Product Slot and Interface Introduction:
NGFF (M.2) KEY-M slot: As a key component for connecting NVME protocol SSDs, it is
designed and manufactured strictly in accordance with the NGFF
(M.2) KEY-M standard specifications. The layout of the internal
gold finger contact points is reasonable, using high-quality
conductive materials and special gold plating treatment, which has
excellent conductivity and oxidation resistance, ensuring a stable
and reliable electrical connection with the SSD's gold fingers. At
the same time, the slot is equipped with a sturdy fixing structure
around it, which can tightly fix the SSD in the slot through
special buckles or screws (depending on the design of the SSD),
preventing the SSD from loosening or shifting due to vibration or
collision during device operation, ensuring the stable operation of
the SSD and the continuity of data transmission.
SFF-8611 (8612) output interface: Designed strictly in accordance with the SFF-8611 (8612) standard,
its gold fingers are made of high-quality alloy materials and
finely processed to achieve precise dimensional accuracy and shape
tolerances, ensuring accurate docking with equipment that supports
SFF-8611 (8612) interfaces. The pin layout inside the interface is
optimized according to the SFF-8611 (8612) signal transmission
specification, with reasonable allocation of power, data, and
control signal lines to ensure high-speed and stable data
transmission. In addition, the interface shell has good shielding
performance, made of metal material and grounded, effectively
blocking external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the
integrity and accuracy of data transmission, and providing strong
support for the efficient operation of the entire storage system.
Auxiliary power supply interface:
TYPE-C Power Supply Interface: Compliant with the universal TYPE-C power transmission standard,
it has the characteristics of positive and negative insertability
and strong compatibility, making it convenient for users to quickly
connect power devices. It also has reliable performance in data
transmission and power transmission, providing stable and safe
power supply guarantee for adapter expansion in different usage
scenarios.

high-performance advantages of NVME protocol by transferring them
through this expansion card adapter. The NVME protocol has
significant improvements in data transmission parallelism,
instruction processing efficiency, and delay control compared to
traditional storage protocols. In practical applications, whether
it is random reading and writing of a large number of small files
or sequential reading and writing of extremely large files, it can
achieve extremely fast response speed and efficient data
transmission, greatly reducing the waiting time for data reading
and writing, improving the overall operating efficiency of the
system, bringing users a smooth and efficient data storage and
access experience, and meeting the strict storage performance
requirements of modern data intensive applications.
High speed and stable transmission guarantee: With the SFF-8611 (8612) output interface and optimized internal
circuit design, this expansion card adapter can achieve high-speed
and stable data transmission. It has a high theoretical
transmission rate, which is sufficient to cope with complex
application scenarios such as concurrent reading and writing of
massive data in data centers, rapid access to high-definition
materials in video editing processes, and large-scale data
processing in scientific computing. At the same time, by using
high-quality signal transmission lines and advanced signal
conditioning technology, signal attenuation and interference are
effectively reduced, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of data
during transmission. Even in complex electromagnetic environments,
stable and reliable data transmission can be guaranteed, avoiding
system lag or data loss caused by data transmission problems, and

Usage:
Installing SSD: First, choose a suitable SSD that supports NVME protocol and has a
size of 2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280mm based on your storage needs and
budget. Carefully align the golden fingers of the SSD with the NGFF
(M.2) KEY-M slot on the expansion card adapter, ensuring correct
orientation. Then, smoothly insert the SSD into the slot until it
is fully inserted and firmly secured by the slot's fixing
structure, avoiding damage to the SSD or slot caused by forced
insertion.
Connect power supply interface: Select the appropriate auxiliary power supply interface for
connection based on the actual equipment and power supply
situation. If the device supports TYPE-C power supply, a TYPE-C
power cord can be used to connect the TYPE-C power supply interface
of the expansion card adapter to the TYPE-C power supply interface
of the device; If the device is compatible with 4PIN pin power
supply, use the corresponding power cord to connect the 4PIN pin
power supply interface to the device's power supply interface,
ensuring that the power supply interface is firmly connected and
avoiding loose connections that may cause unstable power supply.
Connect the target device: Connect the SFF-8611 (8612) output interface of the expansion card
adapter to the corresponding interface on the target device (such
as data center servers, high-performance workstations, and other
devices that support the SFF-8611 (8612) interface). When
connecting, pay attention to the correct direction of the
interface. Gently insert the interface of the expansion card
adapter into the target device interface, and then press it evenly
to ensure that the interface is fully inserted and tightly fitted
to prevent poor contact. For some interfaces that require
additional fixation, screws or buckles should be used to firmly fix
the expansion card adapter according to the design requirements of
the device, to ensure that it will not loosen due to vibration
during device operation.
System identification and configuration: After completing the hardware connection, start the target
device. The system will automatically recognize the connected SSD
during the boot process, and users can perform operations such as
recognition, partitioning, and formatting on the newly connected
SSD in the disk management tool of the operating system. Depending
on the operating system, the specific steps may vary, but generally
speaking, in Windows systems, users can perform corresponding
operations through the "Disk Management" tool; In Linux systems,
command-line tools such as "fdisk" and "mkfs" can be used to
partition and format hard drives. After completing these basic
configurations, users can store and read data on SSDs just like
using a regular hard drive, and begin to enjoy the convenience
brought by the expanded large capacity and high-speed storage.
