Adapter Card x4 to x16 Card CST-4M2G5

M.2 NVMe x4 to PCIe x16 Adapter Card with Gen5 Standard

This is an adapter card that lets you connect NVMe M.2 solid-state drives to a PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard. The card is built to the PCIe 5.0 standard and allows up to four M.2 drives to be installed at once, putting an expansion slot to work for fast storage.

Capacity & interface

The card itself holds no storage; instead it provides four Key-M M.2 NVMe connectors into which you install SSDs of your choice. The other side of the card is a PCIe 5.0 x16 connector that plugs straight into the motherboard's expansion slot.

Speed

The card supports the PCIe Gen5 standard with a data transfer rate of 32 GT/s, a very high bandwidth that suits fast NVMe drives. Because of the direct link to the PCIe bus, the installed drives can make use of their full performance through the board.

Form factor & use

The card accepts M.2 drives in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths and measures 215x80 mm. Those dimensions also allow it to be used in 2U server chassis, making it a fitting solution for workstations and servers that need several fast NVMe drives.
