Important Compatibility Notes

• This adapter supports NVMe M.2 SSDs only. SATA M.2 SSDs are not supported.
• Requires a physical PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot. PCIe x1 slots are not supported.
• The card uses a PCIe x4 logical interface, even when installed in an x8 or x16 slot.
• Motherboard chipset and BIOS support are important for NVMe SSD detection.
• Older motherboards without built-in NVMe boot support may not be able to boot an operating system from an SSD installed through this adapter.
