SilverStone has announced the new ECM23 M.2 PCIe SSD riser card. The company hasn’t revealed all details about the device–pricing information still isn’t available–but it’s likely released just enough to pique the interest of those wanting better storage performance.
The ECM23 allows M.2 storage to run via PCIe connections. Most motherboards are still limited to just one M.2 slot, but using a riser card like the ECM23 allows you to work around that limitation.
