The Sabrent M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x16 Tool-Free Add-In Card (AIC) with Aluminum Heatsink (EC-TFPE) is an update to our extremely popular NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe Card (EC-PCIE). The EC-TFPE is designed to handle the newest SSDs at Gen5 speeds and is able to keep them running cool - and quiet - with its built-in aluminum heatsink and thermal padding. The card is tool-free with an x16 physical connector for physical stability but may fit some x4/x8 PCIe slots. The card connects at x4 PCIe electrically for maximum SSD performance and will work in previous PCIe generation slots at their respective speeds, as well as in future PCIe generation slots at up to 5.0 speeds.
The tool-less design allows for easy SSD installation into the add-in card. It’s never been easier to quickly add more fast storage to your system without the worry of extra screws, extra noise, or extra steps. The card supports M key NVMe SSDs and also older B+M key PCIe (AHCI/NVMe) SSDs in the M.2 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 form factors for maximum flexibility. This makes it simple to add another SSD to your system, whether new or old. Full NVMe support is recommended, which requires motherboard compatibility and a newer operating system. Windows, macOS, and Linux are supported with their compliant versions, and you can easily manage your drives with the appropriate software.
This PCIe m2 SSD adapter card will work with older systems, but please first make sure the host system is NVMe-capable. This PCIe SSD adapter card will work in any PCIe slot at its rated speed, up to a maximum 5.0. Please visit the manufacturer website to register your product and receive technical support.
