Vszerda M-Key NVME SSD to PCIe 3.0 x16 Adapter Low Profile 3cm 1U Server

SKU CH-F0HP-TN0D7

Adds an M-key NVME SSD to a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot with 3 cm low-profile height for 1U servers

  • Fits 1U servers with 3cm low-profile design
  • Powers M.2 NVMe drives from PCIe slot 12V/3A or 5V/4.5A
  • Works in PCIe 3.0 x16, x8 or x4 slots
  • Supports M-key NVMe SSDs 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110
  • Driver-free on Z97 motherboards with Windows 10

Compact NVMe adapter for 1U servers

This Vszerda adapter lets you install an M-key NVMe SSD into a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot using a low-profile bracket only three centimetres tall. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors and draws 12 V at three amperes or 5 V at 4.5 amperes directly from the slot. The board is transparent to the operating system and needs no driver installation.

Suits space-constrained Z97 builds.

Builders fitting storage into a 1U chassis with a Z97 motherboard and Windows 10 or later will find the height and power delivery match their constraints. The adapter only works with M-key NVMe or AHCI SSDs, so buyers who have B-key or B/M-key SATA modules must choose a different solution. Systems lacking a PCIe 3.0 x16, x8 or x4 slot cannot use this card.

Bracket and on-board power change the install

The included low-profile bracket enables mounting in 1U enclosures where a standard bracket would not fit. On-board voltage regulation supplies the SSD without an external power cable, simplifying cable routing in dense server chassis. No software or driver disc is bundled because the device operates natively once the SSD is seated and the system boots.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a Z97 chipset and Windows 10 to run this adapter?

Yes, the adapter requires a Z97 or newer motherboard running Windows 10 or later to function correctly.

Will my NGFF B-key SATA SSD work in this M-key slot?

No, this adapter only supports M-key NVMe or AHCI SSDs; it will not work with B-key or B/M-key SATA drives.

How do I confirm the adapter is powering my 2280 SSD after installation?

The drive should appear in BIOS and Windows Disk Management without any driver installation, drawing up to 12 V/3 A or 5 V/4.5 A from the PCIe slot.
