Ableconn PEXM2-130 Dual M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter Card - PCI Express 3.0 x8 / x16 Support 2X M.2 NGFF (M-Key) PCIe NVMe SSD for Mac & PC (ASMedia ASM2824 Switch) - PCIe NVMe Adapter Dual

• Install two (2x) M.2 NGFF PCIe based (AHCI or NVMe) SSD on a single PCIe x8 Card. Allow you to use SSDs individually or in a storage pool for OS or 3rd party software RAID configuration. • Non-Bifurcation Motherboard Compatible. PCI Express 3.0 x8 Lane Host adapter powered by ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe 3.0 Switch. It does not rely on PCIe bifurcation supported by CPU, PCH, or motherboard. • Supports PCIe M-Key M.2 NGFF (NVMe or AHCI) 2280, 2260 and 2242 SSDs such as Samsung SM951/950/960/970, Plextor M6e Series, Kingston HyperX Predator. Not compatible with a 'B' key M.2 PCIe x2 SSD or 'B' key M.2 SATA SSD. • Compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards, and backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 x8 or x16 slots. Works with all workstations or servers with Windows, Linux, and macOS. No driver installation is required. • Fully RoHS compliant. Made in Taiwan. Note: The motherboard BIOS must support NVMe SSD and support booting from PCIe in order to boot from a M.2 NVMe SSD on PEXM2-130.

The Ableconn PEXM2-130 allows you to install two M.2 NGFF PCIe (AHCI or NVMe) SSD on a single Low Profile PCIe 3.0 x8 card to your PC System.
