Ugreen CM302 M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter Card

Ugreen CM302 NVMe Expansion Card

The Ugreen NVMe PCIe Adapter facilitates high-speed data transfer by bridging M.2 NVMe storage drives to existing PCIe architecture. This hardware component utilizes a PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface to bypass the bottlenecks associated with SATA-based connections. By leveraging four lanes of bandwidth, the device achieves theoretical throughput speeds of up to 32Gbps. This architecture ensures that high-performance Solid State Drives operate at their rated sequential read and write velocities without thermal throttling or interface limitations.

Key Features

• High-Bandwidth PCIe 3.0 x4 Interface
  The controller utilizes four lanes of PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth to support data transfer rates reaching 32Gbps.

• Universal M.2 SSD Compatibility

  • Supports M-Key and B+M Key NVMe SSDs
  • Compatible with 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors

• Integrated Status Monitoring
  A built-in LED indicator provides real-time visual feedback regarding power status and data transmission activity.

• Enhanced Thermal Management
  The open-board design promotes natural convection to dissipate heat from the storage controller during heavy workloads.
