Four NVMe SSD Adapter for 3.5" Bay, SilverStone Technology SDP13, SST-SDP13B

The SilverStone SDP13 is an adapter that converts a 3.5" drive bay into M.2 SSD bays, featuring four built-in M.2 slots that support PCIe NVMe M-Key M.2 SSDs in sizes 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110. It allows users to install multiple high-speed NVMe SSDs in systems that lack sufficient M.2 slots, making it ideal for users looking to expand storage capacity without upgrading their entire system. The adapter is designed for desktop computers with a 3.5" drive bay and requires a motherboard or add-on card that supports PCIe bifurcation to function properly.

The SDP13 features dual SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) connectors, enabling high-speed data transfer with speeds up to 32Gbps on PCIe 3.0 and up to 64Gbps on PCIe 4.0. This makes it suitable for users who need fast data access for tasks like video editing, gaming, or large file transfers. The adapter also includes reserved mounting holes and standoffs for easy SSD installation, ensuring compatibility with most standard M.2 SSDs.

The design of the SDP13 includes a built-in 60mm fan to prevent overheating of the installed M.2 SSDs, which can help maintain optimal transfer speeds over extended use. Additionally, it has an independent LED indicator that provides quick visual feedback on the status of the SSDs, making it easier to monitor performance and detect potential issues.

The SDP13 comes with all necessary mounting hardware for installation in a 3.5" drive bay. It does not require any additional drivers or software, simplifying the setup process. However, users must ensure their system supports PCIe bifurcation, as this is essential for the adapter to function correctly with multiple NVMe SSDs.
