Interface Card EXSYS EX-3605

The EXSYS EX-3605 interface card is a high-quality hardware solution designed to provide reliable connectivity and system expansion. This adapter serves as an efficient replacement for a standard 2.5-inch hard drive or solid-state drive, enabling the integration of modern M.2 NGFF modules into existing computer setups. Featuring a compact green circuit board with precise dimensions of 69.8 mm width, 100.5 mm depth, and 7 mm height, it fits seamlessly into compatible mounting spaces while maintaining a lightweight profile of 100 g.

Advantages

The interface card ensures efficient data transfer rates and broad compatibility with multiple storage devices. By supporting various M.2 NGFF module sizes, it offers significant flexibility for hardware upgrades. Its straightforward design allows for easy integration into desktop systems or enclosures that accommodate 2.5-inch drives, helping to optimize system performance and extend the lifespan of older hardware configurations.

Suitable for

• Replacing traditional 2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs
• Upgrading desktop computers with M.2 NGFF storage modules
• Integrating B-key and B+M-key storage modules
• Utilizing M.2 module sizes 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230

This product may not be suitable if your motherboard or controller lacks an available SATA connection, as the interface card requires a direct SATA link to function. It is also not compatible with PCIe-based NVMe M.2 modules, as it is strictly designed for SATA-based NGFF modules.

Key specifications

• Width: 69.8 mm
• Depth: 100.5 mm
• Height: 7 mm
• Weight: 100 g
• Color: Green
• Supported M.2 modules: 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 (B-key and B+M-key)

To use the interface card, first secure the appropriate M.2 NGFF module into the slot on the card. Then, connect the adapter to an available SATA connector originating from the motherboard or a dedicated SATA controller. Ensure all physical connections are secure before powering on the host system to allow proper recognition of the storage drive.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your motherboard or controller provides an available SATA connection
• Check that your M.2 module is of the NGFF SATA type rather than NVMe
• Confirm physical space availability for a standard 2.5-inch drive form factor

Always power off the computer and disconnect the power supply before installing or removing internal hardware components to prevent electrostatic discharge or damage to the interface card and connected storage modules.
