The StarTech.com 3-port M.2 NGFF SSD Adapter Card, part number STC PEXM2SAT32N1, is a PCI Express expansion card designed for integrating M.2 solid-state drives into desktop PCs or servers. This adapter supports both PCIe (NVMe) and SATA-based M.2 SSDs, offering flexibility for storage expansion. It provides one slot for a PCIe M.2 drive and two slots for SATA M.2 drives, allowing users to leverage various M.2 form factors (2280, 2260, 2242, 2230). The card utilizes PCI Express 3.0, enabling high-speed data transfer for compatible PCIe M.2 SSDs, which can enhance system performance. This product addresses the need for increased internal storage capacity and the integration of M.2 drives, particularly for IT professionals and businesses looking to optimize existing hardware or recover data from M.2 drives from failed laptops. It offers a practical solution for expanding storage without requiring new systems.
This 3-port M.2 SSD adapter card is one of the only cards that supports both PCIe and SATA-based M.2 SSDs (solid-state drives). It's a versatile way to expand the overall storage capacity of your desktop PC or server. Plus, because it supports a high-speed PCIe M.2 drive, you can increase the speed and performance of your computer.
Increase the storage of your desktop PC
If you need a simple and discreet way to expand your computer's storage, then this card can help. The card provides a platform for adding up to three M.2 SSDs to virtually any computer that has a PCIe slot. It supports common M.2 SATA SSDs, as well as newer high-performance M.2 PCIe drives. Now, you have a simple and effective way to expand the storage of your computer, regardless of the M.2 drive types you are using.
Optimize your computer's performance
When you couple this card with a PCI Express based M.2 drive, you can give your computer's performance a noticeable speed boost. With support for PCI Express 3.0 (up to approximately 40Gbps), you can install the latest high-performance M.2 PCIe SSDs inside your computer. With faster performance, you can get more work done in less time.
Peace of mind, with simple and cost-effective data recovery
Due to their performance and size advantages, M.2 drives are commonly used in laptops. If your laptop has failed, but its M.2 drive is still functional, then this card can help with data recovery. Once the M.2 drive is installed and the data recovery is complete, you can continue to use the drive for storage and backup purposes.
Leverage the size and speed of M.2 drives
This M.2 card lets you take advantage of the size and performance benefits of NGFF M.2 SSDs. M.2 drives are smaller than typical platter drives or mSATA-based SSDs, so you can install them in small form-factor PCs and servers, or in tighter areas within your computer case.
Supports a wide range of drives
You can rest assured that your M.2 SSDs are compatible with the adapter card. It supports the most common drive sizes, including, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230.
The PEXM2SAT32N1 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
