Addonics M2 PCIe SSD Adapter PRO
Overview
This M2 adapter enables installing a combination of one M2 PCI SSD (or M2
NVMe SSD) and two M2 SATA SSDs into a PCIe 4 lane slot of any Desktop system or
server. Designed to accommodate M2 in 42, 60 or 80 mm length, this M2 adapter is
a simple economical solution to replace a mechanical hard drive with a low
power, shock resistant and high performance Solid State Drive. It is also a
great solution to add as many as three high performance M2 SSD via just a single
PCIe slot. Once installed, the M2 PCIe and the two M2 SSDs appear as three
high-speed solid state drives to the OS. Comes with LEDs for monitoring the
activity of each M2 SSD, this adapter requires no software driver and can be
installed into any Desktop or Server equipment running with any OS.
Accommodate 2 M2 SATA SSDs in length of 30, 42, 60 and 80 mm on top
side (requires connecting the two SATA connector to two SATA ports) (Top Side
View)
Accommodate M2 PCIe SSD (or M2 NVMe SSD) in length of 30, 42, 60 and
80 mm on the reverse side (Reverside View)

Note:
* M2 PCIe SSD ( or M2 NVMe SSD) and M2 SATA SSD are M2 SSDs that use similar
connector but different electrical interface. The M2 PCIe or NVMe SSD
communicates via PCIe BUS and the data throughput depends on the speed of the M2
media and the PCIe BUS. A 4-Lane PCIe 1.0 slot has a maximum speed limit of 10
Gbps whereas a 4-Lane PCIe 3.0 slot supports a maximum speed of 40 Gbps.
The M2 SATA SSD communicates via SATA port. The maximum speed depends on the
M2 media and the connecting SATA port, which ranges from 1.5 Gbps for SATA 1.0
port to 6 Gbps for SATA 3.0 port.
