This connector will now be called u 2 given it s similarities to the current m 2 connection which is currently used in small form factor devices and.
U 2 ssd connector.
U 2 utilizes the pcie 3 0 x4 denotes four lanes interface just like m 2 the main difference is that the capacity for these ultra high performance ssds is not bound by a small.
This u 2 sff 8639 and sata 7 15 pin to m 2 ssd adapter is up to 110 mm in size.
The connector for disks is totally different than the connector for motherboards and only a handful of disks for this interface exist.
U 2 connector supports nvme standard protocol and pci e 3 0x4 bus which makes the u 2 ssd have a theoretical bandwidth up to 32gbps and have advantages of high speed low latency and low power consumption.

The enterprise ssd form factor was released on december 20 2011 by sffwg as a mechanism for providing pci express connections to ssds for the enterprise market.
U 2 formerly known as sff 8639 is a computer interface standard for connecting ssds to a computer it covers the physical connector electrical characteristics and communication protocols.
U 2 connector is a combination extension of the existing sata and sas connectors which offer up to 4x pcie 3 0 lanes to a connected device.
M 2 sata to sata 22pin convert.
M 2 nvme to u 2 sff 8639 convert.
It uses up to four pci express lanes and two sata lanes.
Its purpose is the same as sata express to provide sufficient bandwidth for fast ssds.
On the motherboard u 2 is a double decker connector that receives a similarly double decker cable from the ssd.
Sff 8639 later renamed to u 2 so you actually remember it is another 2 5 ssd like an sata express ssd except u 2 isn t limited by two lanes up 10gb s performance.
On the other end a much wider cable plugs into the ssd for the u 2 multi lane.
