Vszerda PCIe X16 to U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe Adapter

SKU CH-7FHK-5VKGF

Connects a U.2 NVMe, SAS or SATA SSD to a PCIe x16 Gen 3 slot with 32 GT/s bandwidth

  • PCIe 3.0 x16 interface delivers 32 GT/s bandwidth
  • Connects U.2 NVMe, SAS, SATA SSDs via SFF-8639
  • 3 V power drawn directly from motherboard slot
  • Works with PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 motherboards
  • Supports Windows 10, 8, 8.1, Server 2012 R2, Linux

PCIe X16 to U.2 NVMe adapter for enterprise SSDs

This Vszerda adapter plugs into a PCI Express x16 slot and presents one U.2 SFF-8639 connector for 2.5-inch NVMe, SAS or SATA solid-state drives. It targets builders who want to run enterprise U.2 storage on a consumer motherboard without a dedicated backplane. Buyers needing M.2 or EDSFF form factors cannot use this card.

Passive thermals with 3.3 V slot power

The board draws 3.3 V directly from the PCIe bus and has no active cooling, so it adds no fan noise to the system. It operates at PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds with a 32 GT/s link rate and remains backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 motherboards. The specified operating temperature range spans -40 to 85 °C.

Open PCB with SATA power for mixed drive support

The bare circuit board exposes a single U.2 port and a standard SATA 15-pin power connector, allowing SAS or SATA 7+15 drives to run alongside NVMe units. No drivers are required on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, Server 2012 R2 or common Linux distributions. Builders needing hot-plug trays or dual-drive capacity must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda PCIe X16 to U.2 adapter and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCI Express X16 slot, connect the SATA power cable to the onboard connector, then attach the U.2 SFF-8639 SSD; the step many miss is plugging in the SATA power lead so the drive receives 3.3 V from the bus.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter need over time?

The adapter itself has no moving parts or wear items; only the connected U.2 SSD, SAS SSD or SATA 7+15 SSD may eventually require replacement after heavy write cycles.

What is the first limit reached under sustained workloads?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 link caps throughput at 32 GT/s, so that interface bandwidth ceiling appears before any thermal throttle within the -40 to 85 °C operating range.
