CompatibilityThis PCIe to U.2/SATA adapter applies to 2.5 inch U.2 SSD and 2.5 SATA SSD/HDD up to 6TB capacity. (7 pin to 7 pin sata data cable included)
PCIe LanesPCIe 4.0 lanes with up to 64Gbps bandwidth, this U.2/SATA drive to PCI Express X4 expansion card is backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 2.0 3.0, PCI Express physical interface supports PCIE X4/X8/X16 slots. By converting one PCIe X4/X8/X16 slot on the motherboard you could add 2.5'' U.2 or SATA drive to your desktop for storage space expansion. (NOTE: It will not fit the PCIe x1 slot)
High Speed TransferThe CPU, PCIe slot of motherboard and U.2 SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features to reach PCIe 4.0 X4 64Gbps full speed. (Note: PCIe 4.0 is unavailable on 10th Gen and AMD 3000 or earlier.)
OS CompatibilityThe PCIE to M.2 adapter is plug-and-play, native support for Windows 11/10/8/7/Linux/macOS. New unformatted SSD requires initialization and formatting via OS tools before system detection.
NOTENeed to connect SATA drive to motherboard via included 7 pin to 7 pin SATA data cable when using with 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, otherwise it cant recognize SATA SSD.
