U.2 to PCIe Low profile adapter

[etorix]

Do you have examples of retimers which would work in a Lenovo P3 Ultra? (SFF 3.9L chassis with low-profile slots)

I was thinking about Supermicro SLG3-2E4R SLG3-4E4T, SLG4-4E4T or generic equivalents, but that's not going to work in a SFF chassis.

(Look at the position of the hole...)

It likely doesn't matter. A 2.5" drive installed in such a way that it barely touches the top of the PCIe slot will extend about 4mm above the top of the low profile bracket.

If you have that much room, then it might work, but otherwise it won't fit.

Supermicro SLGx devices tend to require Supermicro board to operate. There are several threads here and other places, where the Supermicro Retimers/Redrivers do not work on non-SMC motherboards as they require special functionality in the BIOS to operate.

I'd search before jumping on those.

A relatively cheap option is C-Payne adapters (if in EU) or Micro Sata Cables in USA - they have m.2 slot redrivers (amazon link), PCIe slot ones and could ship to EU.

I received the adapters and they fit in the P3 Ultra. Will try the P350 Tiny shortly.
