LogiLink PCI Express 3.0 x4 dual M.2 NVMe SSD en dual SATA III hybride-adapterkaart

In a compact workstation or home server, expanding storage often means choosing between fast NVMe drives and high-capacity SATA drives. This LogiLink hybrid adapter card removes that compromise, letting you install two M.2 NVMe SSDs and two SATA HDDs or SSDs simultaneously through a single PCIe x4 slot. It is ideal for IT professionals, content creators, and PC enthusiasts who need flexible, high-speed storage expansion without replacing the motherboard.

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCI Express 3.0 x4 (backward compatible with PCIe 2.0)
• M.2 slots: 2x M-Key, supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors
• SATA ports: 2x internal SATA III (6 Gbps), backward compatible with SATA II and I
• Max data transfer rates: up to 32 Gbps per NVMe drive, 6 Gbps per SATA drive
• Bracket: full-height and low-profile included for versatile case compatibility
• Power: PCIe bus-powered, no external power connector required
• OS support: Windows 7/8/10/11 and Linux (Kernel 3.3+)
• Features: TRIM and NCQ support for optimized performance and longevity
• Installation: plug & play, no driver installation needed

Why choose it

This adapter card maximizes the potential of a single PCIe x4 slot by combining ultra-fast NVMe storage with traditional SATA drives. The dual M.2 slots allow RAID configurations for speed or redundancy, while the SATA ports accommodate large-capacity hard drives for archival storage. The included low-profile bracket makes it suitable for slim desktops and 2U rackmount chassis, and the bus-powered design simplifies installation.

Ideal use cases

• Upgrading a workstation with high-speed NVMe boot drives and large SATA storage
• Building a home server or NAS with mixed drive types
• Adding fast cache drives to an existing SATA-based system
• Expanding storage in a compact or low-profile PC case

Good to know

The card supports PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth, providing up to 32 Gbps per NVMe slot, which is sufficient for most consumer and prosumer SSDs. When both M.2 slots are populated, the total bandwidth is shared across the PCIe x4 link, so individual drive performance may vary under simultaneous load. The SATA ports operate independently via the onboard controller, ensuring stable 6 Gbps connectivity for each drive. No drivers are required for Windows 10/11 and modern Linux kernels, making it a truly plug-and-play solution.
