LetLinkSo PCIe 5.0 x8 to MCIO x8 Adapter Card

This adapter card converts a single PCIe 5.0 x8 slot into an MCIO x8 interface, allowing the connection of up to 2 U.2 NVMe SSDs via a compatible MCIO cable. It is designed for users who need to add high-speed enterprise or data-centre storage to a workstation or server platform.

Suits builders adding dual U.2 NVMe drives

This card will not work for systems lacking a PCIe x8 electrical connection or for builds that cannot accommodate the side-right connector orientation. Buyers who need more than two U.2 devices or who require a different bracket profile should look at alternative adapter designs.

Plug-and-play install with included brackets.

The accessory kit provides two mounting bracket sizes and fasteners for a straightforward fit. The most common issue is insufficient clearance for the side-right interface and MCIO cable routing; planning the internal layout before installation avoids difficult cable bends or blocked airflow.

Questions about this item

What free PCIe slot does this x8 adapter card need?

It requires one available PCIe 5.0 x8 slot on the motherboard.

Can I keep my existing PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs and use them with this card?

Yes, PCIe 5.0 is backward compatible, so PCIe 4.0 U.2 NVMe SSDs will operate at their rated 4.0 speeds.

What speed should each U.2 NVMe SSD report in benchmarks after installation?

Each drive can reach up to 128 Gbps, with a combined 256 Gbps across both SSDs.
