PCIe
If motherboard/device has a M.2 E key slot, you can consider AX200 and AX210. The latter supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 in addition to WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. You have to avoid their silbing models AX201 and AX211 however as they are using the Intel CNVi interface.
As is typical with these combo cards, the WiFi controller is connected via PCIe while the bluetooth is connected via USB. I know some manufacturers are actually selling these on adapter cards that have standard PCIe gold fingers and require external connection to a USB port (like the EDUP one shared above).
What external connection?
PCIe x1 cards that use AX200/AX210 will come with a cable that lets you connect to an internal USB 2.0 header port on your motherboard as the bluetooth part on AX200/AX210 is connected via USB.
I have an ssd there
Could you share the model of your motherboard or device in question? SSDs rarely use the E key. They use the M or M+B key.
SDD Samsung Evo 970 1 Tb MOBO Z490-A PRO
This Z490-A PRO right? I think you need a PCIe card like the one shared by @[email protected] then. Your board does not have a E-key M.2 slot.
