Product Description

Without M, this adapter can be used with NVME SSDs. In the motherboard, there is a slot 2.
It can read and write up to 3200 MB/s in random mode and 1500 MB/s in write mode, much faster than USB-A or USB-C.
It supports PCIe X16 however it does not support PCIe X1 / X4 / X8. Support M at all costs. (Key B) 2 SATA SSDs
It includes both a heat sink and a thermal pad that can maximize the overall performance of the NVME SSD.
You will need to locate and install the NVMe driver when you can't find any drives through the Device/Disk Manager if the SSD's website isn't accessible.

Questions & Answers

I don't understand why the dimensions of products are not listed. Is it really that important to know the dimensions of packages?

Due to the fact that the card runs on PCIe X 16 it is sized to fit into a PCIe X 16 slot in a desktop case. As indicated by the package dimensions, the product may be considered to meet the requirements above.

Is it possible to use the Intel 660p M. A couple of 2280s with 2TB of nvme in a PCIe 3 slot. Are we able to use the converter with the 0 x4 3D NAND internal solid state drive?

Using this adapter, you can use Intel 660p SSDs.

It is going to work on an x16 slot that's used as an x4 slot?

It's fine, thank you.

The casing has a logo on it, doesn't Do the LEDs also work on this device?

It's not and it's not

Despite its simplicity, it worked very well with my Corsair MP510 240 GB drive
5/5

I was pleased with the package the device arrived in This is a very sturdy product! Four spare heat exchangers are available as well Sink screws are provided, as well as a tiny screwdriver. My guess is that if you have a faster M2 device, the problem will be solved. If you were to use the Samsung EVO 960, the following speeds would be attained In the case of my MP510, I has achieved 1626MB/s Read AND 1052MB/s Write. No drivers weren't necessary, despite the fact that my motherboard firmware does not support NVME devices. It was found by Windows 10 right away! A dislike for A transparent film may be difficult to remove from the 2 silicone pads as there are no instructions, specifications, etc.

It works well on a MacPro4,1 upgraded to a The device is installed in my Mac Pro Tower 4,1 (flashed to 5,1), and I am using a 1TB ADATA XPG SC8200 Pro NVMe SSD as the Boot Drive for Mojave, with a Radeon RX-series GPU
5/5

It seems to be rock solid now that I've reseated the adapter in the second (16x) slot for the 580 Graphics Card. There was some initial instability, but it's now solid once again. In the same way that I did with my previous OWC SATA 3 PCIe card, I had to put a small felt spacer between the card and the graphics card in order to provide plenty of Obviously not as fast as this NVMe card actually could go, but still over three times faster than the SATA 3 SSD I had in it for reading, and over ten times faster when it came to writing at 1500MBps for both due to limitations in A 4x interface is not available. This particular NVMe card would be limited to the speed of *3000MBps on the PCIe 2 of these Macs, but a bridged card would be required. The slot can support up to 16 lanes.

I like the fact that it is a plug-and-play device
5/5

It is all you need to do is attach the NVME SSD to the adapter, then plug the adapter into an available PCI3 x4 slot, and then reboot your computer . In the case of a brand-new SSD, it will need to be initialized. The first time I installed this adapter, I used the heat sink, but then I tried it without it and it seemed to work fine without the heat sink if the computer had adequate ventilation. As far as I can tell, it made no difference in my case. I'm so used to it now that I'm not using My SSD in the M is the same one I have in the The benchmark scores are the same regardless of whether an adapter is used in slot 2 or not.

It boots up like a charm
5/5

The AMD Phenom X6 powered system is the perfect upgrade! When it comes to installation and functionality, this product was exactly what we needed. The installation was performed on a x16 PCI card ASRock 970M Pro3 motherboard includes an E Connector that can handle x8 speeds. Afterward, it was instantly recognized and bootable! All I had to do was update my BIOS. If you need an extra boost for a more "seasoned" desktop system, this is the option for you! By the way, I've been using this for audio and video editing, and it works perfectly!.

Performance is on par with expectations, and it is It was tested with a Teams Group MP33 1TB and a Intel Z270 processor
5/5

At first, the installation stated that it was configured with PCIe 3 connections. Performance will be crippled because of the sequential read/write limit of 0 x1. It runs as PCIe3 now after I reseated the NVMe drive and PCIe card. NVMe drives can operate at speeds up to their rated sequential speeds thanks to 0 x4. ** * S. It is currently 25 degrees T. The following temperatures are measured without a heatsink, without a load The idle and load temperatures are set at 53 °C and 75 °C respectively, with the heatsink attached. A temperature of 45°C and a temperature of.

The laptop I killed has died The following warning has been issued
3/5

This is what I would have given I wish I could give it 10 points, but 1 is the best I can do. I bought this adapter for my Dell T7500 server so I can run it at higher In actuality, my motherboard completely shut down after I installed this adapter and refused to boot up into bios. The best I could do was to recover it back, but I ended up buying a new motherboard. This was a huge disappointment and I not only lost money, but also precious time trying to fix this problem, and also waiting days for new motherboards to arrive. Thank you.

The card is great, but the heatsink does not have gaps so all of the NVMe profiles cannot be cooled
4/5

It works fine, but the heat sink contact is not as good as it might be because it needs to support a wide range of NVMe thicknesses. It was unnecessary to put the original heat sink on the card I swapped it for a new NVMe heat sink and attached it as a unit, leaving the original I am performing very well on this way and I have full contact with the nvme heatsink front/back and the back of the nvme heatsink to the PCIe There are some issues running this in an older computer I have no issues with my nvme system.

This product is of great quality, is a great value, and is very easy to install! When I first considered putting my NVMe in an adapter, I was a little nervous However, my motherboard only has space for one on-board drive
5/5

The drive I wanted to install had already been taken, but I wanted to add a larger second NVMe drive. It was really simple to insert the drive into the adapter and the performance was actually better than I expected. In that case, if you need NVMe performance, however you don't have a slot available, this is your solution There is no better solution than this.
