  • 50 cm right-exit cable built for durable reliability

PCIe 5.0 M.2 to U.2 Adapter

This adapter connects a U.2 NVMe SSD to an M.2 2280 M key slot on a motherboard. It targets builders who want to use enterprise or high-capacity U.2 drives in a desktop or server without a native U.2 port. The cable includes a 15-pin SATA power connector that must be attached for the drive to operate. No drivers or software are required for installation.

Capacity and Headroom

The link supports PCIe 5.0 with a theoretical data rate of 128 Gbps, so it will not bottleneck current U.2 NVMe SSDs. It is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0 drives, allowing older U.2 SSDs to function at their rated speeds. The 50 cm length suits typical chassis routing but may be short for full-tower builds where the M.2 slot is far from the drive bay.

Right Exit Connector Orientation

The M.2 plug exits to the right, which determines how the cable sits against the motherboard and adjacent components. Builders must verify that this orientation clears nearby heatsinks, voltage-regulator modules or other cables in their specific board layout. If the right exit points toward an obstruction, the adapter will not fit without modification.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 5.0 M.2 to U.2 adapter run at full speed if my motherboard only has a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot?

The adapter is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0, so it will work but at the lower generation speed.

How can I confirm the U.2 NVMe SSD is detected and running at PCIe 5.0 speeds after connecting the 50 cm cable?

Check the motherboard BIOS for the drive listing and verify the link speed shows PCIe 5.0 x4, then run a benchmark to see throughput approaching 128 Gbps.

Does the 1.6 ft cable package include the required 15-pin SATA power lead or must I supply it separately?

The adapter needs a SATA power cable to function; that cable is not included and must be provided from your power supply.
