SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK K6 PCIe 5.0/4.0 Dual M.2 NVMe & SATA Adapter Card

SKU CH-CX0Q-Q6RNK

Adds dual M.2 slots for NVMe and SATA SSDs over a PCIe 5.0/4.0 lane with a gold-plated PCB and metal bracket

  • Dual-bay design fits NVMe and SATA drives together
  • PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 support enables ultra-high bandwidth transfers
  • Gold-plated PCB maintains stable signals during high-speed operation
  • Metal bracket secures the card in desktops and servers
  • Plug-and-play M.2 compatibility simplifies storage expansion

Mixed-Protocol Storage Expansion

The SMUGDESK K6 adapter converts a PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 slot into dual M.2 ports, supporting simultaneous installation of NVMe and SATA SSDs for mixed-protocol storage expansion in desktops, workstations and small servers. Gold-plated PCB technology optimises signal integrity and reduces loss during high-speed transmission. A durable metal bracket ensures secure mounting across various chassis types.

Builders Adding Mixed SSDs

This card suits builders who want to run an NVMe drive alongside a SATA drive from a single PCIe slot, enabling multi-disk configurations without additional controllers. It is not for systems lacking a PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 slot, nor for users who need more than two M.2 devices or require RAID features not provided by this adapter.

Dual M.2 Ports for NVMe and SATA

The single specification that decides fit is the dual M.2 interface supporting both NVMe and SATA protocols on standard M-Key and B+M-Key drives, delivering plug-and-play installation for mixed-protocol storage expansion.

Questions about this item

What PCIe standard does the K6 adapter use and what bandwidth limit does it impose?

The K6 adapter connects through a PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 slot, so the practical throughput ceiling is the bandwidth of the PCIe generation your motherboard provides.

What physical mounting does the card require inside the chassis?

The card uses a durable metal bracket that screws into a standard full-height expansion slot opening for secure installation in desktops, workstations or small servers.

How is the adapter installed and what step do builders often miss?

Insert the card into a PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 slot, secure the metal bracket with a screw, then install each M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD into its keyed M.2 socket and fasten the drive with its retention screw — skipping the drive screw is the common oversight.
