Axagon PCEM2-N PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter, 1x M.2 NVMe SSD With Passive Co

With the PCEM2-N , AXAGON offers an internal adapter that connects an NVMe M.2 SSD to the PC via a PCI Express slot. This is particularly useful if the mainboard does not have a corresponding M.2 slot or if these are already occupied. The adapter enables the use of single and double-sided M.2 SSDs in x16, x8 and x4 PCIe 3.0 slots.The PCI Express bus powers the PCEM2-N directly, eliminating the need for an external source. Thermal pads and copper-plated ventilation openings help to better dissipate the waste heat generated by the M.2 SSDs under load. Two LED displays provide information about whether the connection exists and about the activity of the data transfer.Technical details: Dimensions: 105 x 8 x 49 mm (W x H x D) Input:Interface: PCI-Express 3.0Number of lines: 4-lane (x4)Speed (PCI-Express 3.0): 8 GB/s (bidirectional)Compatibility:PCI-Express 1.0a / 1.1 / 2.0 / 2.1 / 3.0PCIe slot : x4 / x8 / x16 Output:Interface: M.2 NVMe (PCI-Express) Connector: 75-pin M.2 M-Key or B+M-KeyCompatibility: all M.2 NVMe SSDs (M-Key) Supported sizes:2280 / 2260 / 2242 / 2230Height: single / double-sided M.2 SSDsMax. hard disk capacity: unlimited Compatibility:MS Windows: 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 (all 32 and 64 bit versions)MS Windows Server: 2016 / 2012 / 2008 R2 (all 32 and 64 bit versions)Linux: Kernel 2.6.31 and higher Scope of delivery:1x PCI Express adapter with standard cover,low-profile bracket ,2x thermal pads, assembly material and screwdriver,installation instructions
