EN-Labs PCIE4X2NVMEBR M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter with Bracket

M.2 NVMe adapter for PCIe 3.0 x4 slots

This EN-Labs adapter lets you install an M-key M.2 NVMe or AHCI SSD into a standard PCIe 3.0 x4, x8, or x16 slot. It accepts drive lengths of 30, 42, 60, and 80 mm, covering 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors. The card is backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 motherboards and works with Windows and Linux without extra drivers. Builders who need to add a B-key SATA or PCIe x2 M.2 drive cannot use this adapter.

Passive operation with no added power

The adapter draws power solely from the PCIe slot and has no active cooling, so it adds no fan noise and negligible thermal load to the system. Power consumption is limited to the SSD itself and the passive PCB traces. No external power connectors are required, and the card does not increase case airflow demands. Users who want active cooling or a heatsink for sustained heavy write workloads must provide their own solution.

Bracket and hardware for full-profile cases

Included in the package are the adapter card, a full-profile PCI slot cover, mounting screws, and a small screwdriver. The bracket secures the card to a standard chassis cut-out, and the screws fasten the M.2 drive at the appropriate standoff for each supported length. No software, cables, or drive-cloning utilities are bundled. Buyers who need a low-profile bracket for slim cases or additional mounting hardware for multiple drives must source those separately.
