Review: Works perfectly - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the nvme m.2 ssd to pcie x16/x8/x4 card support 4.0 speeds, or 3.0 only?**
A: Everyone is falling over themselves to give you the wrong answer. Two of these comments are referring to the hero vii and not the hero viii which the dark hero OP has is based on.

His board has 3 x16 slots, the top 2 to the CPU can either be configured for a single slot at 16 lanes, or x8 on both. The CPU only has 24 lanes total, and 4 go to the chipset 4 to the m.2 slot1.

Chipset works like a switch providing 16 more lanes are higher latency 
The 3rd slot is x4 wired pcie 4.0 to the chipset. 

So yes, he should be capable of 4.0 speeds if this adapter supported it. That he can't suggests he either used too many of the 16 lanes his chipset provides or this card can't provide 4.0 passthrough.

**Q: In re: to the sabrent nvme m.2 ssd to pcie x16/x8/x4 card with aluminum heat sink. why does paperwork that comes with the card says for x16 slot only?**
A: The physical form factor is for a 16x "slot" with the retaining tab/clip. This should provide adequate physical support since it does not use a bracket for the card slot. Depending on the mainboard/motherboard, Installing it in an 8x or 4x slot connector may not align properly or provide sufficient support.  Not all physical 16x slots are actually wired to support sixteen (16) PCIe lanes.  The same is true of smaller slots.  To get the full performance, the slot must support or be "wired" for at least four (4) logical lanes.  For instance I have it installed in a physical 16x slot that is only "wired" for four (4) lanes, which in this case happens to be the perfectly matched scenario.

**Q: Does this device require pcie lane bifurcation on the motherboard, or is it handled on the card itself?**
A: That is handled by the card itself. It has an ASMedia PCIe switch built in for broad compatibility.

**Q: With all slots populated, do the drives run at pcie 3.0 x1 speeds?**
A: Each drive can be independently accessed with up to PCIe 3.0 x2 lanes per M.2 slot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slight knowledge needed to use.
*by C***Y on December 9, 2025*

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.
