M.2 SSDs* can be installed to form caching pools or an auto-tiering volume. Enables SSD caching to boost performance and optimizes storage efficiency with Qtier Technology**. M.2 SSD thermal sensors allow real-time M.2 SSD temperature monitoring. A quiet cooling module (heatsink and smart fan) minimizes overheating risks and sustains constant high performance. LED indicators for monitoring M.2 SSD status. The PCIe QM2 expansion card allows you to easily add M.2 SSDs to your PC/workstation. Compared with the SATA interface, the QM2's PCIe interface provides higher bandwidth to deliver faster computing speed and data access. No extra drivers are required to use this QM2 expansion card.. Enhanced performance for demanding applications. The QM2 expansion card allows for adding M.2 SSDs to increase the storage capacity of your Windows/Linux PC/workstation, while also boosting overall IOPS performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to the SSD to minimize application loading times. It is ideal for resource-demanding applications, such as inline video-editing, gaming and more.. Tackle performance bottlenecks. QM2 boosts performance by adding M.2 SSDs. It doesn’t occupy any 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to maximize both your storage capacity and performance.. Ports & interfaces. Number of M.2 (M) slots. 4. Expansion card standard. PCIe 3.0.
