The Addonics ADM2PX4 M2 PCIe SSD adapter enable installing the M2 PCI SSD or M2 NVMe SSD into a PCIe 4 lane slot of any Desktop system or server. Designed to accommodate M2 PCIe or NVMe SSD in 42, 60 or 80 mm length, this M2 PCIe SSD adapter is a simple economical solution to replace a mechanical hard drive with a low power, shock resistant and high performance Solid State Drive. Once installed, the M2 PCIe SSD becomes a high-speed solid state drive to the OS.
Note
- M2 PCIe or NVMe SSD are NOT the same as the M2 SATA SSD. M2 SATA SSD can be installed into this adapter but will NOT be operable.
- The M2 PCIe SSD communicates via PCIe BUS and the data throughput depends on the speed of the M2 media and the PCIe BUS. A 4-Lane PCIe 1.0 slot has a maximum speed limit of 10 Gbps whereas a 4-Lane PCIe 3.0 slot supports a maximum speed of 40 Gbps.
- M.2 PCIe SSD - OS independent. No software driver required.
- M.2 NVMe SSD - Supported under Window 10, Windows 7 and server 2008 R2. Windows 10 does not need drivers. Windows 7 and server 2008 R2 require updates from Microsoft.
