The AXAGON internal PCIe x4 adapter adds two M.2 slots to a desktop PC – 1× NVMe (M‑key) and 1× SATA (B‑key). It offers speeds up to 8 GB/s via PCIe 3.0, active and passive cooling for stable performance, support for all M.2 lengths up to 22110, and simultaneous operation of both drives without performance limits.
Two M.2 interfaces in one adapter
One slot for NVMe (M‑key) and the other for SATA (B‑key) let you combine fast NVMe and cost‑effective SATA SSDs and run them simultaneously without limitations.
Maximum speed via PCIe 3.0 x4
Thanks to compatibility with x4/x8/x16 slots, you can achieve throughput up to 8 GB/s. Ideal for accelerating the system, applications, and working with large files.
Cooling without compromise
A metal shroud with a fan and the included aluminum passive heatsink with thermal pads reduce temperatures by up to 35 °C and eliminate thermal throttling.
Expand your desktop with modern storage using the AXAGON adapter with PCI‑Express 3.0 x4 interface. You get two independent M.2 slots – for NVMe (M‑key) and SATA (B‑key) SSDs – with the option of simultaneous use and without speed limitations. Support for all common sizes 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 ensures maximum flexibility when choosing a drive.
The well‑designed cooling combines a metal cover with fan, an aluminum passive heatsink, and copper ventilation openings. With temperatures lowered by up to 35 °C, you can continuously utilize the full performance of NVMe and SATA SSDs without throttling. LED indicators provide information about connection and data transfer.
Installation is easy – Plug & Play, no drivers required, with both standard and low‑profile brackets for various cases. Power is drawn directly from PCIe and a redundant power system ensures sufficient power for connected SSDs.
