PCEM2-1U PCIE NVME M.2 Adapter

The ultra compatible PCI-Express adapter for connecting an NVMe M.2 SSD disk to a computer. Suitable for x16, x8, and x4 slots.

The AXAGON PCEM2-1U internal adapter allows connecting an M.2 SSD disk to a desktop computer using a PCI-Express bus.

The well thought-out design and ultra compact size of the adapter allow using it easily in a desktop computer not equipped with an M.2 slot. The card is also ideal for a rack 1U server and low profile cases. Its unique design allows using it not only in x16 slots, but also in x4 and x8 slots.

The adapter supports the use of NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD disks, both one-sided and double-sided ones. The reduction does not have a limit of SSD disk capacities and M.2 cards with a size of up to 22x80 mm can be used. Due to the PCI-Express 3.0 4-lane interface rates of up to 8 Gbps can be achieved.

The thermally conductive pads and coppered vents help to remove better heat generated during the operation of M.2 SSD disks. The LED indication indicates connection and data transfer.
