M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter

The SoNNeT PA09-HS converts a motherboard PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slot into an M.2 Key M slot for NVMe SSDs. A heatsink is included to lower drive temperatures by 5 to 20°C. It supports PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 NVMe drives with no capacity limit. The card fits desktop PCs and weighs 0.08 kg.

Builders adding NVMe storage to a spare PCIe slot

This adapter suits systems with an X4, X8 or X16 slot that can run NVMe protocol. It does not support PCIe X1 slots, PCI slots or M.2 SATA SSDs. Windows 7 requires a separate driver download for NVMe support. Some older motherboards cannot boot from the NVMe drive but can use it as storage.

PCIe 4.0 X4 bandwidth and M.2 Key M interface

Maximum throughput is 8 GB/s with a PCIe 4.0 X4 drive and platform, or 4 GB/s on PCIe 3.0 X4. The slot accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. Both 12 cm and 8 cm brackets are included for standard or low-profile cases.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation and lane width does the PA09-HS adapter use, and what maximum bandwidth does it deliver?

The adapter connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, providing up to 8 GB/s with a PCIe 4.0 SSD or 4 GB/s with a PCIe 3.0 SSD.

Which bracket heights are included so the card fits my chassis?

The package supplies both a 12 cm standard bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket for any desktop frame.

How do I install the M.2 NVMe SSD onto the adapter, and what step is often missed?

Insert the SSD into the Key M slot at an angle, secure it with the mounting screw, then attach the supplied heatsink; the step many forget is initializing and formatting the new drive in the OS before use.
