Product Information

Full details

This StarTech.com M.2 to U.2 adapter is designed for IT professionals, system integrators, and enthusiasts who want to add the high performance of an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to their desktop computers or servers. Its key benefit is enabling cost-effective integration of NVMe SSDs through an existing U.2 port. A potential caveat is that it specifically supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs (M-Key) and requires a U.2 (SFF-8639) compatible interface on the motherboard.

FAQs

What type of M.2 SSD does this adapter support?

This adapter specifically supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs with an M-Key.

Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?

No, the adapter is designed to be Plug and Play and is OS independent, meaning no drivers or software are required for installation.

What is the difference between U.2 and M.2?

M.2 is a form factor for storage devices, while U.2 is a physical connector interface. This adapter bridges the gap by allowing an M.2 NVMe SSD to connect through a U.2 interface.

Can I use this adapter with an M.2 SATA SSD?

No, this adapter is designed exclusively for M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs. It will not work with M.2 SATA SSDs.

What are the physical dimensions of the adapter?

The adapter measures 70 mm (Width) x 100 mm (Depth) x 7 mm (Height).

Does this adapter come with an M.2 SSD?

No, this is an adapter that allows you to connect your own M.2 NVMe SSD to a U.2 interface. The M.2 SSD must be purchased separately.

What certifications does this product have?

The product is certified with CE, FCC, TAA, and REACH, and complies with RoHS standards.

Troubleshooting

M.2 SSD not detected after installation.

Verify that the M.2 SSD is properly seated in the adapter and that the adapter is securely connected to the U.2 port. Ensure the M.2 SSD is an NVMe type (M-Key) and compatible. Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the U.2 port is enabled and configured correctly.

Poor performance or slow transfer speeds.

Confirm that the M.2 SSD is functioning correctly and that the U.2 connection is stable. Check for any potential bottlenecks in your system, such as the CPU or RAM. Ensure you are using a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, as SATA M.2 SSDs are not supported.

Adapter does not fit or connect properly.

Double-check that you are using a U.2 (SFF-8639) port and not a different type of connector. Ensure there are no obstructions around the port or on the adapter's connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables the use of fast M.2 NVMe SSDs in systems with U.2 ports.
  • Cost-effective upgrade path for storage performance.
  • Simple plug-and-play installation with no software drivers required.
  • Supports a wide range of operating systems due to its OS-independent nature.
  • Compact form factor for easy integration into various system builds.

Cons

  • Requires an available U.2 (SFF-8639) host interface on the motherboard.
  • Only supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs (M-Key), not SATA or other M.2 types.
  • The adapter itself does not provide additional storage; it requires a separate M.2 NVMe SSD.
  • May require physical space within the computer case for installation.
  • Color is listed as Red, which might not match all internal component aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your motherboard has an available U.2 (SFF-8639) compatible host interface.
  2. Install your M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (M-Key) into the adapter.
  3. Connect the adapter to the U.2 port on your motherboard.
  4. The adapter is Plug and Play, so no additional drivers or software are needed.

Compatibility:

  • Host Interface: U.2 (SFF-8639)
  • M.2 SSD Type: PCIe NVMe SSDs (M-Key)
  • Operating Systems: OS Independent (works with Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.)
  • System Type: Compatible with desktop PCs and servers with an available U.2 interface.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter in a clean, dry environment. Avoid exposure to dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
  • When handling, ensure the system is powered off and grounded to prevent static discharge.
  • Clean the adapter and surrounding area with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not use liquids or harsh cleaners.
