PCIe 3.0 x1 to M.2 NVMe Adapter

This adapter converts a single PCIe 3.0 x1 slot into an M.2 M-key interface for NVMe SSDs. It suits technicians who need to test multiple drives simultaneously on a desktop motherboard. The card accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. A black heatsink is included to help manage drive temperature during operation.

Simple Installation with BIOS Caveats

Installation requires a full shutdown, mounting the SSD on the card, inserting the card into a PCIe slot, and restarting the system. The motherboard BIOS must support PCIe boot; without it the drive will not be recognised. Bandwidth is limited to x1 speeds, so full NVMe performance cannot be reached. The adapter does not work with SATA protocol M.2 drives at all.

Verify Motherboard Support Before Buying

Check that your motherboard BIOS explicitly supports PCIe boot for NVMe devices. Confirm the target SSD uses the NVMe protocol — SATA M.2 drives are incompatible. Ensure a free PCIe x1 or larger slot is available. This card is intended for drive testing rather than as a primary boot device due to the x1 bandwidth limit.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the adapter is working after I install an NVMe SSD and insert it into a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot?

After shutdown, install the NVMe SSD onto the M-key slot, insert the card into a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot, then restart. The system should detect the drive in BIOS or OS if the motherboard supports PCIe boot.

What comes with the adapter and what must I supply?

The adapter card with a black heatsink is included. You must provide a compatible NVMe protocol M.2 SSD (2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280) and a motherboard with a free PCIe 3.0 x1 slot and BIOS support for PCIe startup.

Which M.2 form factors does this adapter accept?

The adapter supports M.2 M-key NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. It does not support SATA protocol M.2 drives.
