ModDIY PCI-E to NGFF M.2 SSD Adapter Card
Enhance your system's storage capabilities with the ModDIY PCI-E to NGFF M.2 SSD Adapter Card. This adapter allows you to utilize modern M.2 (NGFF) SSDs through a standard PCI-E slot, serving as a successor to the mSATA standard. It features dual M.2 slots compatible with Key B and B&M card types, enabling high-speed SATA3/6Gbps data transfers. The M.2 standard itself is a compact implementation of SATA Express, supporting PCI Express 3.0 and Serial ATA 3.0, along with an internal USB 3.0 interface. This card is also compatible with modules like the Intel 7260NGW for expanded connectivity options.
