PCEM2-N PCIE NVME M.2 Adapter

The PCI-Express x4 internal adapter for connecting an NVMe M.2 SSD disk to a computer.

The AXAGON PCEM2-N internal adapter allows connecting an M.2 SSD disk to a desktop computer using a PCI-Express bus.

High-quality construction, compact size, and well thought-out design make the adapter an ideal choice for upgrading a desktop computer that is not equipped with an M.2 slot.

The adapter supports the use of NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD disks, both one-sided and double-sided ones. The reduction does not have a limit of SSD disk capacities and M.2 cards with a size of up to 22x80 mm can be used.

Thanks to PCI-Express interface compatible with x4, x8 and x16 slots, a maximum transmission rates can be achieved.

The thermally conductive pad and coppered vents help to remove better heat generated during the operation of M.2 SSD disks. The LED indication indicate either connection or data transfer in the M.2 slot. The package also contains a low profile bracket for mounting the adapter into low profile cases.
