This PCI Express card is designed to expand a PC with an internal NVMe M.2 storage connection. This PCI Express expansion card adds a single internal M.2 Key M slot for NVMe storage modules. The card supports multiple M.2 form factor specifications and features an integrated cooling solution and LED lighting for installation in desktop computers. Application The PCI Express card is intended for desktop computers with a free PCI Express slot that want to add or move NVMe M.2 storage. The card supports various lengths of M.2 modules and can be used as a boot drive, provided the system supports it. Construction and Features The card features an internal M.2 Key M slot and communicates via a PCI Express x4 interface. An included heatsink ensures heat dissipation from the M.2 module. The card has integrated LED lighting that can be connected to the motherboard via a 3-pin connector. The construction supports single and double-sided M.2 modules within the specified height.
