Adapter purpose and fit

This Vszerda adapter converts an M-key NGFF NVME or AHCI SSD into a PCI-E 3.0 x16 form factor. It suits builders who want to install a 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 M.2 card in a full-length slot without changing drive speed or properties.

Motherboard and OS prerequisites

Your board must be Z97 or newer and run Windows 10 or later for the adapter to function. The package includes an 18 to 20 cm PCI-E 16x male-to-female extension cable for flexible vertical mounting inside the case.

Upgrade path and value

The card replaces a direct M.2 slot connection when that slot is absent or occupied, keeping the original drive performance intact. It is not for users who need SATA or eSATA connectivity or who lack a compatible PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy an M.2 NVME SSD separately?

The package includes the NGFF M-key to PCI-E 3.0 16x vertical adapter board and an 18-20cm PCI-E 16x male-to-female extension cable. You must supply your own M-key M.2 NVME or AHCI SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factor.

Which M.2 lengths does the adapter support and how do I choose?

The adapter accepts M-key M.2 cards sized 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. Choose the length that matches the SSD you already own or plan to buy; all four sizes fit the same M-key slot on the board.

What does the PCI-E 3.0 16x rating mean for real-world SSD speed?

The adapter is a passive form converter, so the SSD runs at its native PCI-E 3.0 speeds without added latency or driver overhead. Actual throughput depends on the drive itself and a Z97 or newer motherboard with Windows 10 or later.
