Overview
This PCIe adapter is designed to ensure the high-performance 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD to realize the full READ/WRITE speed by directly connecting the SSD to a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 slot. There is no software driver to install for this adapter. It is a simple economical solution to install the 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD onto most of the Desktop system or server equipment. Now shipping the latest version that supports PCI 4.0 x 4 lanes.
