GRAUGEAR G-M2PCI01 Internal M.2 Adapter PCIe Male Black 128mm

The GRAUGEAR G-M2PCI01 Internal M.2 Adapter PCIe Male Black 128mm is an internal expansion adapter that enables installation of M.2 devices into a PCIe host slot. Designed for in-chassis use, the adapter features a PCIe male host interface and an M.2 output interface in a compact black housing. Its reported dimensions (128mm × 18.5mm × 120mm) and light weight make it suitable for small form factor systems and standard desktops where adding M.2 storage or other M.2 modules via a PCIe connection is required.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward way to connect M.2 modules to a PCIe host without complex cabling, offering a compact footprint and compatible physical connectors. The internal design keeps the installation tidy inside the case, and the black finish integrates with a range of system interiors. Its lightweight construction reduces added load on the motherboard and chassis while maintaining a stable connection for inserted M.2 devices.

Suitable for

• Adding an M.2 SSD to a desktop or small form factor PC via PCIe
• Integrating M.2 network or other modules into systems with available PCIe slots
• Internal upgrades and repairs where a compact M.2-to-PCIe adapter is needed

How to use

Install the GRAUGEAR G-M2PCI01 into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard, ensuring the system is powered off and unplugged before beginning. Mount the M.2 module into the adapter's M.2 slot according to the module's keying and orientation, fastening it with the appropriate screw or standoff if required. After secure mechanical installation, reconnect power and boot the system; the installed M.2 device should be recognized by the host platform according to the module's supported protocols and the motherboard's capabilities.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility between the M.2 module (form factor and protocol) and the target system's PCIe slot capabilities. Use recommended grounding and anti-static precautions during installation and avoid forcing connectors; ensure mounting screws are snug but not over-tightened to prevent damage to the M.2 module or adapter.
