Elevate your workstation’s storage capabilities with this StarTech.com Dual-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x8 Removable Mobile Rack. Designed to maximize bandwidth, simplify maintenance, and accelerate data workflows, this hot-swappable, tool-less rack transforms a single PCIe X8 slot into a two-drive NVMe storage solution. It’s the perfect upgrade for professionals who demand rapid drive swaps, seamless scalability, and robust build quality in a compact, rack-mountable form factor. By supporting multiple M-Key M.2 NVMe SSD sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) and delivering impressive per-drive performance, this device helps you accelerate OS boot times, shorten large file transfers, and streamline backups—all while maintaining a clean, organized system chassis. Whether you’re editing 8K video, running large data simulations, or maintaining a fast cloning and imaging workflow, this dual-bay rack gives you the flexibility to choose and swap high-performance NVMe drives without tools or downtime.
- Dual 2-drive NVMe enclosure: Install two PCIe M.2 NVMe SSDs into a single PCIe x8 expansion card, unlocking impressive aggregate storage capacity without consuming multiple motherboard slots or external enclosures.
- Broad drive compatibility and high-speed performance: Supports 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 M-Key M.2 NVMe SSDs with read/write speeds up to 64Gbps per drive, enabling fast OS loads, rapid data transfers, and efficient content workflows.
- Tool-less installation and hot-swappable design: Engineered for quick drive insertion and removal without tools, enabling rapid upgrades, maintenance, and disaster-recovery operations in professional environments.
- PCIe x8 host interface with bifurcation support: Utilizes an available PCIe x8 slot to deliver strong bandwidth; bifurcation is required to split the bus for two drives, optimizing throughput while maintaining system compatibility.
- Removable mobile rack for flexible deployments: A durable, serviceable rack that fits into standard PCIe slots, allowing easy replacement or field swapping in data centers, studios, or on-site workstations.

how to install StarTech.com Dual-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x8 Removable Mobile Rack
- Confirm motherboard/bios support for PCIe bifurcation and configure the PCIe slot accordingly for two NVMe devices.
- Power down your system and locate an available PCIe x8 expansion slot compatible with your motherboard or workstation chassis.
- Insert the StarTech removable mobile rack into the PCIe x8 slot, ensuring proper alignment and secure seating.
- Place your two M-Key M.2 NVMe SSDs into the drive bays using the tool-less retention mechanism, and confirm that the drives are seated firmly and evenly.
- Slide or lock the rack into place, then power on the system. In your operating system, initialize and format the new NVMe drives as needed for your workflow (OS drive, scratch space, or data drives).
- Use your preferred disk management or deployment tools to configure the drives, set up RAID or independent volumes, and optimize performance based on workload requirements.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What does “bifurcation required” mean for this rack? A: Bifurcation is the process of splitting the PCIe x8 lanes to support two independent M.2 NVMe drives. You must enable or configure PCIe bifurcation in the system BIOS/UEFI so both drives can operate at full performance.
- Q: Which M.2 SSD sizes are supported? A: The rack supports 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors with M-Key NVMe PCIe interface, allowing a wide range of drive choices.
- Q: Is it hot-swappable? A: Yes. The design is intended for hot-swapping drives in supported systems, enabling quick replacements and maintenance without a full system shutdown.
- Q: How many drives can I install? A: Two M.2 NVMe SSDs can be installed simultaneously in the dual-drive rack, maximizing total storage within a single PCIe slot footprint.
- Q: Do I need tools to install the drives? A: No. The unit features a tool-less installation design for easy, fast drive insertion and removal.
- Q: What systems is this rack compatible with? A: It is designed for systems with an available PCIe x8 slot and support for bifurcation. It works in desktops, workstations, servers, and compatible industrial PCs that meet those requirements.

A Miracle for dry mouth!!
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
I don't know what I would do without this product. I suffer from severe dry mouth from my medications and xylmelts have been a miracle for me. I buy them regularly and cannot live without them
I sleep comfortably with them in my mouth and they help beyond belief.

Slim profile, stays anchored all night (Berry flavor is great!)
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count, Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
I rely on these nightly to combat dry mouth, and they deliver exactly what is promised. The adhesion mechanism is impressive—once placed against the gum, the disc stays securely anchored for a full 6–8 hours without shifting, allowing me to sleep without interruption.
The profile is ideal; the discs are incredibly slim and unobtrusive, so you don't feel like you have a bulky object in your mouth while trying to fall asleep. Despite being so compact, they pack enough moisture to last until morning. The Berry flavor is mild and soothing, making it a perfect bedside companion. Highly recommended.

Excellent product for dry mouth
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
If you are having trouble with dry mouth, especially while sleeping, this is definitely the product for you. I have severe dry mouth and have tried multiple things including hard candy (yes, I know not very smart) as well as different biotin products, the mouthwash, the spray and the gel, which all do work, but do not last for very long. These stay in place open the corner of your mouth, last for hours and truly work. I highly recommend it if you are having a dry mouth issue

Works great
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 100 Count
I have to use these for about 1/2 a year. I keep bronchitis and sinusitis from about Oct. to April every since I was a child. When I am suffering with these I can't breath through my nose, epically at night while sleeping and would wake up several times a night with dry mouth so bad ir was literally painful. My mom turned me on to these because she was using the with her CPAP. I sometimes have a bit of difficulty getting them to stay put but overall they are great. I have tried the OG, cinnamon, and berry. The OG have no real taste, but you wake up with a sweet taste in your mouth. I tried the cinnamon because I love cinnamon and didn't listen to the reviews stating how strong the flavor is, big regret, it's like putting two or three fireballs in your mouth, won't be making that mistake again. The berry ones are actually best in my opinion. They have a light berry flavor that isn't overpowering, isn't quite as sweet as the OG. Whichever one you choose you won't wake up in pain. I do suggest using only one at first as opposed to the two they recommend, unless you like waking up with your head on a water logged pillow. One generally gets me through the night unless my congestion is super bad, then I will sometimes have to use a 2nd one about 1/2 way through my night when I wake up for the bathroom and realize it's already completely dissolved.
