Vszerda M.2 NVME Adapter PCIe 3.0 X1 Expansion Card M Key

SKU CH-17YF-CPWPB

Adds an M.2 NVME drive via a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot using an M-key connector

  • Adds NVME storage via a single PCIe 3.0 x1 slot
  • Converts M.2 NGFF NVMe drives to PCIe interface
  • Low-profile riser card fits tight chassis spaces
  • Supports PCIe 3.0 x1 bandwidth for solid-state speeds
  • Simple plug-in installation with M-key connector

PCIe 3.0 x1 M.2 NVME Adapter

This Vszerda expansion card converts a PCI Express 3.0 x1 slot into an M key connector for M.2 NGFF NVMe solid-state drives. It adds high-speed NVMe storage to systems that lack a native M.2 socket on the motherboard. The compact riser design fits into any standard PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. Builders can install a fast NVMe drive without replacing the mainboard.

For adding NVMe storage to legacy boards

Ideal for upgrading older desktops or workstations that have spare PCIe slots but no M.2 NVMe support. It suits users who want to boot from an NVMe drive or add a secondary cache drive. Not suited for systems that only offer legacy PCI slots without PCI Express connectivity. Buyers needing multiple M.2 drives should look at a different solution.

Single-lane PCIe 3.0 interface

The card operates at PCIe 3.0 x1 speeds, limiting the connected NVMe drive to one lane of third-generation bandwidth. This ceiling determines the maximum sequential throughput the adapter can deliver. Verify that your workload tolerates the reduced lane count before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 3.0 x1 link cap the drive's throughput under sustained load?

The adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x1 connection, so the drive is limited to the bandwidth of that single lane.

Does the card add noticeable heat or power draw when running all day?

The board is a passive riser with no active cooling, so it adds minimal heat and draws only the power required by the installed drive.

What motherboard slot is required to install this adapter?

It fits any standard PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot on the motherboard.
