InLine® Interface card, PCIe x1 to M.2 Key M NVMe SSD content_copy

Full NVMe compatibility: Supports M.2 Key M and B+M SSDs with PCIe NVMe protocol for maximum performance.
Easy retrofitting: Enables quick installation of an NVMe SSD in PCs without an M.2 slot—ideal for upgrades.
Flexible design support: Compatible with common SSD lengths 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.
Powered directly via PCIe: No separate power cable required—power is supplied via the PCIe bus.
Universally applicable: Works in x1, x4, x8, and x16 slots under Windows and Linux.
The InLine® PCIe x1 to M.2 Key M interface card enables quick and easy integration of NVMe SSDs into existing PC or server systems. The adapter was developed for professional applications and ambitious users who do not want to do without modern NVMe performance – even if the motherboard does not offer its own M.2 slot.
The card supports SSDs with M.2 Key M and B+M Key, provided they use the PCIe NVMe protocol. SATA SSDs or PCIe x2 solutions with B-Key are deliberately not supported in order to ensure maximum performance and compatibility. The flexible acceptance of SSDs in form factors 2230 to 2280 allows the use of a wide variety of modules – from compact industrial applications to powerful desktop upgrades.
An additional highlight: Power is supplied entirely via the PCIe bus, eliminating the need for external cabling. The mechanical design allows use in different PCIe slots – from x1 to x16. The included components, such as a screwdriver, screw, and passive heat sink, make commissioning particularly convenient.
Thanks to support for current Windows and Linux versions, the adapter is versatile—for example, in workstations, test systems, or as a fast memory expansion. The InLine® PCIe x1 interface card stands for reliability, easy handling, and high data rates—in a compact format.
