The AXAGON internal PCIe x4 adapter easily connects a NVMe M.2 SSD (M‑key) to a desktop PC without an M.2 slot. It offers maximum speed via PCI‑Express, support for lengths 2230–2280, improved cooling thanks to a thermal pad and ventilation holes, LED activity indication, and installation in standard and low‑profile positions. Plug & Play, no capacity limits, and no drivers required.
PCIe performance for NVMe M.2
Leverage the full potential of NVMe SSDs via a PCI‑Express x4 interface compatible with x4/x8/x16 slots and PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.x/1.x versions.
Clear compatibility: NVMe M‑key only
The adapter is designed for NVMe M.2 SSDs with M key (including B+M for NVMe). SATA B/B&M modules are not supported.
Complete package and easy installation
Supports lengths 2230/2242/2260/2280, thermal pad, LED indicator, standard and low‑profile bracket, and mounting accessories.
Upgrade your PC with lightning‑fast NVMe storage. This AXAGON PCIe x4 adapter lets you install an M.2 NVMe SSD (M‑key and B+M key for NVMe) in lengths 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280. Thanks to compatibility with PCIe x4/x8/x16 slots and support for PCIe 4.0/3.0, you will achieve top‑tier transfer speeds and low latency.
Carefully designed cooling with a thermal pad and vented copper openings improves heat dissipation, while an LED indicates power and drive activity. Installation is simple: Plug & Play, no drivers, power drawn directly from PCI‑Express. The package also includes a low‑profile bracket and mounting accessories for wide case compatibility.
