PCIe x4 Adapter for M.2 B-Key and B+M-Key SSDs

This SMUGDESK adapter converts a PCI Express x4, x8 or x16 slot into an M.2 NGFF socket. It accepts B-key and B+M-key modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. An adjustable mounting screw secures different drive sizes. Installation is plug-and-play on most Windows desktop systems without extra drivers.

Adds M.2 storage to desktops lacking native slots

Ideal for older motherboards without built-in M.2 NGFF connectors, it provides extra high-speed solid-state storage capacity. Builders needing support for M-key NVMe PCIe-based drives cannot use this card. Buyers whose SSD uses a different key type should look at a different adapter.

Supports B-key and B+M-key M.2 modules only

The card is designed exclusively for B-key and B+M-key M.2 SSDs and does not support M-key NVMe drives. Confirm your SSD key type before purchase to ensure compatibility. The adapter fits standard PCIe x4, x8 and x16 physical slots on desktop motherboards.
