x8 Dual M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter - PCIe 3.0

Product ID: PEX8M2E2

Upgrade your system speed and performance with this Dual M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter. It lets you add two

high performance, enterprise-class PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSDs (NVMe and AHCI) into the PCIe 8-lane or larger

slot of your desktop workstation or server.

Boost System Performance

The expansion card lets you take full advantage of the fast performance and compact size of PCIe M.2

internal solid-state drives. With the M.2 PCIe based drives in place, the adapter increases your storage

capacity and gives your computer a significant speed boost, enhancing data transfer rates.

Access two M.2 PCIe SSDs simultaneously

The dual M.2 to PCIe expansion card employs a high-speed ASM2824 switch, allowing you to access two

drives at the same time. Since the adapter card does not rely on PCIe bifurcation, it can easily be

integrated into all systems, new and legacy.
