## Overview

The SABRENT M.2 SSD NVMe to PCIe Adapter (EC-PCIE) is a high-performance PCIe 3.0 x16 card designed to convert M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 16TB into PCIe slots with maximum throughput. Featuring an integrated aluminum heatsink and thermal pad, it ensures optimal heat dissipation for reliable, sustained speeds under heavy workloads. Its compact, plug-and-play design supports x4, x8, and x16 PCIe configurations, making it an ideal upgrade for professionals, gamers, and system builders seeking fast, stable storage expansion.

## Description

Convert M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe with adapter, supporting fast data transfer and stable performance under heavy workloads with integrated heatsink and thermal pad.

Review: Works Perfectly! Really Great PCIe SSD Solution - 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+++
Review: Great piece of kit for adding another drive - Worked great for adding a second drive to your system when you have spare pci slots. The included tools made it easy to put together and for the price its a good bit of kit, on a pci 16x lane you get the same high speed as what you would in a regular m.2 slot but I doubt it would be the same if you put it in a lower spec slot like x8 or x4 slow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it support raid created within windows 11?**
A: As its seen as a normal drive, there is no reason why you can not use software raid in windows with this

**Q: Is this compatible with asus p8z77 v lx.
motherboard has a; 1 x pcie 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) slot.**
A: I have an Asus P8Z77 Premium and I know that these motherboards will not support booting from NVMe drives using Asus Bioses.
I do have a modded Bios which allows booting from NVMe drives. You would need to seek a modded Bios IMO to allow booting from such a device. If you search the web for the motherboard and NVMe it should show a number of options, however double check everything before using it to make sure it is for your motherboard because if your motherboard doesn't have Bios Flashback it is more risky. BTW I got my Bios from Winraids Level1Techs which is a recreated forum of the original Winraids forum.

**Q: Does this work with pcie 4.0 ssds?**
A: Yes, it works fine with PCIe 4.0, I am currently using it with a WD SN850.

**Q: Has anyone tried this with an x79 asrock extreme 9 motherboard? tia**
A: I use mine with ASUS PRIME X399-A Socket TR4/X399/DDR4/S-ATA 600/E-ATX Motherboard if this helps.
