Raidon Technology Introduces PC04M-41 Low-Profile M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 HBA with Hot-Swap

Raidon Technology, Inc. launches the PC04M-41, a professional HBA engineered to integrate a high-performance M.2 NVMe SSD into PC or server setup.

Built for compact environments, it blends PCIe 3.0 speed with industrial-grade reliability in a flexible form factor. Whether user managing a 1U server rack or a high-performance workstation, the PC04M-41 solves the common difficulty of accessing M.2 drives by bringing the storage to the back of the chassis for immediate access without system downtime.

Key Features:
The PC04M-41 is engineered with a focus on data integrity and ease of use.

• PCIe Gen3 x4 Interface: Connects directly to the host PC with a maximum bandwidth of 32Gb, ensuring fast and stable data transfer without bottlenecks.
• True Hot-Swap Capability: Unlike standard motherboard slots, this adapter allows you to insert or remove the M.2 drive from the back of the PC without powering down the system, minimizing maintenance downtime.

• Universal M.2 Compatibility: Supports a wide range of M.2 NVMe SSD sizes including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.

• Active and Passive Cooling: Features a built-in 4cm low-noise cooling fan combined with a durable metal tray structure. This dual-layer cooling ensures optimal heat dissipation, preventing thermal throttling during heavy workloads.
• Secure Key Lock: Each drive tray is equipped with an individual key lock, physically securing your SSD against theft or accidental removal.

• Visual Status Monitoring: An integrated LED indicator provides real-time feedback on drive power and activity status.

• Versatile Mounting: Includes both a full-height bracket for standard desktop towers and a low-profile (half-height) bracket for 1U servers and compact form-factor (SFF) computers.

Possible Applications:
Need to pull 2TB of raw footage for same-day delivery?

• Swap in  fresh NVMe drive – no tools, no reboot.
• 1U and Compact Servers – Space is limited in 1U racks. The PC04M-41 allows system integrators to add high-speed NVMe cache or boot drives to servers that may lack onboard M.2 slots or easy access to them.
• Media and Post-Production – Video editors and content creators often need to physically transport large datasets (terabytes of footage) between workstations. This adapter turns an internal NVMe drive into a removable media shuttle with transfer speeds far exceeding USB.
• Secure Workstations – For government or enterprise sectors requiring strict data security, the removable tray allows the boot drive or sensitive data drive to be physically removed and locked in a safe at the end of the day.
• Data Center Maintenance – Technicians can perform drive replacements or upgrades on running systems without scheduling maintenance windows or server restarts.

Benefits:
Why choose the PC04M-41 over a standard motherboard M.2 slot?
