Description

StarTech TR-M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE M.2 NVMe SSD Drive Tray

Overview

The StarTech TR-M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE is a drive tray designed to securely mount and hot-swap M.2 NVMe SSDs within a PCIe expansion slot. This accessory is critical for systems requiring frequent drive access or upgrades without powering down, such as specialized workstations, NVRs, or servers where storage performance and accessibility are paramount. It leverages the PCIe interface to deliver high-speed data transfer, ensuring your NVMe drive performs at its intended rate.

Compatibility

This tray is compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs utilizing the PCIe interface, specifically M-Key NGFF drives. It supports common M.2 form factors including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. The interface is PCI Express 4.0, providing backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 slots, though performance will be limited by the slot's generation. No drivers or software are required for operation, simplifying integration into Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

Installation Notes

The drive tray connects via a PCIe x4 slot. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 64Gbps, contingent on the host system's PCIe 4.0 x4 capabilities. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 65°C (32°F to 149°F), and storage temperature is -35°C to 70°C (-31°F to 158°F). Humidity tolerance is 0% to 90% RH.
