2x M.2 SSD Controller Card - PCIe

StarTech ID: PEX2M2

This M.2 SSD controller card lets you install two M.2 SATA solid-state drives (SSD) into your PC through PCI

Express. You can mount virtually any M.2 drive directly to the card, giving you a convenient and discreet way to

improve your computer system performance. Plus, the card is a vital computer add-on if you need to recover

data from an existing M.2 drive, or for expanding your overall internal storage.

Leverage the speed and size of M.2 drives

This M.2 controller card lets you take full advantage of the performance and size benefits of NGFF (Next

Generation Form Factor) SSDs. M.2 drives are smaller than typical platter drives or mSATA-based SSDs, so

you can install them in tighter areas within your computer case. By freeing up space within your computer, you’ll

also have more room for additional hardware upgrades.

When you couple the card with an M.2 drive, you can give your computer’s performance a noticeable speed

boost, enabling you to replace your platter drive with a faster M.2 SATA III (6Gbps) solid-state drive. By

installing your operating system on the M.2 drive, you'll have faster access to the files you commonly use, and

you can continue to use your higher-capacity platter HDD for bulk storage.

Rest assured, with simple and cost-effective data recovery

Due to their performance and size advantages, M.2 drives are commonly used in laptops. If your laptop has

failed but its M.2 drive is functional, then this card can help with data recovery. Once the M.2 drive is installed

and the data recovery is complete, you can continue to use the drive for storage and backup purposes.

Wide compatibility

You can also rest assured that your M.2 SATA drives are compatible with the card. It supports the most

common drive sizes, including 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230.
