StarTech U.3 to PCIe 4.0 x4 Host Adapter Card

Mount a 2.5" U.3 SSD into one of your system's PCIe 4.0 slots using the U.3 to PCIe 4.0 x4 Host Adapter Card from StarTech. This adapter features a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and supports 2.5" U.3 SSDs up to 15mm in height. Compatible with Windows, Windows Server, and Linux, there is also backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 motherboards that have an available x4/x8/x16 slot. Thanks to a vented full-profile bracket and a large cutout in the PCB, operating temperatures will be kept cool. Please note that U.2 drives are not supported.

• Add U.3 NVMe capabilities into a PCIe-enabled desktop or server
• Streaming audio/video production and editing involving large files
• Enhance productivity for data-intensive applications, making it ideal for developers and content creators

Add a 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD into a PCIe 4.0 x4/x8/x16 slot in a desktop or server, enabling fast data access. Also supported are SFF-TA-1001 drives up to 15mm in height. Please note that U.2 drives are not supported.

Backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards that have an available x4, x8, or x16 slot, this adapter works with most workstation and server operating systems such as Windows, Windows Server, and Linux.

A vented full-profile bracket and a large cutout in the PCB allow for better airflow and heat dissipation, which helps maintain optimal and reliable performance while reducing potential thermal throttling.

A pre-installed full-profile bracket and included drive mounting screws enable the connection of a U.3 drive to a PCIe slot, without the need of a drive backplane or additional cables. No additional drivers or software are required.
