SilverStone releases ultra low NVMe / SATA compatible M.2-PCI-Express conversion adapter
SilverStone releases ultra low NVMe / SATA compatible M.2-PCI-Express conversion adapter
SilverStone released an ultra-low profile M.2-PCI-Express conversion adapter ECM28 compatible with NVMe and SATA devices (m2)
The height is 32 mm when an M-Key compatible M.2 2280 slot with PCI Express (x4) connection is mounted on one side of the board and a B-Key compatible M.2 2280 slot with SATA 3.0 connection is mounted on the other. Despite the ultra-low profile design, two M.2 SSDs may be mounted. It also accommodates 1U rack mount servers. The comparable form factor is M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280, with exterior dimensions of 15.5mm, 32mm, 118.4mm, and 17.8g. Each slot is equipped with an LED indicator that allows you to know the power supply and access status.

If anything I think it should be longer to accommodate 22110 m.2s if they're aiming to fit in 1U servers.
Looks like it could be made a whole inch shorter but otherwise I like the compactness.

How is the performance using this via PCIe as opposed to a dedicated slot on the MOBO.

If i had to wager a guess.... I'd have to say it probably wouldn't take TOO much of a hit, performance wise. Whether it's a dedicated slot on the motherboard or using this adapter, it's still running on PCI-Express lanes. Unless it's NOT actually running on the PCI-Express lanes and that's why the SATA port is there, which would be a stupid reason to even have it using a PCI-Express 4x slot.... then there would be a pretty drastic performance hit....

Thanks, i run 3 x NVMe drives in my ARock Taichi x570, one of the reasons i got this MOBO and a dealbreaker for whatever x670 board i get.
OS and Progs on one (1TB Gen 4)
Steam folder on another (2TB Gen 4)
Other games on the third (1TB Gen 4).
I have a 2TB SSD attached and stuck on the back of the MOBO tray for any other storage.
