Akasa AK-PCCM2P-02 M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x4 Adapter Card with Heatsink

The Akasa AK-PCCM2P-02 M.2 SSD to PCIe Adapter Card with Heatsink Cooler is an expansion card for hosting an NVMe drive in a desktop computer. The M.2 SSD mounts onto the card, which then connects to a standard PCIe motherboard slot. It supports data transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbit/s, matching the bandwidth of the PCIe 3.0 x4 standard. The card fits into any available PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot, creating a direct connection between the storage drive and the system bus. This is useful for motherboards that lack available M.2 slots.

The adapter has a full-height form factor measuring 120 mm x 148 mm x 21.7 mm. It consists of a metal mounting bracket and a black-and-gold PCB. An integrated aluminium heatsink, paired with the included thermal pads, helps regulate the operating temperature of the drive. The assembly weighs 100 g and occupies one expansion slot. It draws power directly from the PCIe bus, requiring no external cables, and is compatible with any desktop system featuring a PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot.

• M.2 M-Key interface – compatible with NVMe-based PCIe storage drives.
• Gold-plated contacts – ensure reliable electrical connectivity across the PCIe interface.
• Broad compatibility – supports 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 length SSDs.
• Exposed copper PCB area – improves the heat dissipation of the aluminium cooler.
• Full-profile mounting bracket – fits standard desktop and workstation chassis.
• PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 support – allows for installation across different motherboard generations.
