Internal PCIe Adapter for M.2 NVMe and SATA Drives
Internal PCIe Adapter for M.2 NVMe and SATA Drives
The Axagon Internal PCIe Adapter allows you to connect up to two M.2 SSDs to your desktop PC, making it an ideal choice for upgrading systems not equipped with an M.2 slot.
This adapter supports both SATA and NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSDs, accommodating both single-sided and double-sided drives. It has no performance limits on SSDs and can house M.2 cards of all sizes, up to 110 mm. You can operate both drives simultaneously without any issues.
The adapter offers incredible data transfer speeds thanks to its PCI-Express compatibility with x4, x8, and x16 slots. When using NVMe drives, expect several times the speed of standard SATA drives.
Featuring high-quality copper ventilation holes, the adapter ensures efficient heat dissipation from the M.2 SSDs during operation.
- Dual LED indicators show connection or data transmission in the M.2 slot.
- Comes with a low-profile bracket for installation in compact cases.
Technical Parameters:
- Input: PCI-Express interface, compatible versions: PCI-Express 4.0 / 3.0 / 2.1 / 2.0 / 1.1 / 1.0a. Compatible with x4 / x8 / x16 PCIe slots. SATA connection for motherboard interface when using M.2 SATA SSDs. For the best transmission speeds, a SATA 6G controller is recommended.
- Output: NGFF 75-pin M-key slot for mounting NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSDs. NGFF 75-pin B-key slot for mounting SATA (AHCI) M.2 SSDs.
- Supports all M.2 SSD sizes - 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110 mm.
- Simultaneous operation of both SSDs.
- Improved heat dissipation with copper ventilation holes.
- Supports booting from the SSD card.

- Note: Ensure correct slot (B-key or M-key) is used based on SSD interface type (SATA or NVMe).
Power Supply:
- Powered directly from the PCI-Express bus – no external power needed.
- Dual power systems ensure sufficient power to connected M.2 SSDs.
- Redundant power systems also reduce load on the adapter.
Supported Operating Systems:
