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.

This expansion card/adapter is wonderful! It fit effortlessly, was easy to install (both into the computer, and installing the M.2 drive into it), and worked flawlessly! It's also nice and compact such that it shouldn't interfere with anything else nearby (any other cards or cables/connectors). Unfortunately the instructions don't mention the thermal pads; there are three of them. One thicker one, and two thin ones. The thick one appears to be meant for the bottom of the drive (between the drive and this adapter card) if your drive is single-sided. Then one thin one goes on top (between the drive and the heatsink). If your drive is double-sided, then you would use a thin one on the bottom (between the drive and the adapter) instead of the thick one. It has screw holes to accommodate every size of M.2 drive, and it's incredibly easy to switch it between the holes. There are pockets in the bottom plate of the heatsink to accommodate the screw on the bottom of the circuit board that fastens the "nut" that holds the drive in place... HOWEVER, they unfortunately appear to have "forgotten" to mill out a pocket for the screw in the 2230-sized drive hole. This means that if you're using a 2230 M.2 drive in this adapter, the back plate isn't going to fit correctly, and will bow out because of it. It's not worrying to me as I don't plan to push this drive much, so it shouldn't generate too much heat, and it is already making good contact with the important part of the heatsink. I just find it disappointing that Sabrent seems to have "forgotten" this, given they have their own line of 2230 M.2 drives (what I used with this adapter). As an aside warning for those who may not be aware: older motherboards may not be able to "see" the drive within the BIOS, and so may not be able to boot from it. Even in that case, the drive should still appear and work flawlessly once you're inside your desired operating system (assuming you're using a modern OS that supports NVME over PCIe). This is not the device or Sabrent's fault. Overall, this is a great way to add an M.2 drive to any modern computer, whether the motherboard is just already fully populated, or if your motherboard doesn't naively come with M.2 sockets. I just suggest considering getting a drive that is any size other than the 2230 to use with it for an optimal fit and heat dissipation. That said, it's also not the end of the world though if you do choose to use a 2230-sized drive with it.

Easy installation, extra thermal padding, and works great. Certainly helped add more storage with minimal hassle.

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.
