This StarTech PCIe to U.2 card is an easy way to add a U.2 port to almost any computer. All that is required is a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 (or larger) slot on the motherboard. PCI-Express 2.0 will work too, but may limit performance of the connected drive due to having half the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0.
Both low profile and full height brackets are included, enabling this card to be used in a wide variety of cases.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
If needed, more than one of these cards could be used in a single system... but there are also single-card options with more U.2 ports if you need a lot of those drives.
