Adapter converts an ordinary M.2 Key AE interface to an M.2 NVMe SSD interface. Key benefits Expands compatibility by allowing NVMe SSDs to be used in systems with an M.2 Key AE slot Supports common NGFF form factors: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 Plugandplay installation with no driver required No additional power supply needed Flexible mounting options for different internal slot lengths Compatibility and features Supports Mkey NVMe SSDs NGFF sizes: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 Installation and power Easy installation, no tools required Driver operation No extra power supply required Mounting options The board provides four mounting hole patterns: 22 x 30 mm, 22 x 42 mm, 22 x 60 mm, and 22 x 80 mm Positioning is based on the internal slot length in your machine Use scenarios Upgrading a laptop with an M.2 Key AE slot to an NVMe SSD for faster boot and file access Adding an NVMe drive in compact desktops or small form factor PCs that use short M.2 slots Replacing or migrating drives in industrial PCs or servers that rely on a Key AE interface Notes Ensure the host device provides an M.2 Key AE interface and that an Mkey NVMe SSD is used with this adapter Verify the NVMe SSD form factor matches one of the supported sizes (2230/2242/2260/2280) before installation
