Detailed ParametersBrand: AoQhirType: Adapter CardColor: Extended BoardCompatibility: Compatible with M.2 2230 to 2242 / 2260 / 2280SSD Type: Compatible with M.2 NVMEDesign: Breakable segment design with positioning holesDimensions: Approx. 9 × 110 × 5 mmWeight: Approx. 5 gPackage Contents: Bracket ×1, Screws ×2, Washers ×2, Screwdriver ×1Usage StepsStep 1 — Determine SSD Size: Compare your M.2 NVME SSD length against the extension bracket to identify which segment needs to be removed. The bracket is marked with segment divisions for 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes.Step 2 — Locate the Split Position: The bracket body features scored positioning holes and easy-break dotted lines at each segment division point. Align your SSD with the bracket to find the correct split position.Step 3 — Snap Off Excess by Hand: Hold the bracket firmly and bend along the dotted line at the identified segment point by hand to break off the excess bracket section. No cutting tools are needed — the scored lines allow clean manual separation.Step 4 — Mount the SSD: Place the M.2 2230 NVME SSD onto the trimmed bracket, aligning the SSD notch with the bracket connector.Step 5 — Install into M.2 Slot: Insert the assembled bracket with SSD into the target M.2 slot on the motherboard. Secure the assembly using the included screws and washers.Step 6 — Verify Installation: Power on the device and confirm the SSD is recognized in the system.Important NotesMeasure Before Breaking: Carefully confirm the correct segment position before snapping. Once a segment is broken off, it cannot be reattached. Double-check your SSD size against the bracket markings.Snap Along the Dotted Line: Always bend along the scored positioning holes and easy-break dotted lines. Do not cut or saw the bracket — manual bending at the designated points ensures a clean break.Static Precaution: Before handling the bracket or SSD, ground yourself by touching a metal surface or wearing an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic damage.NVME Only: This bracket is designed for M.2 NVME (M-key) SSDs. Do not use with M.2 SATA (B-key or B+M key) drives, as the pin configuration differs.Do Not Force Installation: If the SSD or bracket does not slide in smoothly, do not apply excessive force. Recheck alignment and orientation to avoid damaging the connector.Usage ScenariosDesktop PC Storage Upgrade: When you have a spare M.2 2230 NVME SSD from an old laptop and want to install it into a desktop motherboard with a 2280 M.2 slot, this bracket bridges the size gap effortlessly.Laptop SSD Repurposing: Ideal for users who removed a short M.2 NVME SSD from a compact laptop and wish to reuse it in another device with a standard-length M.2 slot.DIY Storage Expansion Projects: Perfect for system builders and DIY enthusiasts assembling custom PCs who need flexible M.2 SSD mounting options across different form factor sizes.IT and Repair Work: Convenient for PC repair technicians who need to test or repurpose M.2 2230 NVME SSDs across various devices with different M.2 slot lengths in a professional service environment.Cost-Effective Hardware Reuse: Repurpose your existing shorter M.2 NVME SSDs instead of purchasing new longer-format drives, saving on upgrade costs while maximizing hardware utilization.
