SilverStone ECM27 1-slot NVMe And 2-slot SATA M.2 SSD To PCI-E X4 Adapter Card

ECM27 is a M.2 NVMe / SATA M.2 SSD adapter card designed for users who wishes to add or expand M.2 SSDs in their system utilizing PCI Express x4 lane or SATA interface. The card supports a total of 3 M.2 SSDs, of the 3, 1 slot utilizes PCIe interface for M Key M.2 SSD and the other 2 utilizes SATA III interface for B Key M.2 SSDs.

For users seeking top speed performance or wishes to increase storage with M.2 SSDs to their PC systems, ECM27 is a great purchase to fulfill this requirement.

Features

• Supports 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 lengths M.2 PCIe / NVMe SSD
• Allows concurrent usage of all 3 M.2 SSD slots
• Supports 1 x M.2 PCIe SSD (M key) utilizing PCIe x4 interface
• Supports 2 x M.2 SATA SSD (B key)
• Supports PCIe Gen4
• Supports SATA 6Gbps
• Low-profile expansion slot included
• Supports PCIe CLKREQ# function

There are three types of M.2 SSDs, please make sure you know the difference between them and whether your system/motherboard support them before pairing these with your SilverStone product.

Used for SATA SSDs, and interfaced through the AHCI driver and legacy SATA 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) port exposed through the M.2 connector.

Used for PCI Express SSDs and interfaced through the AHCI driver and provided PCI Express lanes, providing backward compatibility with widespread SATA support in operating systems at the cost of not delivering optimal performance by using AHCI for accessing PCI Express SSDs.

Used for PCI Express SSDs and interfaced through the NVMe driver and provided PCI Express lanes, as a high-performance and scalable host controller interface designed and optimized especially for interfacing with PCI Express SSDs. NVMe has been designed from the ground up, capitalizing on the low latency and parallelism of PCI Express SSDs, and complementing the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications.
