M.2 M-key NVME to PCIe adapter

This adapter connects M-key NVME SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 lengths to a PCIe 3.0 slot at x16, x8 or x4. It is designed for system builders who need to add fast storage to a platform with a spare PCIe lane. It does not support B-key or B/M-key SATA SSDs.

Low-profile 3 cm bracket for 1U servers

The card uses a 3 cm tall bracket that fits 1U server chassis and draws 12 V at 3 A or 5 V at 4.5 A directly from the PCIe slot. No external power cable is required, so cable routing stays simple inside dense enclosures.

Requires Z97 motherboard and Windows 10 or later

The adapter is transparent to the operating system and needs no driver, but the supplier states a Z97 chipset and Windows 10 as minimum requirements. Builders on older chipsets or earlier Windows versions cannot use this card.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot limit the NVMe drive to x4 speeds?

The adapter connects an M-key NVMe SSD through a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot that also accepts x8 or x4, so the drive runs at its native x4 lane width.

Will the 3 cm low-profile bracket fit my 1U server chassis?

Yes, the bracket height is 3 cm and supports M.2 lengths of 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110, matching 80 mm and 110 mm drives in a 1U server.

Do I need to install a driver for the adapter to work?

No driver is required; the adapter is transparent to the operating system provided the motherboard is Z97 or newer and Windows 10 or later is installed.
