2-in-1 M.2 Adapter for NVMe and SATA SSDs

The GLOTRENDS PA12-HS10 fits one M.2 NVMe SSD and one M.2 SATA SSD into a single PCIe x4 slot. It suits builders adding fast boot storage alongside high-capacity SATA drives without consuming multiple motherboard slots. The card accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors for both drive types.

Check motherboard PCIe slot

You need a free PCIe x4 slot (gen 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0) and one spare SATA III header on the motherboard for the included cable. The NVMe drive runs directly from the PCIe lane; the SATA drive requires the separate SATA link. Verify your BIOS/UEFI supports NVMe boot if you plan to install the OS on the lower Key M slot.

Replaces separate NVMe and SATA adapter cards

This single card removes the need for two distinct add-in cards or a motherboard with multiple native M.2 sockets. The jump is worth it when your board lacks a second M.2 slot or when you want both drives cooled by the included aluminum heatsinks (22x70x10mm).

Questions about this item

Does the package include everything needed to install both an NVMe and a SATA M.2 drive?

The box contains the PCIe adapter card, two aluminum heatsinks sized 22x70x10 mm, mounting screws and a SATA data cable for the upper SATA slot. No extra parts are required.

Which slot should I use if I want the faster PCIe 4.0 x4 connection for my 2280 NVMe drive?

Install the NVMe drive in the lower M-key slot; it connects directly to the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, while the upper B-key slot is limited to SATA III 6 Gbps.

Will the Samsung 980 Pro reach its rated PCIe 4.0 speeds when installed in the lower slot on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

The adapter is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and 2.0, so the drive will operate at the motherboard's maximum lane speed rather than the full PCIe 4.0 rate.
