SKU CH-XFJD-W7SS3

Converts an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD to a U.2 2.5 drive with a 75 cm cable and external SATA power for 12 V operation

  • Converts M.2 2280 NVMe SSD to U.2 2.5 format
  • Supports drives needing 12V power via external SATA connector
  • 75 cm cable allows flexible drive-bay mounting
  • PCIe 4.0 interface preserves high-speed NVMe performance
  • 18 cm power lead connects to system PSU easily

M.2 2280 NVMe to U.2 2.5 Adapter

This adapter converts an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD into a U.2 2.5 form factor. It is designed for builders who want to use an M.2 drive in an existing U.2 drive bay. The product is not for users who need to connect a native U.2 drive to an M.2 slot.

Sustained Operation with External Power

The adapter supports drives that require a 12V source and draws power from a standard SATA connector on an external PSU. This arrangement delivers stable voltage during long write sessions without relying on the motherboard slot alone. The 75cm cable allows the drive to reach bays at a distance.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The unit is a passive circuit board with no fan or active cooling, so it adds no acoustic noise to the system. Power consumption is limited to the attached M.2 SSD plus minimal adapter overhead. The 18cm power tail keeps the SATA connector close to the drive for tidy cable routing.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 V power requirement mean the adapter itself draws significant heat or noise when running continuously?

The adapter is a passive board with no fan or active components; any heat or noise comes from the U.2 drive itself and the system cooling, not from the adapter.

My power supply only has SATA power connectors — will the included 18 cm cable reach and fit without extra adapters?

Yes, the 18 cm cable ends in a standard SATA power plug that connects directly to a PSU SATA connector; the 75 cm data cable then links the M.2 slot to the U.2 bay.

Can I keep my older 2.5-inch U.2 backplane and still get PCIe 4.0 speeds with an M.2 2280 NVMe drive?

The adapter passes PCIe 4.0 signals through the 75 cm cable, so the M.2 2280 NVMe drive runs at full Gen 4 speed while mounted in the existing 2.5-inch U.2 bay.
