SMUGDESK U.2 SFF-8639 to PCIe 3.0 X4 Adapter Card

U.2 SFF-8639 to PCIe 3.0 X4 Adapter

This adapter card connects a 2.5" U.2 NVMe or SATA SSD to a desktop, server or workstation through a PCIe 3.0 X4 slot. It delivers up to 32Gbps bandwidth so the drive can run at its rated speed. The card fits X4, X8 or X16 slots and works with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 systems. No extra drivers are required for installation.

Suits builds adding enterprise U.2 storage

Builders who want to install a 2.5" U.2 NVMe or SATA SSD in a standard PCIe slot will find this card fits the purpose. It supports drives from mainstream brands such as Intel, Samsung and Micron. Systems without a free PCIe slot or users who need M.2 or SATA cabling instead should look at a different solution.

PCIe 3.0 X4 interface for full U.2 performance

The card provides a native PCIe 3.0 X4 link to the U.2 drive, preserving the 32Gbps throughput the SSD is designed for. Backward compatibility with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 allows it to function in older platforms, though at reduced bandwidth. This single interface specification determines whether the adapter matches the host system and drive.
