Designed for seamless integration into PCI Express expansion slots, this adapter offers a toolless installation process, making it easier than ever to enhance your system's storage capabilities. With support for PCIe 4.0, enjoy data transfer rates up to 64 Gbit/s for rapid access and storage of your critical data. The inclusion of a key lock with 2 keys ensures your data remains secure, while the durable stainless steel construction and anti-vibration springs protect your investment. Compatible with a wide range of M.2 form factors and featuring support for S.M.A.R.T. and TRIM, this mobile rack/backplane is the perfect solution for professionals and enthusiasts looking to upgrade their storage with speed, security, and reliability.
- REMOVABLE M.2 DRIVE HOUSING: Uses an available PCIe 4.0 x4 slot to install, remove or replace PCIe M.2 SSDs (NVMe or AHCI). Supports M-Key M.2 NVMe 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 SSD drives. Read/write speeds up to 64Gbps
- TOOL-FREE INSTALLATION: Install an M.2 drive in the drive tray or install the tray in the drive bay without tools. Power/activity LED indicator. The drive tray has a locking mechanism and is lockable (2 keys included)
- OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE: Vented stainless steel chassis, bracket and tray with thermal bearings and aluminum cover promote heat dissipation. Anti-vibration springs on the drive tray to reduce shock and vibration
- COMPATIBILITY: No drivers or software required and runs on any operating system. Supports PCI Express 4.0 and 3.0 motherboards with an available x4, x8 or x16 slot. Not compatible with M.2 SATA drives
- HOT SWAP: Additional drive trays (TR-M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE, sold separately) provide flexibility/convenience when working with multiple drives; PCIe hot swap support depends on motherboard, check with manufacturer to confirm support
Installation Without Tools
Install the M.2 drive in the tray and insert the tray into the drive bay, no tools required. The drive tray features a power/activity LED indicator to monitor drive status. An optional lockable locking mechanism (2 keys included) prevents theft of mission-critical data storage devices.
Optimal Performance
The ventilated stainless steel chassis and thermally cushioned tray promote heat dissipation, ensuring optimal, reliable performance and reducing potential thermal throttling. Anti-vibration springs on the tray reduce impact during installation and improve the overall stability and longevity of the hard drive. A low-profile bracket for small form factor systems is included.
Hot-Swap
Additional drive trays (TR-M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE, coming soon) offer flexibility and convenience in managing multiple M.2 drives. NVMe PCIe hot swap support depends on the motherboard. Check with your motherboard manufacturer for hot swap support, and for instructions on how to enable this feature.
