The drive comes in two options: a card that slots direct into an M.2 PCIe slot present on a many new systems, or a 'Half-Height, Half-Length' (HHHL) adapter card that transforms a free a PCIe x4 (or higher) slot on the motherboard into an M.2 PCIe slot. The HHHL adapter comes with both a standard and low-profile brackets to allow it to fit in slim desktop builds.
