Tripp Lite U.2 to M.2 Adapter for PCIe NVMe SSDs

The Tripp Lite P970-U2M2 is an adapter that turns an open U.2 SFF-8639 port into an M.2 slot, letting you run a B+M Key SATA or M-Key NVMe M.2 solid state drive in a desktop, workstation, or rack server. It supports the common 2242, 2260, and 2280 drive lengths, so you can add anything from a small operating system disk to a multi-terabyte data drive without replacing your motherboard.

Installation is straightforward. Insert the M.2 drive, fasten it with the supplied screw, and plug the adapter into the U.2 connector. The adapter draws both data and power through the port, so there is no need for extra cables, external power, or driver software. It is ready for PCIe 3.0 bandwidth and still works in PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 slots. Windows 7 or later and macOS High Sierra or later recognize the drive automatically, giving you true plug and play convenience.

This adapter is ideal for PC enthusiasts who want to reclaim unused U.2 bays, content creators who need a fast scratch disk, and IT staff who must deploy cost-effective flash storage in servers. When paired with the Tripp Lite PCE-U2-PX4 adapter (sold separately), it can even convert an open PCIe slot into an extra M.2 position, extending the life of legacy hardware.

Tripp Lite builds the P970-U2M2 with reliable components and backs it with a 1-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind as you expand your system’s storage.
