UGREEN M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 ×4 Expansion Card, Add Compatible SSD Storage to a Desktop Computer
Product Description
The UGREEN M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card CM302 lets a desktop computer use an M.2 NVMe SSD through a spare PCIe slot. It suits an older motherboard with no M.2 socket, or a build that needs more fast storage than the board provides.
Desktop PCs have limited ports and slots, and an upgrade card is the cleanest way to add them. The UGREEN CM302 M.2 NVMe to PCIe expansion card fits in a free PCIe slot and adds the connection named in the product title. It is made for desktop PC owners who need extra storage, USB ports or a wired network port.
