Addonics Technologies today announced a family of adapters for NVMe 2.5" U.2 SSDs, which ensure full READ/WRITE speed by directly connecting the SSD to a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 slot. The family includes NVMe 2.5" U.2 SSD PCIe adapter; SFF-8643 PCIe 4X adapter, and M2 SFF-8643 converter. The NVMe 2.5" U.2 SSD PCIe adapter is a PCIe 4X add-on-card with a 68-pin SFF-8639 female connector on board to directly connect a NVMe 2.5" U.2 SSD to a PCIe 4-lane slot. No cables are needed. It is a simple solution for installing the U.2 SSD into desktop or server equipment.

The SFF-8643 PCIe 4X adapter is designed for connecting the high performance 2.5" NVMe U.2 (SFF-8639) SSD to a PCIe 4-lane slot in a system via a SFF-8643 cable, which allows installation of U.2 SSDs into various types of drive bays. The adapter is a flexible solution for installing NVMe U.2 SSDs into standard height or low profile systems. The M2 SFF-8643 converter is a small adapter that is designed to install into a M2 PCIe SSD socket and turn it into a SFF-8643 connector. This converter enables the NVMe 2.5" U.2 SSD to be attached to the system PCI BUS via a M2 PCIe SSD socket using the SFF-8639 to SFF-8643 cable.
