ADT R27A-BK3 mounts PCIe Gen5 E1.S or E3.S EDSFF SSDs into a PCIe card slot.

· ComputeLabs Research · from the August 16, 2026 edition

ServeTheHome tested the ADT R27A-BK3, an adapter that mounts an E1.S or E3.S Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) solid-state drive into a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) card slot. The tested use case supports PCIe Generation 5 drives.

The product bridges drive form factors and a host card slot; it is not itself an SSD, server, rack, or compute accelerator. E1.S and E3.S refer to the supported EDSFF storage-device formats.

The source is presented as a product review based on testing by ServeTheHome. The supplied description does not state benchmark results, drive capacity, price, thermal measurements, or the number of drives supported per card.
