Product Slot and Interface Introduction:

NGFF (M.2) KEY-M slot: As a critical component for connecting 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.

EDSFF Gold Finger Output Interface: Designed strictly in accordance with EDSFF standards, its gold fingers are made of high-quality alloy materials and crafted through precise processing techniques, with precise dimensional accuracy and shape tolerances, ensuring precise docking with equipment that supports EDSFF interfaces. The pin layout inside the interface is optimized according to the EDSFF 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.

Transmission advantages:

NVMe protocol performance: SSDs that support NVMe can fully leverage the high-performance advantages of the 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 EDSFF gold finger 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.

Usage:

Installing SSD: Firstly, 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 the target device: Connect the EDSFF gold finger 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 EDSFF 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.
