PCEM2-DC PCIe NVMe+SATA M.2 adapter

A PCI-Express x4 adapter with a cooler to connect up to two M.2 disks to a computer. 1x NVMe M-key + 1x SATA B-key.

The internal AXAGON PCEM2-DC adapter allows to connect up to two M.2 SSDs to a desktop. So, it is an ideal choice for upgrading a desktop that has no M.2 slot.

The adapter supports the use of both one-sided and double-sided SATA and NVMe (PCI Express) M.2 SSDs. The reduction does not limit SSD capacity, and any M.2 cards with a length up to 110 mm can be used. The simultaneous operation of both disks is commonplace.

Thanks to PCI-Express 3.0 4-lane interface compatible with x4, x8 and x16 slots, a speed as high as 8GBps can be achieved. When compared to standard SATA SSDs, bit rates of NVMe SSDs are many times higher.

The high quality card design, including copper-plated vents, assists in a better dissipation of heat generated during the M.2 SSDs operation. A metal cover with fan and an attached passive cooler, incl. thermal pads, assist in M.2 SSDs cooling. It results in an ideal combination of passive and active cooling of M.2 SSDs and heat removal. Thanks to the cooling and temperature reduction by up to 35°C, it is possible to use the maximum power of deployed SSDs.

Double blue LEDs indicate either power on or data transfer in the M.2 slot. The package also contains a low profile blanking plug for mounting the adapter into low profile cases.
