LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD PCI-E 3.0 M.2 M-Key to Oculink SFF-8612 SFF-8611 Host Adapter

SKU CH-V2HK-6M92S

Adds an SFF-8612 Oculink port via an M.2 M-key slot for NVMe SSD expansion

  • Adds an SFF-8612 port to the system
  • Connect an NVMe SSD with an optional cable
  • PCI-E 3.0 M.2 M-Key host interface
  • Works with Linux Kernel 4.3 or above
  • Compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 64-bit

Interface and form factor

This LORDWORLD adapter adds one SFF-8612 Oculink port to a system through an M.2 M-Key slot. It operates over a PCI-E 3.0 link and accepts a 2260-length NVMe drive. The card is supplied new and requires an optional cable to attach the target device.

Compatibility and limits

It suits builders who need an extra Oculink connection for an NVMe SSD and run Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or Linux kernel 4.3 and above. It will not help users whose platform lacks an M.2 M-Key slot wired for PCI-E, nor those who need multiple ports from a single adapter.

Deciding specification

The single figure that determines fit is the 3.0 PCI-E generation combined with the M-Key M.2 interface; if the host slot provides a different generation or keying, the adapter will not function.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 M-Key slot free for this PCI-E 3.0 adapter?

Yes, the card plugs into an M.2 M-Key connector on the board and presents one SFF-8612 port for an external cable.

Will a PCI-E 3.0 Oculink link run at full speed if I connect an older PCI-E 2.0 NVMe drive through it?

The adapter passes PCI-E 3.0 signals; a PCI-E 2.0 drive will operate at its native 2.0 speed without limiting other devices.

How can I confirm the SFF-8612 link is active after installing the adapter in Windows 10 64-bit?

Open Device Manager and verify the NVMe controller appears without errors; the drive should then show in Disk Management.
