New flat M.2 SSD adapter doesn't stick out from the motherboard, unlocking PCIe slots hidden under massive GPUs — JEYI's new 'ArcherX' AIC lays completely flush and supports PCIe 4.0 speeds

JEYI has introduced the "ArcherX" flat PCIe-to-M.2 adapter that sits flush with the motherboard, allowing for PCIe slots hidden under large GPUs to be utilized. The adapter supports PCIe 4.0 speeds and comes in two variants: PCIe 4.0 x1 and PCIe 4.0 x4, with backward compatibility to PCIe 3.0. The design involves soldering two PCBs together to accommodate the PCIe connector and M.2 slot. Despite its slim profile, the company assures that the adapter is sturdy. Pricing and availability details are yet to be disclosed, but it is expected to be budget-friendly, likely around $20-30.
