## Long description

Mount a 2.5" U.3 NVMe SSD into a desktop computer or server by installing the StarTech.com U.3 to PCIe Adapter Card into an available PCIe 4.0 x4/x8/x16 slot. The adapter accepts SFF-TA-1001 U.3 drives, provides pre-installed full-profile bracket support and includes drive mounting screws, enabling a direct connection to the PCIe slot without a drive backplane or extra cables. The card is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 x4/x8/x16 slots and requires no additional drivers, working with Windows, Windows Server and Linux.
Advantages
The adapter enables ultra-fast NVMe data access over PCIe 4.0 x4 while remaining compatible with earlier PCIe generations. A vented full-profile bracket and a large PCB cutout improve airflow and heat dissipation to help prevent thermal throttling. The card supports various 2.5" U.3 drive heights and includes mounting screws; LED indicators report drive activity and power status. No additional software or drivers are required, and the card is suitable for desktop and server installations.
