StarTech.com Dual-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x8 Removable Mobile Rack - Black
Expand your system's storage capabilities with this StarTech.com Dual-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x8 ...Expand your system's storage capabilities with this StarTech.com Dual-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x8 Removable Mobile Rack. This innovative solution allows you to utilize an available PCIe x8 or larger expansion slot to create two easily removable M.2 NVMe drive bays. It supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in various sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280) with M-Key interfaces, delivering high-performance read/write speeds of up to 64Gbps per drive. The toolless installation design makes it simple to place or remove M.2 drives without the need for extra tools. Each bay features a power/activity LED indicator, a secure latching drive tray, and a lockable installation system with two included keys for added security. This mobile rack provides quick-swap external access to your internal M.2 NVMe drives, bypassing the need for external enclosures or adapters that could potentially reduce throughput. By avoiding onboard chipsets or adapters, your drives maintain their full performance capabilities. The ease of drive removal is ideal for servicing, replacing, or upgrading your M.2 SSDs. Additional drive trays (TR-M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE) are available for purchase separately. For reliable performance and longevity, the rack is constructed with a vented stainless steel frame, bracket, and tray, complemented by thermal pads, an aluminum cover, and active cooling fans to effectively dissipate heat and keep your drives operating at optimal temperatures. Anti-vibration springs in the drive tray help to minimize shock and vibrations, while an optional screw can be used for enhanced stability. This setup allows you to access two M.2 PCIe SSDs simultaneously without any on-board chip, meaning no drivers or software are required, ensuring compatibility with all operating systems, including Windows and Linux. The M.2 backplane is designed to work with PCI Express 4.0/3.0 motherboards that support PCIe bifurcation and have an available x8 or x16 slot. Please note that this product is not compatible with M.2 SATA drives, and PCIe bifurcation is essential for reading and writing to multiple drives.
