Brand: Ableconn
Color: Blue
The Ableconn PEXM2-130 allows you to install two M.2 NGFF PCIe (AHCI or NVMe) SSD on a single Low Profile PCIe 3.0 x8 card to your PC System.

Features
* Connector:
- 2x M-key (type 2280-D5-M) M.2 socket for M.2 NGFF PCIe based SSD
- PCI Express x8 Male
* Chipset: ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe 3.0 Switch

* Software:
- No driver installation required.
- Windows 10/8, Windows Server 2012 R2 and later, Linux series, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat native drivers support both PCIe-NVMe and PCIe-AHCI

* System Requirement:
- An empty PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 2.0 x8, or x16 slot.

* PEXM2-130 does not rely on PCIe bifurcation supported by CPU, PCH, or motherboard. It supports non-bifurcation motherboard.
* PCI Express 3.0 x8 Lane Host adapter Low Profile Form Factor board with both Regular size and Low Profile bracket included
* Movable M.2 NGFF stand-off and multiple plated-holes supports type 2280, 2260 and 2242 M.2. Supports M.2 NGFF 80mm, 60mm, 42mm SSDs.
* Supports dual-sided M.2 SSD module with 1.5mm component height on the top and bottom side
* Compliant with PCI Express 3.0
* Pin header on board for drive LED connection
* Support L1 Power Management Substates with CLKREQ
* Fully RoHS compliant
* Made in Taiwan
Note: SATA Based M.2 SSD module can NOT work with this PCIe Based Adapter
Can I use it as boot drive? The motherboard BIOS must support NVMe SSD and support booting from PCIe in order to boot from a M.2 NVMe SSD on PEXM2-130.

Compatibility (Incomplete List)
