StarTech 1M25-U3-M2-ADAPTER M.2 to U.3 Adapter
Overview
The StarTech 1M25-U3-M2-ADAPTER allows you to integrate M.2 NVMe SSDs into systems that utilize the U.3 (SFF-TA-1001) interface. This adapter is designed for scenarios where you need to repurpose or expand storage capacity using M.2 NVMe drives within a 2.5-inch U.3 bay, commonly found in high-density server environments or specialized workstations. It provides a direct PCIe connection, ensuring maximum performance without bottlenecks. The 1M25-U3-M2-ADAPTER supports common M.2 drive form factors, including 2242, 2260, and 2280, offering flexibility for various storage configurations.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs (M-Key, NGFF) that utilize a PCIe x4 interface. It connects to host systems via a U.3 (SFF-TA-1001) interface, which supports PCIe, NVMe, and SATA protocols. It is designed for use in 2.5-inch drive bays that are U.3 enabled. No drivers or software are required, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility across most operating systems.
Installation Notes
The adapter supports drive heights of 2242, 2260, and 2280. It is rated for 60 insertion cycles, suitable for enterprise deployments where drives may be swapped periodically. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). The adapter requires a 3.3V DC power supply, drawing up to 5A, which is typically provided by the U.3 backplane.
