SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Adapter Card with Aluminum Heatsink, Easy Install, Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280, Not Compatible with SATA or PCIe x1 (EC-PCIE)

This device has worked perfectly and as expected. It has run successfully 3 in one server with absolutely zero issues, gets picked up and required no configuration. I've used 1TB, 2TB, and 8TB NVMes with this and they have all worked. Installation is very easy and completed quickly and it comes with great contact strips for the heatsink and I've had no temperature issues. It can fit anywhere and is quite small so it can fit in most computers without issue.

Was Needing A Extra M.2 Slot Cause My Sata Drive Has A Short In The Port Runs Same Speed As Having it In A M.2 Spot Fits Perfectly Under My Big A## Gpu Connects Perfect No Wiggle Didn’t Have Any Problem With Screws Or Thermal Pads Plus Came With A Little Screwdriver. Built nice and durable. It Reads The Drive Instantly (From Being Used Before) So it’s Portable If you Wanna Load Games And Use It On Another Pc. But As A New Drive I Recommend Going To Disk Partition. Functions Better Then Expected Motherboard: Tuf gaming X570 Plus WiFi M.2: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 500gb

This thing is amazing. I didn’t get to use it as my SSD was failing so I’m kind of saving it for when I get a new one, but I did use it and as long as you have the right slot, it works perfectly. It comes with some heat sink tape I believe that is blue. I couldn’t find out how to use it. I looked it up, but I couldn’t find a good video it has these pieces so it breaks up into three pieces you put your SSD inside of it and each piece is made out of metal so it has some weight to it so you’re not just gonna drop this thing and it falls apart. It’s very durable for the price which is very affordable and it’s smaller than most things in your PC which make it almost go unnoticeable besides that, I will defend this product to the end.

I wish I took a photo while assembling these. I have an older gaming rig that does not have native NVMe support so I took a chance on this product and purchased two of them for my WD_BLACK series NVMe storage modules. When they arrived, they were packaged nicely and felt heavy. The heat sync is milled and powder coated quite well. The quality of the solid state board is well produced with nice solder joints and quality components. What lacked was: Instructions! Normally, I wouldn't care about that as these should be easy to assemble. However, that wasn't the case here because I was dealing with heat protection in the form of applicable heat absorption materials and I wanted to get it right. Each kit comes with two thin strips of heat tape and one thick strip. The modules themselves come per-assembled so you have to remove four small fasteners. Not a big deal, right? Wrong. The fasteners were put on by someone who must be ripped with strength because in both of my kits I received, all four of the fasteners were put on so tightly that I needed to use vice grips on my jeweler bit to get them off! Each would finally succumb to the "snap" as the screw finally released its torque and came out. Good grief! Not necessary! Once apart, it wasn't obvious which heat strip went where. Would have been great to have a one-sheet diagram showing how. Eventually, I think I figured it out but it still seemed off because the thicker heat strip is what I used between the NVMe chip and the riser board. Hope that was right! The install was more challenging because it was rather thick and the screws put on by Hercules were no longer tall enough to fully assemble the new NVMe sandwich I just made. I have an assortment of tiny fasteners so I found some that were the same thread but slightly longer and used those. Problem solved. Both NVMe drives are now mounted in these PCIe risers and work perfectly! I did have to use 'Clover' which helps the BIOS hand off the storage to the OS. Was easy to do and works perfectly. I do wish these risers had instructions and better fasteners that were not installed with so much torque. Otherwise, they work perfectly and are slim. Overall, I'd buy them again because they work. 4 stars due to lack of instructions.

I installed this in a Godlike mobo in the bottom pci slot. Removed the heatsink, and put low profile ones on to get around the power connector that would have been in my way. Installation was easy. Great value! Worked flawlessly!

This is super fast. I copied 329gb data from a drive in this to another ssd in less than 3 minutes. For those who "think" there is no retaining screw, it's kind of confusing but what you do is unscrew the gold piece from the card from the screw underneath, then put the ssd in the slot, put the slotted part of the ssd into the skinny part of the gold piece and line the threads up with the hole the screw came out of.. and screw it back together. you do not put a screw into the top of the gold piece. Also note, if you have a WIFI/Bluetooth card inside the pc, this card can interfere or make the Bluetooth or wifi act funny because of the power draw of the card. If you need wifi/bluetooth and this card... and you have issues, try using a Bluetooth and or WIFI USB adapter instead.

Cet adaptateur Sabrent permet d’ajouter facilement un SSD M.2 NVMe à un emplacement PCIe, offrant ainsi une solution idéale pour ceux qui veulent profiter des performances d’un SSD rapide sans emplacement M.2 disponible sur leur carte mère. L’installation est simple et rapide, le SSD est bien maintenu et reconnu immédiatement sous Windows. Le dissipateur en aluminium avec tampon thermique aide à garder des températures stables, ce qui est un vrai plus pour éviter la surchauffe lors d’une utilisation intensive. Compatible avec les formats 2230, 2242, 2260 et 2280, il offre une grande flexibilité. Fonctionne parfaitement en PCIe 3.0 X16/X8/X4 et assure un bon débit, proche des performances d’un port M.2 natif. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix pour booster un PC sans se ruiner.

Thankfully, it worked first-time in the only PCIe slot that I had available (in my Acer Aspire desktop). The installation was even easier than I expected - it doesn't use a mounting bracket because it actually sits completely inside the case. I've had a few Sabrent products and they are always very well engineered and built to high standards. I attached the supplied silicone heat pads which transfers the SSD heat to the big integrated heatsink. The heatsink keeps the heat level down much better than the usual small external NVMe USB enclosures. I'm amazed at the low cost - less than 15 quid! It's a real high quality bargain! Compact size fits perfectly and it's a speedy installation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

Apreciei a qualidade do produto, aliás consultei o site do fabricante... Fácil de instalar, não causará danos ao Pciex. Sim, barramento é X4, rodando com SSD Crucial M.2 P3 500MB. [obs. Pciex Asus sabertooth 990FX é 2.0, conforme foto, velocidade de leitura e gravação foi a máxima adquirida para este Pciex 2.0... SSD é para Pciex 3.0.] RECOMENDO o produto e vendedor, produto chegou antes do prazo estipulado pelo Amazon. Obs. Para este modelo de Main board, afim de fazer boot Windows 10, tive que atualizar para a última versão de BIOS afim de ser detectável SSD M.2 NVME, então é obrigatório consultar compatibilidade de funcionamento da Main board para com este periférico SSD M.2 NVME.

Amazing

Nice Product.easy to install and it's a nice Technology for old motherboard.Upgraded Pc without Invest lots more money at all.Problem Shortout with it.Thanks to Seller.
