M.2 M Key Docking Station

The Vszerda EXP GDC Beast connects a laptop to an external PCI-E device through an M.2 M Key slot. It includes a 26-pin mini PCI-E cable and a 6-pin or 8-pin power cable for the graphics card. Industrial users can add GPU compute or data-acquisition cards, while gamers can attach a discrete GPU for higher frame rates.

Builders with an M.2 M Key slot

This unit suits owners whose laptop exposes an M.2 M Key interface and who can supply auxiliary power to the dock and the graphics card. Buyers whose machine only offers an M.2 A Key, mini PCI-E or ExpressCard 34/54 connection cannot use this model. Users unwilling to provide an external power source should also look elsewhere.

M.2 M Key interface requirement

The single specification that decides compatibility is the M.2 M Key slot on the host laptop. The dock ships with a 26-pin cable and 6-pin or 8-pin power connectors, but it will not function unless the system provides an M.2 M Key connection. Verify the slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the M.2 M Key dock is working after connecting the 26-pin cable and power?

The laptop should detect the external PCIe device in Device Manager and the graphics card fan should spin when powered.

What cables come in the box and what must I supply for the 6-pin and 8-pin connections?

The package includes the ExpressCard data cable and a combined 6-pin/8-pin power cable; you must provide a suitable PSU for the graphics card and the dock.

Which ExpressCard slot type — 34 or 54 — matches my laptop for this M.2 M Key version?

The enhanced MINI PCI-E cable supports both Type 34 and Type 54 ExpressCard interfaces, so either slot works.
