M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 x16 Adapter

This adapter converts a single M.2 M-key NVMe SSD into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 card. It accepts drive lengths of 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm. An aluminium heatsink and three thermal pads are included to lower operating temperature by 25 degrees Celsius. No driver installation is required for Windows, Mac or Linux systems.

PCIe 3.0 x16 Interface Limits

The card only functions in a full-size PCIe x16 slot and will not work in x1, x4 or x8 slots. Throughput follows the PCIe 3.0 specification with a maximum transfer rate of 3259 Mb/s. The adapter does not support M.2 SATA (NGFF) drives, so a SATA-based M.2 SSD will not be recognised. LED indicators show power and data activity.

Installation Notes

Mount the SSD on the PCB, apply a thermal pad after removing its protective film, then attach the heatsink. Secure the assembly in an x16 slot; no low-profile bracket is needed. The board uses 68 copper ventilation holes for airflow. Builders needing a second M.2 drive or a SATA M.2 device must choose a different solution.

Questions about this item

Which M.2 NVMe SSD lengths does this adapter accept?

The adapter supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm sizes.

What does the 3259 Mb/s headline figure mean once the drive is in a real machine?

It represents the maximum theoretical NVMe transfer speed over the PCIe 3.0 x16 link; actual throughput depends on the specific SSD and system workload.

What interface standard is used and what does it cap in practice?

The card uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, providing up to 16 lanes of Gen 3 bandwidth for the installed NVMe SSD.
