The Startech PCI SSD M.2 PEX8M2E2 card is a high-quality PCI Express 3.0 adapter designed to maximize storage performance in desktop computers and servers. Its ability to host up to two PCIe M.2 SSDs simultaneously offers a versatile and efficient solution for expanding high-performance SSD storage, supporting NVMe and AHCI technologies, as well as the most popular M.2 physical sizes: 2242, 2260, and 2280, measuring 42, 60, and 80 millimeters in length respectively. The adapter features an ASMedia ASM2824 controller, allowing simultaneous access to both drives without relying on PCIe bifurcation, facilitating integration in modern and older systems via a PCIe x8 or higher expansion slot. Its design includes a pre-installed full-profile bracket, with an additional piece for small form factor mounting, providing greater adaptability for different chassis types. Furthermore, the model has a robust build, with a red plastic body and compact dimensions of 159 mm depth, 69 mm height, and 16 mm width, suitable for space-limited setups. The card ensures optimal thermal management thanks to its ventilated brackets that aid heat dissipation generated by the SSDs during intensive use. Compatible with PCIe 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0 motherboards, this adapter card can reach a maximum data transfer rate of up to 8 Gbit/s, significantly enhancing storage capacity and speed without compromising system stability. This solution also supports software RAID configurations, offering options to improve redundancy or performance according to user needs. In short, the Startech PEX8M2E2 PCIe M.2 adapter card is an advanced technical tool to expand and accelerate internal storage for computers and servers, providing flexibility, compatibility, and efficiency in a compact and easy-to-install format.
