Inter-Tech KT016
Inter-Tech KT016
The Inter-Tech KT016 controller is an effective solution for upgrading older or basic computer systems that lack an integrated M.2 slot for modern storage. You install this expansion card directly into a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on the motherboard, where it acts as an adapter for an M.2 NVMe SSD. This gives you access to NVM Express technology, which significantly reduces data access latency and surpasses the speed limits of the older SATA interface. The connection via the PCIe bus enables direct communication with the processor, noticeably shortening boot times for the operating system and demanding applications.
Key features of the Inter-Tech KT016 controller
- PCIe 3.0 x4 interface utilises the full potential of NVMe drives
- Data transfer speeds of up to 32Gb/s
- NVM Express technology support reduces data access latency
- Included low-profile bracket for easy installation in small cases
- Mounting holes suitable for common M.2 drive formats
- Included screwdriver and screws simplify the installation process
Controller transfer speed
You install the card into a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, which provides sufficient bandwidth to fully utilise the performance of the installed NVMe SSD. The transfer speed reaches up to 32Gb/s, which is several times faster than the capabilities of the SATA III interface. Direct communication with the processor reduces latency and shortens file access times.
Installation and wide compatibility
The controller is designed for M.2 SSDs with a Key M connector, and the mounting holes correspond to common formats. The installation itself is straightforward as the package includes all the necessary accessories, including a set of screws and a small screwdriver. The included low-profile bracket expands installation options to smaller SFF computer cases. Software compatibility covers Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, supporting integration into most systems.
