M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE-N1 StarTech M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIE X4 Slot – Hot Swap Mobile Rack/Backplane
M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE-N1 Overview
The M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE-N1 by StarTech is a specialized hot-swappable mobile rack and backplane system engineered to mount a single M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD into a standard full-profile expansion slot of a desktop or server. Operating over a high-bandwidth PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 interface, this expansion card solution allows users to swap, replace, or upgrade M.2 drives through an external expansion slot bracket without needing to open the computer chassis. Built with a durable, vented aluminum drive tray, it ensures optimal heat dissipation to prevent thermal throttling, while featuring built-in hot-swap support (dependent on motherboard compatibility) and dedicated LED status indicators for power and data activity. It is optimized for data-intensive workflows, IT diagnostics, and environments requiring frequent, secure, and rapid drive swaps.
