U.2 adapter

[EnderW]

Abyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive PCI-E to U.2 adapter? I want to connect a single P3600 to my X10SRA motherboard.

I was looking at that one, the StarTech one, and the cheap CY one that’s like $14

EnderW - did you go through with this purchase? I got a U.2 drive by mistake - would like to adapt to pcie x1 slot, but the drive is an x4. Would that be a constriction to the speed of the drive?

Thanks!

Yes. You'd be looking at ~1GB/s max if PCIe 3.0. Half that if PCIe 2.0.

I went with the startech one. Works fine.
