Conceptronic EMRICK 2-in-1 M.2 SSD PCIe-adapter SATA AHCI NVMe

The Conceptronic EMRICK 2-in-1 M.2 SSD PCIe Adapter is a dual-interface conversion card that accepts both NVMe (PCIe) and SATA M.2 SSDs. It connects NVMe drives directly to a motherboard PCIe slot and supports SATA-protocol M.2 SSDs via a motherboard SATA port and cable. The adapter uses PCI Express 3.0 x4 lanes for NVMe throughput and supports SATA III (Serial ATA v3.0) speeds for SATA drives, offering compatibility for different storage configurations.

Advantages

The adapter supports both PCIe NVMe and SATA M.2 SSDs, enabling flexible storage upgrades without requiring multiple dedicated cards. PCIe 3.0 x4 delivers high-bandwidth transfer for NVMe drives while SATA III compatibility provides a reliable alternative for SATA M.2 modules. Passive cooling ensures quiet operation and the compact internal design makes the card suitable for standard desktop systems.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop storage with NVMe M.2 SSDs via a PCIe slot
• Using M.2 SATA SSDs with a motherboard SATA port and cable
• Systems that require a compact internal M.2 adapter for additional drives

How to use

Install the M.2 SSD into the adapter’s M.2 slot and secure it according to the drive’s length and the adapter’s mounting point. For NVMe drives, insert the adapter into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on the motherboard. For SATA M.2 drives, connect a motherboard SATA port to the adapter with a SATA cable and ensure the drive is recognised in the BIOS or operating system. No driver is typically required for the adapter itself; install or configure the SSD in the OS as a new storage device.

Recommendations

Use a PCIe 3.0 x4 (or x8/x16) slot for NVMe drives to achieve maximum throughput, and a direct SATA III port for SATA M.2 modules. Ensure the system is powered off when installing the card and confirm BIOS settings and OS compatibility. Allow adequate airflow around the adapter for passive cooling.
