Should you for whatever weird reason have a U2 SSD (commonly used in enterprise hardware such as servers), but do not have a U2 connector on your consumer-oriented motherboard (not that common anymore), sintech might have a cheap solution for you.

Sintech offers a conversion cable that allows you to directly connect NVMe U.2 drives. The shape of the connector is SFF-8639 that can supply data and power together, the bus interface is PCI-Express (x4), Intel "DC P3500/P3600/P3700", Samsung "XS1715", OCZ "Z-drive 6000", Compatible with HGST "Ultrastar SN100" etc.

The cable length is 200mm, the connector board width is 58mm, and the PCI-Express version supports 3.0/2.0/1.0. The unit costs 24 USD.

The adapter will be attached on PCIe slot, yes. What about U2 SSD? Would it just hang around or can it be attached to something?

If I'm not mistaken, U2 drives have a standard 2.5 inch mount, like SATA SSDs.
