Lycom DT-132 M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 2.5 Inch NVMe SSD Adapter

Lycom DT-132 M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 2.5-inch NVMe SSD Adapter

The Lycom DT-132 is a purpose-built adapter that allows an M.2 NVMe (M-Key) SSD to be used in a U.2 2.5-inch NVMe SSD bay. It is designed for workstation, server, and enterprise environments where U.2 NVMe bays are available, but M.2 NVMe SSDs are preferred for flexibility, testing, or cost efficiency.

This adapter preserves full NVMe PCIe performance and requires no drivers, making it ideal for storage expansion, validation, and lab use in compatible systems.

Key Features:

• Converts M.2 NVMe (M-Key) SSDs into a U.2 2.5-inch NVMe form factor
• Designed for systems with native U.2 NVMe bays or backplanes
• Supports PCIe NVMe SSDs only (not SATA-based M.2 drives)
• Enables use of M.2 NVMe SSDs in enterprise U.2 storage environments
• No drivers required — hardware-level adapter

Included:

• 1 x Lycom DT-132 M.2 NVMe to U.2 adapter

Product Q&A

Q: Does this adapter support M.2 SATA SSDs?

A: No. The DT-132 supports M.2 NVMe (PCIe) SSDs only. M.2 SATA SSDs are not compatible.

Q: What is the main use case for this adapter?

A: It is used to install an M.2 NVMe SSD into a system that has a U.2 2.5-inch NVMe bay, commonly found in servers and high-end workstations.

Q: Can I boot from an SSD installed using this adapter?

A: Boot capability depends on your system’s firmware and NVMe-over-U.2 support. The adapter itself does not restrict boot functionality.

Q: Do I need drivers or software?

A: No. This is a passive hardware adapter. NVMe support is handled by the system and operating system.

Q: Is this suitable for consumer desktop PCs?

A: Only if the system has a native U.2 NVMe interface. This product is primarily intended for workstation and server-class systems.
