Green rectangular PCIe card with U.2 port and gold contacts

Vszerda

Vszerda U2X4 PCIe 4.0 x16 to U.2 NVMe adapter card

SKU CH-FQMD-YYX5E MPN U2X4

Adds a U.2 NVMe SSD to a desktop via PCIe 4.0 x16 with 32Gbps/64Gbps speeds

  • 32Gbps/64Gbps high-speed data transfer for demanding workloads
  • Direct U.2 NVMe interface eliminates extra data cables
  • Fits PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots for broad motherboard compatibility
  • Compact 132 x 83 x 18 mm design installs in tight chassis
  • Driver-free plug-and-play on Windows 8, 10, Linux and macOS

PCIe 4.0 U.2 NVMe adapter

This PCIe 4.0 x16 card adds a U.2 NVMe slot to a desktop or workstation. It accepts U.2 protocol SSDs for fast and stable data transfer. The compact 132 x 83 x 18 mm board fits into x4, x8 or x16 slots. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent performance.

Replaces cable-based U.2 add-in cards

The direct U.2 interface removes the need for separate data cables inside the chassis. Installation is plug-and-play with no drivers required on Windows 8, 10, Linux or macOS. The jump is worth it when a cable-free U.2 connection simplifies a build or service routine.

Limited to PCIe 4.0 x4 electrical throughput

The card is mechanically x16 but electrically x4, so peak bandwidth is capped at the x4 lane allocation. It cannot exceed the 64 Gbps ceiling of the PCIe 4.0 x4 link. Builders who need multiple U.2 drives or higher lane counts must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width and physical length does the 132 × 83 × 18 mm card require?

The adapter fits in PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slots and measures 132 mm long by 83 mm tall, so any full-height slot with at least 132 mm clearance will accept it.

How is the U.2 SSD mounted and what common step is missed?

Insert the card into the slot, then attach the U.2 drive directly to the onboard connector — no separate data cable is needed — and secure the drive with the screw; forgetting the screw leaves the SSD loose.

When should the gold-plated edge contacts be cleaned to maintain 32 Gbps or 64 Gbps speeds?

If the system fails to detect the SSD or speeds drop, power down, remove the card and gently wipe the gold contacts with a lint-free cloth before reseating.
