Axagon ADM2-CM USB-C adapter M.2 NVMe SATA 10Gbps zwart

Compact AXAGON ADM2-CM M.2 adapter with USB 10Gbps interface designed for easy use of M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs. Reliable connection to a computer is possible thanks to a fixed USB-C cable with a length of 10 cm.

The transmission rate is up to 10Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The second generation of fast USB interface allows you to enjoy the speed of modern M.2 SSD drives. The universal M.2 adapter also supports other modern features such as. UASP, TRIM and enables reading S.M.A.R.T. disk status monitoring information. Standby support when idle.

A unique feature, thanks to the new chipset, is the possibility of using both M.2 NVMe and SATA disks. You don't have to think about which type of M.2 drive the adapter is designed for, it simply reads all types. Another advantage of the adapter is the ability to insert the disc into the adapter slot very quickly. Changing discs is also easy. These features make the adapter a very handy and useful tool for frequent work with different types of drives. This makes it an ideal tool for testing disks, transferring, backing up and restoring data, etc.

Thanks to its small size, it can be readily at hand at any time. The adapter does not prevent heat dissipation from the disk, this prolongs its lifetime and also prevents the disk from slowing down the speed of the disk, so-called. „Thermal Throttling“. This USB-C to M.2 drive adapter can be used with computers and laptops as well as mobile phones and tablets.

How to use

Insert an M.2 SSD (M key or B+M key) into the adapter slot, ensuring correct orientation, and push it into place. Connect the fixed USB-C cable to a compatible USB-C port on your computer, notebook, tablet or supported mobile device. The adapter supports hot-plugging, so you can connect or disconnect it while the host is running. The drive should be recognized automatically via Plug and Play; if necessary, install or enable drivers and UASP support on the host OS. Use standard disk management tools to format, partition or mount the drive for data transfer, cloning or backup.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect the adapter to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) or equivalent port. Ensure the host OS supports UASP and TRIM for optimal transfer speeds and SSD longevity. Allow airflow around the adapter during heavy workloads to reduce thermal throttling and avoid using adapters in confined, poorly ventilated spaces.
