Input interface: MKey M.2 NVMe (does not support NGFF protocol) Output interface: PCIe x16, x8, or x4 Supported devices: Various PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs Key benefits Enables MKey M.2 NVMe SSDs to be used via PCIe slots on the motherboard, expanding storage options for systems without an M.2 slot. Flexible PCIe interface compatibility with x16, x8, and x4 slot configurations to support different motherboard layouts. Preserves NVMe performance by delivering PCIe connectivity from the M.2 SSD to the PCIe bus. Compatibility and performance Works with standard PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs that use an MKey interface. Supports multiple PCIe lane configurations (x16, x8, x4) to match available motherboard slots. Use scenarios Desktop upgrade: install an NVMe M.2 SSD into a PCIe slot on a desktop motherboard that lacks an M.2 slot, providing fast storage for the operating system, applications, or data. Workstation enhancement: add speed NVMe storage to a workstation for video editing, 3D rendering, or dataintensive workflows by leveraging PCIe expansion slots. Server or test bench: quickly test and compare different NVMe M.2 SSDs by connecting them through PCIe slots for benchmarking and evaluation. Notes This device accepts MKey M.2 NVMe drives and outputs PCIe signals via PCIe x16, x8, or x4 interfaces. NGFF protocol is not supported.
