StarTech.com PEX4SFF8639 PCI Express 4.0 to U.2 Adapter for 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD - PCI Express x4 - Red

The StarTech.com PEX4SFF8639 PCIe 4.0 to U.2 adapter for 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSDs (SFF-8639) is an expansion card designed to integrate enterprise storage into desktop or server systems. This adapter connects a 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSD to a motherboard via a standard PCIe x4 slot. It uses the PCIe 4.0 standard to support the throughput required by modern NVMe drives and remains backwards-compatible with previous PCIe generations. The card enables the use of U.2 drives on systems that lack a native SFF-8639 port. Because it uses a direct hardware interface, storage performance matches the drive's original specifications. The adapter comes with a pre-installed full-profile bracket for installation in standard computer cases. An integrated LED indicator displays drive activity during data transfers. It is compatible with Windows, Windows Server, and Linux. The card is plug-and-play, meaning no proprietary drivers are required. Measuring 122 x 165 x 22 mm, the unit fits into standard expansion bays without obstructing adjacent components. Weighing 65 grams, it places minimal mechanical load on the PCIe slot. Key Features:

• U.2 (SFF-8639) interface – connects standard 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs directly to the PCB without cables.
• Steel housing – provides structural rigidity and protects the mounted drive.
• Four M3 mounting screws – included for immediate drive installation.
• PCIe x4 host connection – ensures a direct link between the storage drive and the motherboard.
• Red PCB – allows for quick visual identification within a dense system build.
• Plug-and-play operation – the drive is recognised by the host operating system immediately after installation.
