The OWC U2 ShuttleOne NVMe M.2 to 2.5" U.2 SSD Adapter brings fast M.2 storage to a 2.5" U.2 bay. Whether you have a U.2 bay equipped server, workstation, gaming rig, or external drive, the OWC U2 ShuttleOne gives you access to a range of storage possibilities via a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and transfer speeds up to 8000 MB/s. Single- and double-sided 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 M.2 drives are supported; once an M.2 drive is installed, the adapter can be hot-swapped with other 2.5" U.2 drives in a compatible host bay. A full metal construction ensures durability as well as efficient thermal offloading. Please note that this adapter requires an NVMe (PCIe) enabled U.2 host.
