  • Supports M.2 NVMe SSDs from 2230 to 22110 lengths
  • PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, backward compatible with 4.0 and 3.0
  • Tool-less removable trays simplify drive swaps and maintenance
  • EMI grounding and Anti-Vibration Technology protect drives from static and shock
  • Active Power Technology cuts power draw when bays are empty

Dual M.2 NVMe adapter with PCIe 5.0 x8

This adapter holds two M.2 NVMe drives in lengths 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110. It connects through a PCIe 5.0 x8 slot and is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0. The removable tray uses a tool-less design for quick drive swaps. Builders adding high-speed storage to a workstation or server chassis will find it fits the need.

Requires PCIe bifurcation for dual-drive access

To see both drives the platform must split the link as x4, x4 on an 8-lane slot or x4, x4, x4, x4 on a 16-lane slot. Without that support only one drive will be visible. The step up from a single-drive riser is worth it when the CPU or chipset provides the necessary lane splitting and the workload needs two independent NVMe devices.

Tool-less tray simplifies installation

Slide the SSD into the tray, secure it with the integrated latch and insert the tray into the enclosure. The PCIe-powered design needs no extra cables. Common issues are motherboards that lack bifurcation in BIOS and thermal pads that shift during repeated swaps; check the manual before purchase.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width and bifurcation mode does the MB842M5P-B need to run both M.2 NVMe drives?

The adapter uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface and requires bifurcation set to x4, x4 on an 8-lane slot or x4, x4, x4, x4 on a 16-lane slot so each drive receives four lanes.

How is an M.2 NVMe SSD installed in the ExpressSlot Elite tray without tools?

Slide the removable tray out, place the SSD onto the connector, press down until it clicks into the tool-less latch, then push the tray back into the enclosure until it locks.

Which replaceable part handles heat transfer for M.2 drives up to 22110 length?

The included thermal pad sits between each SSD and the metal tray; replace it when it dries out or after several drive swaps to maintain heat dissipation.
