The AXAGON PCEM2-XS internal adapter lets you easily connect an M.2 NVMe SSD to a desktop PC via PCIe. It offers high transfer speeds, supports drives up to 2280, and features efficient passive cooling with an aluminum heatsink and thermal pads. Ideal for upgrading a PC without an M.2 slot and compatible up to PCIe 5.0.
The AXAGON PCEM2-XS is a compact and sleek PCIe adapter that turns a free PCIe slot into a high-performance interface for NVMe M.2 SSDs. Thanks to compatibility with PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0, it can unlock the full potential of modern SSDs, offering top throughput and fast response. An LED indicator shows drive connection and activity.
A robust finned aluminum heatsink is included, which, together with thermal pads, efficiently dissipates heat from both sides of the module. This ensures stable performance even with demanding PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives without throttling. The adapter supports single- and double-sided modules and has no maximum capacity limit.
