Key Features
✅ U.2 & U.3 Compatible
Works with both U.2 and U.3 NVMe SSDs. U.3 drives operate in NVMe mode (backward compatible). Both use the same SFF-8639 connector.
✅ Cable-Based Flexibility
50cm cable allows you to position your U.2/U.3 SSD in a 2.5″ drive bay for better cooling, away from the hot PCIe area. Perfect for dense builds.
✅ PCIe 3.0 Performance
PCIe 3.0 x4 interface provides up to 4000 MB/s bandwidth. Sufficient for most enterprise U.2 drives and legacy Optane SSDs.
✅ Wide Compatibility
Works in PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slots. Compatible with Windows, Linux, VMware ESXi. Supports Intel Optane, Samsung, Kioxia, Micron, and WD drives.
