SilverStoneâ„¢s ECM22 is an adapter designed for users wanting to utilize or add speedy M.2 devices such as SSD onto their existing PC or motherboard. In addition to support for one M.2 device (M key) to run via the super fast PCIe interface at up to 32 Gbps, a second M.2 slot (B key) is available for connecting to a SATA III port for increased storage potential. To keep up with ever increasing speed and hotter performing M.2 SSDs, the ECM22 has large, exposed gold inlays to help transfer heat from SSD to its relatively large surface of gold-rich PCB. For users looking to add more M.2 SSD to their PCs with highest performance, the ECM22 is a must have.

Remark
* ECM22™s 'M' key is for use only with PCIe SSD, 'B' key is for use with only SATA SSD ** B key SSD requires SATA 7 pin cable connected to motherboard to function *** For B+M Key SATA M.2 SSD, please use B key slot **** M.2 PCIe NVMe mode SSD requires the use of Intel® 9 series (Z97 H97 Z170 X99) or higher version chipset motherboard with Windows 8 or higher version operating system ***** If you wish to boot off using M.2 SSD, your motherboard needs to support it. Due to BIOS limitations, not all motherboards support booting off M.2 SSD so please consult your motherboard manual or vendor for more details on how to enable this function ****** Before installing M.2 SSD to ECM22, please make sure to remove protective film covering the gold inlays to ensure optimal heat transfer performance
