SilverStone has developed the ECM40 PCIe 4.0 x16 to 4x M.2 NVMe SSD adapter card. This adapter is engineered to expand a system by supporting four M.2 SSDs of form factors 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.

The Hybrid Multiport Adapter will also additionally include two different USB-A 3.0 data ports. The data ports will reportedly be for more data transfer options through the USB devices' peripherals.

The adapter itself is limited to 1.7GB/sec reads and 1.48GB/sec writes, and is an alternative to the only official expandable storage for the Xbox Series X/S console outside of the Seagate Xbox 1TB.

The SSD Converter works as such: you simply pop up to two CompactFlash (CF) cards into the device, which is in the shape of a 2.5" SSD, and then slap the entire thing into your next notebook.

Take your most important files with you wherever you go.

Now, once the SSD has been installed, keep the hard drive in a safe place as a permanent backup. Or you can also use it with the USB-to-SATA adapter as an on-going backup drive.

Before proceeding, you will need a cable or adapter to connect the new SSD to your machine; your existing hard disk is already connected. It is fairly simple if you are using a desktop.
