M.2 NVMe NGFF SSD to PCIe x1 Adapter Card + Half-Height Bracket
M.2 NVMe NGFF SSD to PCIe x1 Adapter Card + Half-Height Bracket
NVMe PCIe M.2 NGFF SSD to PCIe x1 Adapter Card with Half-Height Bracket
Expand your desktop's storage capabilities with this M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD to PCIe x1 Adapter Card. Designed for technicians, PC builders, and enthusiasts, this adapter lets you mount an NVMe M.2 SSD into any available PCIe slot on your motherboard — ideal for firmware upgrades, SSD testing, or emergency storage expansion when PCIe x4 slots are unavailable.
Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Broad Protocol Support: Compatible with M.2 NGFF SSDs using PCIe X4 or PCIe X2 transport protocols (NVMe). Does NOT support SATA protocol M.2 drives.
- PCIe x1 Interface Output: Converts your M.2 NVMe SSD into a PCIe x1 slot connection — great for batch firmware testing or use on motherboards with limited PCIe x4 slots.
- PCIe 3.0 Slot Compatible: For best performance, insert into a PCIe 3.0 x4, x8, or x16 slot. PCIe 2.0 or 1.0 slots will result in significantly reduced speeds.
- Half-Height Bracket Included: Comes with a half-height (low-profile) bracket and mounting screws for compatibility with slim or compact PC cases.
- Windows 10 & Up Ready: Please note — Windows 7 does not natively recognize NVMe protocol SSDs; Windows 10 or later is recommended.
Important Compatibility Notes
- This adapter supports PCIe X4 NVMe (single M-key notch) and PCIe X2 NVMe (two notches, but PCIe X2 protocol) M.2 drives only.
- SATA-based M.2 drives are NOT compatible. Please confirm your SSD's transport protocol with the manufacturer before purchasing.
- Do NOT insert into a legacy PCI slot — only PCIe slots. Incorrect insertion may damage your motherboard, adapter, and SSD.
- Running an SSD through this x1 adapter will not achieve full NVMe speeds; it is intended for testing, firmware flashing, or temporary use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which M.2 SSD types are compatible with this NVMe PCIe adapter card?
A: This adapter card is compatible with M.2 NGFF SSDs that use the PCIe X4 NVMe or PCIe X2 NVMe transport protocol. It does NOT support SATA-based M.2 drives. If you are unsure of your SSD's protocol, please check your drive's official specifications or contact the manufacturer's support team before purchasing.
Q: Can I use this adapter card in any PCIe slot on my motherboard?
A: For optimal performance, insert this adapter into a PCIe 3.0 x4, x8, or x16 slot (the same slots used for graphics cards). Inserting it into a PCIe 2.0 or 1.0 slot will work but will result in much slower transfer speeds. Never insert this card into a legacy PCI slot — doing so may permanently damage your motherboard, the adapter card, and your SSD.
Q: Will my NVMe SSD run at full speed using this adapter?
A: No — because the adapter outputs via a PCIe x1 lane, the SSD's maximum throughput will be limited compared to a native PCIe x4 connection. This adapter is best suited for firmware testing, batch SSD upgrades, or as a temporary solution when a dedicated PCIe x4 slot is not available.
Q: Is this adapter compatible with Windows 7?
A: Windows 7 does not natively support the NVMe protocol and will not recognize NVMe SSDs connected through this adapter. Windows 10 or later is strongly recommended for proper SSD detection and functionality.
