$27 platypus PCIe adapter converts half-height GPUs into full-height while adding two M.2 slots for SSDs — enthusiast demos low-profile RTX 4060 with two SSDs thanks to PCIe bifurcation

Gigabyte, WindForce GeForce RTX 5070 12GB.

A Redditor got his hands on a PCIe adapter that does the job of two different ones at the same time, converting a half-height GPU into full height while also adding M.2 slots for SSD storage expansion.

A common PCIe adapter you'll see out there is a riser meant to convert half-height cards, such as low-profile GPUs, into full-height cards. Even more popular than that is a PCIe to M.2 adapter that allows you to run more SSDs with an extra PCIe slot. What you've likely never seen before is a PCIe adapter that combines both of these features into one, being both an M.2 storage holder and a GPU riser, allowing you to maximize the functionality of your PC hardware.
