This adapter enables an M-Key M.2 NVMe SSD to be used in a PCIe system. It provides a bridge from M key M.2 NVMe drives to PCIe slots in desktop or workstation environments. Key specifications - Input interface: M-Key M.2 NVMe (Note: does not support Protocol m.2 NGFF) - Output interface: PCIe, compatible with x16, x8, and x4 lane configurations - Supported devices: Various PCIe protocol NVMe M.2 SSDs Benefits and how it helps - expands storage options by adapting M.2 NVMe drives for use in PCIe slots - supports multiple PCIe lane configurations (x16, x8, or x4) to match different motherboard slots - enables NVMe performance on systems that do not have a native M.2 NVMe connection Key compatibility and performance notes - Only compatible with M key M.2 NVMe SSDs - Does not support NGFF (non-NVMe) M.2 protocols - Designed to work with PCIe based NVMe SSDs across the specified output interfaces use scenarios - Desktop upgrade: install a compact NVMe M.2 SSD into a PCIe x16/x8/x4 slot to add high speed storage without changing the motherboard - Workstation enhancement: utilize NVMe M.2 SSDs in PCIe-enabled workstations to boost data transfer rates for large data sets or software builds - Storage testing and experimentation: test multiple NVMe M.2 SSDs across different PCIe lane configurations to evaluate performance on a single system This description preserves the original function, interfaces, and compatibility while presenting clear, concise information for informed purchasing decisions.
