The board is designed only for M.2 Key B modules such as Huawei ME906 EM7345 ME936 ME206 EM7305 EM7355 MU736. It will not work with Key M storage drives or Key E Wi-Fi cards. Buyers needing internal SSD expansion or Wi-Fi should look elsewhere.

The single specification that decides compatibility is the M.2 Key B slot limited to 3042 and 3052 lengths. If your module uses a different key or length the adapter cannot accept it.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M.2 Key B module and SIM card into the adapter?

Insert the 3042 or 3052 NGFF Key B card into the M.2 slot, secure it with the screw, then place the nano-SIM into the 8-pin SIM connector before plugging the USB 3.0 adapter into the host port.

What ongoing maintenance does the adapter need?

No maintenance is required for the adapter itself; only the M.2 module may need firmware updates or a SIM replacement if the carrier changes.

What limits sustained data throughput on this adapter?

The USB 3.0 interface caps sustained transfer rates at its 5 Gbit/s signalling ceiling.
