StarTech PEX4SFF8643 4-Lane PCI Express to SFF-8643 Adapter for PCIe NVMe U.2 SSD

StarTech PEX4SFF8643

4-Lane PCI Express to SFF-8643 Adapter Card for PCIe NVMe U.2 SSD

The StarTech PEX4SFF8643 is a 4-lane PCI Express to SFF-8643 adapter that allows you to connect a high-performance PCIe NVMe U.2 SSD to a desktop PC or server that doesn't natively support this drive type. It's a cost-effective way to upgrade your system with the latest enterprise-class storage technology, which is designed for data-intensive applications and offers speeds up to four times faster than SATA SSDs. This adapter is a crucial component for maximizing the performance of your system, enabling faster boot times, quicker file transfers, and enhanced productivity for demanding workloads like video editing, 3D modeling, and large data processing.

This Adapter Card plugs directly into a PCIe x4 slot (or greater, like x8 or x16) on your motherboard. It provides an SFF-8643 interface that lets you connect a 2.5" U.2 SSD using an SFF-8643 to U.2 cable (sold separately). The result is a significant boost in performance, making it an ideal upgrade for professional users who rely on fast storage to get their work done efficiently.

Features :

The PEX4SFF8643 is compatible with both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0 motherboards and is designed for easy installation. It comes with both a full-profile bracket (pre-installed) and a low-profile bracket, so you can install it in a standard desktop PC or a small form-factor computer. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of systems. The adapter's design ensures a secure and stable connection, allowing the U.2 SSD to perform at its full potential without any performance bottlenecks from the PCIe interface.

Advanced Options :

For professionals and enthusiasts, the ability to leverage U.2 NVMe storage is a game-changer. The PEX4SFF8643 makes this technology accessible without requiring a new motherboard. This is particularly valuable for users who want to add ultra-fast storage to an existing server or workstation for tasks such as creating a high-speed scratch disk for video editing or a fast-caching drive for a database. The card's compatibility with various PCIe slots and form factors ensures that it can be integrated into almost any system, providing a flexible and powerful upgrade path for your storage needs.
