DIGITUS M.2 NGFF/NVMe SSD Pci-e Add-On card supports B, M and B+M Key, size 80,60,42 and 30mm

The Add-On Card Digitus M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD PCI Express 3.0 x4 is an adapter card that lets you install M.2 NGFF/NVMe SSDs into a PCIe x4/x8/x16 slot on the mainboard. It supports M-Key, B-Key and B+M Key M.2 SSDs in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 and provides both PCIe and SATA connectivity depending on the installed M.2 module.

Advantages

This PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter enables high-speed data transfer up to the PCIe 3.0 specification. It is compatible with NVMe PCIe SSDs and M.2 SATA SSDs via the integrated interfaces, includes a low-profile bracket for small form-factor systems, and supports a wide range of M.2 key types and module lengths.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs with M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA SSDs
• Adding additional M.2 storage to workstations or servers with available PCIe slots
• Systems requiring compact, low-profile storage expansion

Key specifications

• Interface: PCIe host interface, M.2 output
• PCIe version: PCIe 3.0 (x4)
• Max data rate: up to 6 Gbps / 32 GT/s (per PCIe 3.0 spec)
• Supported M.2 keys: M-Key, B-Key, B+M Key
• Supported M.2 sizes: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280
• Includes: low-profile slot bracket, SATA cables
• Brand / MPN / EAN: DIGITUS / DS-33170 / 4016032464419

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot on the motherboard. Secure the card with the bracket and select the appropriate M.2 slot position for the module length (2230–2280). Insert the M.2 SSD according to its key type (M, B or B+M) and fasten it with the supplied screw. For M.2 SATA SSDs, connect the integrated SATA interface using the provided cable; NVMe PCIe SSDs will use the PCIe lanes directly.

Recommendations

Ensure your motherboard BIOS/UEFI supports NVMe boot if you intend to boot from an NVMe drive. Use the low-profile bracket for compact cases and verify available PCIe lanes to achieve optimal PCIe 3.0 x4 performance.
