Oculink SFF-8612 Vertical Adapter

SKU CH-47QJ-M0KYX

Converts a 2230 M-Key slot into an OCuLink SFF-8612 interface for NVMe SSDs or eGPUs at PCIe 4.0 speeds

  • Expands a 2230 M-Key slot with one OCuLink SFF-8612 interface
  • Carries PCI-E 4.0 signals using NVME protocol at up to 64 Gbps
  • Supports NVM Express 1.2 for NVME U.2 SSDs or eGPUs
  • Vertical angled connector fits where space around the port is limited
  • Provides 67-pin M.2 Key M male and SFF-8612 female connectors

Compact 2230 M.2 Adapter for OCuLink Expansion

This Vszerda adapter adds an SFF-8612 OCuLink port to a 2230 M.2 M-key slot. It suits owners of small-form-factor boards or handhelds who need to attach an NVME U.2 SSD or an external GPU. The vertical connector fits where horizontal clearance is tight. No cable is included.

Upgrade From Limited Internal Storage

The card replaces a missing native OCuLink header on systems that only expose a 2230 M.2 slot. The jump is worth it when you need full PCI Express 4.0 bandwidth for a fast drive or eGPU but have no larger M.2 or PCIe slot available. It does not help builders who already have a standard U.2 or OCuLink port on the motherboard.

PCI Express 4.0 Signal and NVMe 1.2 Limits

The adapter passes PCI Express 4.0 signals at up to 64 Gbps and supports NVM Express 1.2. Performance is bound by the host slot’s lane count and the cable quality used. It cannot exceed the electrical limits of the 67-pin M.2 interface or the SFF-8611/SFF-8612 specification. Power for the attached device must come from the host or an external source.

Questions about this item

Will the vertical OCuLink SFF-8612 connector fit in a tight 2230 M.2 M-key slot?

The angled vertical connector is designed to mate with the female port even when surrounding clearance is limited.

What is the correct orientation when inserting the 67-pin M.2 Key M male edge into the motherboard?

Align the key notch on the adapter with the slot key, press straight down until the edge seats fully, then secure the retention screw.

Does the SFF-8612 female port require any periodic cleaning or cable replacement?

The port itself is passive; only the optional OCuLink cable may need replacement if its latch or contacts wear out.
