PCAN-M.2: Will it work with a USB to M.2 adaptor?

[sengineer]

Hi,
I am planning on getting a PCAN-M.2 to use it with my laptop. Before I commit to it, just want to make sure PCAN-M.2 can be used with a USB-C to M.2 adapter like the ones used for external SSD/NVMe drives. Will the OS and the software be able to connect to the PCAN-M.2. Has anyone tried it? Or should it be connected directly to the M.2/PCIe on the motherboard?

Thank You

our M.2 cards use the PCIe Lanes and NOT the USB Lanes. So - no you could not use the USB to M.2 Adapter with M.2 cards type: 2280/2260-B-M
For USB you better use the PCAN-USB Interfaces (CAN2.0a/b or CAN2.0a/B & CAN-FD)
