LORDWORLD M-Key NVME to PCIe 3.0 x16/x4 Adapter 2230-22110

SKU CH-SZDK-N2M4Y

Converts M-key M.2 NVMe SSDs (2230 to 22110) to a PCIe 3.0 x16 or x4 slot without changing speed

  • Converts M-key NVME SSDs to PCIe 3.0 x16/x4 slot
  • Supports 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors
  • Requires Z97 or later motherboard with Windows 10 or later
  • Pass-through design maintains original SSD speed and properties
  • Exclusively for M-key sockets, not B-key or B/M-key

M-Key NVMe to PCIe 3.0 Adapter

This LORDWORLD adapter converts an M-key M.2 NVMe drive to a PCIe 3.0 x16 or x4 slot. It supports drive lengths of 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110. The board performs only a physical interface conversion without altering the drive's native speed or protocol. It requires a motherboard with a Z97 or later chipset and Windows 10 or later.

Suits M-key NVMe drives up to 110 mm

Builders with M-key NVMe SSDs in the listed form factors can add fast storage to a desktop PCIe slot. The adapter will not accept B-key or B+M-key drives, so drives using those keyings are incompatible. Systems running Windows versions earlier than 10 or motherboards older than Z97 are not supported.

M-key socket requirement

The single decisive specification is the M-key socket requirement. The adapter only works with M-key M.2 NVMe drives and cannot function with B-key or B+M-key modules. Verify your SSD keying before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which M.2 length should I pick for my 80 mm or 110 mm NVME drive?

The adapter accepts 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 cards, so both 80 mm and 110 mm drives fit.

Will my NVME drive run at full PCIe 3.0 speed through this x16 slot adapter?

The board is a passive form converter; it does not change the drive’s speed or protocol, so the NVME device operates at its native PCIe 3.0 rate.

Does the x16 connector limit the adapter to x4 electrical lanes?

The adapter presents an x16 physical connector but carries only the x4 lanes required by M-key NVME drives; extra pins are unused.
