Compatibility: This PCIe to U.2/SATA adapter applies to 2.5 inch U.2 SSD and 2.5Inch SATA SSD/HDD up to 6TB capacity. PCIe Lanes: PCIe 4.0 lanes with up to 64Gbps bandwidth, this U.2/SATA drive to PCI Express X4 expansion card is backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 2.0 3.0, PCI Express physical interface supports PCIE X4/X8/X16 slots. By converting one PCIe X4/X8/X16 slot on the motherboard you could add U.2/SATA drive to your desktop for storage space expansion. (NOTE: It will not fit the PCIe x1 slot) High Speed Transfer: The CPU, PCIe slot of motherboard and U.2 SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features to reach PCIe 4.0 X4 64Gbps full speed. (Note: PCIe 4.0 is unavailable on Intel 10th Gen and for AMD 3000 or earlier.) OS Compatibility: The PCIE to M.2 adapter is plug-and-play, native support for Windows 11/10/8/7/Linux/for macOS. unformatted SSD requires initialization and formatting via OS tools before system detection. NOTE: Need to connect SATA drive to motherboard via included 7 pin to 7 pin SATA data cable when using with 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, otherwise it can't recognize SATA SSD.
