The M.2 SSD PCIe adapter suitable for different dimensions of high-performance M.2 PCIe (M-key) SSD, have a variety of mounting options. Suitable conditions: 1. 1x PCI-E over the socket (note 1x PCI-E interface speed of 3.0 or more is halved, but still faster than SATA) 2. The motherboard that does not support the NVME protocol cannot be used as a system hard drive, but only as a storage hard drive. INTEL motherboard chipset: B250 B150 H170 Z170, provided that the motherboard with M.2 interface is generally supported by NVME. Z97 part of the support, especially on the official website B85 Z87 must update the BIOS support, part of the conscience of the manufacturer's support NVME have provided the BIOS, such as Asus and ASRock etc., when the official is not, on their own difficult to change BIOS, especially the online Search tutorial requires some skill, there is damage to the motherboard risk. (Most B85 do not offer an M.2 interface. You can use our M.2 to PCI-E adapter card.) AMD motherboard chipset: B350 X370 X399 A320 support, the former is not support, which only needs to be used to support NVME RYZEN the CPU board. Support PCI-E and NVME standard M2.SSD, does not support the older SATA M2.SSD important things to say once, does not support SATA M2 SSD, on the UEFI BIOS to the latest version before cleaning old-fashioned BIOS only as storage disk, not system disk. NOTE about the speed (For NVME SSDS that support PCI-E 3.0) A: running PCI-E 1.0 GEN1:200M to 300M/S B: running PCI-E 2.0 GEN2: 400M to 500M/S C: running PCI-E 3.0 GEN2: 700M to 800M/S Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the product. ## Features - VERSATILE APPLICATION&M KEY PCIE SSD CARD:Adds an M.2 PCIe SSD (M-Key) to your PCIe-equipped desktop computer (Windows 11,10, 8, 7, XP, etc.) to significantly increase speed and performance. Supports PCIE 3.0 motherboards and is backward compatible with PCIE 1.0 and PCIe 2.0. Also supports PCIE x1 bus slot. - HIGH PERFORMANCE: The NVMe PCIe card allows you add M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD to your motherboard without M.2 slot, perfect solution for PC upgraded. - APPLICABLE SSD HARD DRIVE:The M.2 PCIE adapter ONLY supports PCI-E NVME based M Key (NVMe & AHCI), NOT supports any SATA based SSD. Fit for PCIE x1/x4/ x8/ x16 slot. - EASY SETUP: No driver installation required (if an exclamation mark appears after installing the adapter, ask the SSD manufacturer to offer the NVME driver for SSD for PCIE). Includes both flat and full profile brackets for installing flexible system chassis, ideal for 2U enclosures. - INTUITIVE DESIGN:Suitable for 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M.2 SSDs (NVME or AHCI) over several mounting holes ! NOTE: Systems released before 2015 may not support NVME SSDs. Please ask your system provider for compatible SSD. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082D6RF6S | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,185 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #4,591 in Components | | Brand Name | MZHOU | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (423) | | Hardware Interface | PCI | | Manufacturer | MZHOU | | Manufacturer Part Number | Mzhou-15 | | Model Number | Mzhou-15 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Windows | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 787794921505 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MZHOU - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Hardware Interface:** PCI - **Style:** Modern - **UPC:** 787794921505 ## Images ![NVME M.2 SSD M Key to PCI-e 3.0 x1 Host Controller Expansion Card,Supports M2 NGFF PCI-e 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0, NVME or AHCI, M-Key, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 Solid State Drives with Low Profile Bracket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VZKl3KskL.jpg) ![NVME M.2 SSD M Key to PCI-e 3.0 x1 Host Controller Expansion Card,Supports M2 NGFF PCI-e 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0, NVME or AHCI, M-Key, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 Solid State Drives with Low Profile Bracket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41cEUDo507L.jpg) ![NVME M.2 SSD M Key to PCI-e 3.0 x1 Host Controller Expansion Card,Supports M2 NGFF PCI-e 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0, NVME or AHCI, M-Key, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 Solid State Drives with Low Profile Bracket - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/411khueoICL.jpg) ![NVME M.2 SSD M Key to PCI-e 3.0 x1 Host Controller Expansion Card,Supports M2 NGFF PCI-e 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0, NVME or AHCI, M-Key, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 Solid State Drives with Low Profile Bracket - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jXGZ3XmHL.jpg) ![NVME M.2 SSD M Key to PCI-e 3.0 x1 Host Controller Expansion Card,Supports M2 NGFF PCI-e 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0, NVME or AHCI, M-Key, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 Solid State Drives with Low Profile Bracket - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SFacZ5DZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this powered via pcie? Does it have sata power out?** A: The USB ports are powered by pcie but the m.2 needs sata power input as well as sata cable going to motherboard in order to communicate with ssd. **Q: Did not find or load drivers from cd for windows 10. ideas? what should i use?** A: Have you updated from Micro soft? **Q: Is this compatible with a msi b350m pro-vd motherboard?** A: Compatible yes, if you have a pcie slot, can you boot to the NVME, probably not unless your board has option to boot to NVME. You could boot to the SATA SSD just as you would any Sata SSD no matter the form factor. **Q: Does this really have a sata iii input or is the sata really just an output from the cards m.2 for the sata on the8 mobo?** A: It’s an output for the m.2 ## Frequently Bought Together - MZHOU Key-M to PCIe Adapter Card - M.2 NVMe SSD Converter - Compatible with Desktop PCs/Motherboards - (Supports 2280/2260/2242/2230 Sizes) - Crucial P3 1TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s - CT1000P3SSD8 - Bejavr M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0/4.0 x4 Adapter, NVME/AHCI SSD to PCIe Expansion Card with Aluminum Heatsink Solution, Supports PCI-Express X4 X8 X16 Slots --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/342772924-nvme-m-2-ssd-m-key-to-pci-e-3](https://www.desertcart.it/products/342772924-nvme-m-2-ssd-m-key-to-pci-e-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
