GLOTRENDS PA09-X1HS M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X1 Adapter with Heatsink
- This adapter turns your motherboard's PCIE X1 slot into an M.2 Key M slot for M.2 NVMe SSD installation, and includes an M.2 heatsink that cools the SSD by 5 - 20°C.
- Advantage: it uses the free motherboard PCIE X1 slot instead of occupying the X16 slot. Disadvantage: its maximum bandwidth is limited to that of PCIe X1 and cannot reach PCIe X4 full speed.
- No capacity limit for M.2 NVMe SSDs (2T, 4T work). Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes. New SSDs need initialization and formatting. M.2 SATA SSDs aren't supported.
- Compatible with Windows 11/10/8, Linux, and Mac OS. Support OS boot from NVMe SSD, except on some old motherboards (usable as storage then). Windows 7 lacks native NVMe driver; download from Microsoft or SSD manufacturer site.
- Includes 12cm regular and 8cm low-profile brackets for any PC frame. FCC and CE certified. Get lifetime tech support - contact us for troubleshooting.

The PA09-X1-HS uses the small PCIe X1 slot most motherboards leave empty, turning it into an M.2 Key-M slot for an NVMe SSD - and it ships with an aluminum M.2 heatsink. BUILT-IN COOLING The included heatsink lowers SSD temperature by 5-20°C, preventing thermal throttling during long transfers. HONEST PERFORMANCE NOTE A PCIe X1 link cannot deliver PCIe X4 full speed. Choose this card when you need an extra drive for storage, backups or games and every X4/X16 slot is taken; choose our PA09 X4 adapter when you need maximum speed. KEY FEATURES Works with PCIe 4.0/3.0 M.2 NVMe SSDs, 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes No capacity limit - 2TB, 4TB and larger drives work OS boot supported (on most boards; older boards can still use it as storage) Plug and play on Windows 11/10/8, Linux and macOS Includes regular and low-profile brackets for any case
