Expansion Card IPPON PCIe 4.0 x4 to SFF-8639 U.2 Adapter CST-PU1046

IPPON PCIe 4.0 x4 to SFF-8639 U.2 Adapter Expansion Card

The IPPON CST-PU1046 is an adapter card that connects a U.2 NVMe drive to a desktop PC or server through a PCIe slot. The card installs in a PCIe x4 slot and carries a built-in U.2 (SFF-8639) connector for the drive.

It complies with the PCI Express Base Specification 4.0, is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and transfers data at up to 64Gbps. It supports booting the operating system from the drive, and according to the supplier it has a 5A DC-DC power module and an open design for heat dissipation.

Key features

• U.2 drive in a PCIe slot - A built-in SFF-8639 connector on the card takes one U.2 NVMe drive, so it can be used in a computer without a U.2 port.
• PCIe 4.0 at up to 64Gbps - A PCIe 4.0 x4 interface at up to 64Gbps, backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. According to the supplier, the card also fits x8 and x16 slots.
• Boot from an NVMe drive - The card supports NVMe SSDs and lets the drive serve as the system boot drive.
• Stable power and cooling - According to the supplier, a 5A DC-DC power module keeps the card stable over long periods, and an open design improves heat dissipation.
• Wide compatibility - Supports Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, Linux and Mac OS. Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C.
