Concept Product CP073-2

Removable Dual M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x8 Mobile Rack Adapter Card for PCIe Expansion Slot

Product Details

CP073-2 is a Concept Product based on customer suggestions. While not yet scheduled for release, with sufficient customer support and detailed feedback, we aim to bring it to market. Your insights are crucial in shaping this product and confirming market demand. Please share your thoughts and desired specifications by clicking the icons below or joining the discussion in our forum. Your input helps turn this concept into reality!

The ExpressSlot Core CP073-2 is a PCIe 4.0 x8 adapter card designed to support *two M.2 NVMe SSDs, featuring a tool-less removable M.2 NVMe SSD tray for seamless drive access and easy maintenance. IT professionals, audio/video editors, and gamers can quickly install or swap two M.2 NVMe SSDs without opening the system chassis, making it ideal for servers, industrial PCs, workstations, and media-heavy environments where fast SSD swapping is essential for minimizing downtime, maximizing productivity, or managing media libraries.

*Please note that this product requires a motherboard with PCIe Bifurcation mode to recognize both M.2 NVMe SSDs.
Innovative Removable Design for M.2 NVMe SSD

Unlike traditional M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe adapter cards that require opening the chassis for maintenance, the ExpressSlot Core CP073-2 revolutionizes the process with dual removable M.2 NVMe SSD trays. These trays can be easily accessed from the PCIe slot panel, allowing quick and tool-less access, perfect for tasks like data backup, system recovery, or daily operations in demanding environments. With no need to remove the entire adapter card, it’s an ideal solution for enterprise-level systems where time and uptime are critical.
Support 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD & Tool-less SSD Installation

Thanks to the tool-less SSD installation design, installing the M.2 NVMe SSDs into the CP073-2 has never been easier. First, position the M.2 SSD mounting clip into the semi-circular notch above the screw hole, then place both the M.2 NVMe SSD and the mounting clip onto the tray. Next, apply the thermal pad and reattach the heatsink lid to complete the installation. The entire process takes less than 60 seconds, allowing you to install or remove the SSDs without unmounting the CP073-2 from the PCIe slot.
Optimized Thermal Management

The CP073-2 is equipped with aluminum heatsink lids and included thermal pads to efficiently dissipate heat from the dual M.2 NVMe SSDs, ensuring stable performance even under intensive PCIe 4.0 workloads. This prevents thermal throttling and maximizes data throughput. The design effectively channels airflow, keeping both M.2 NVMe SSDs cool and ensuring reliable performance during heavy data transfers.
Superior PCIe 4.0 Performance

The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface delivers unparalleled speed, providing 64Gbps transfer rates—10 times faster than SATA III. This makes the CP073-2 an ideal solution for applications that demand high-speed data transfer, such as AI, big data analytics, and cloud computing. With PCIe 4.0, you’ll experience reduced latency and faster data access, making your system future-proof for data-intensive workloads.
Maximum Compatibility for Modern Systems

Designed for PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, the ExpressSlot Core CP073-2 is fully compatible with x8 and x16 PCIe slots, offering unmatched flexibility for various system architectures. Whether you’re upgrading your server, workstation, or enterprise system, this adapter is engineered to integrate seamlessly.
Packed with Features

The CP073-2 comes equipped with dual drive activity LED indicators, allowing you to monitor SSD power and activity at a glance. The auto-power-off feature further enhances energy efficiency by shutting down the device when no SSD is detected.
The optional 2-pin HDD activity signal outputs (cable not included) allow you to transfer the drive activity signal to the computer case or LED panel and lets you monitor the drive activities in your desired location.
