Revived my legacy system
Exactly what I needed to put a fast SSD into my legacy editing rig. The card is sturdy, and the thermal pads make good contact with the drive. Highly recommended.

Easy upgrade for office PCs
Bought five of these to upgrade our office computers. They were recognized immediately by Windows 10 and 11. Great way to extend the life of our existing hardware.

Good value, runs slightly warm
Works great for expanding storage on my workstation. The aluminum body acts as a heatsink, but it does get warm under heavy load. I added a small fan nearby just to be safe.

Perfect solution for old desktops
This adapter allowed me to use my new NVMe drive on an older motherboard that lacked an M.2 slot. Installation was straightforward, and the speeds are exactly what I expected from a PCIe 3.0 connection.

Seamless performance
No drop in performance compared to native M.2 slots. My game load times are incredibly fast. The build quality feels solid and the bracket fits perfectly in my case.

Works on Linux without drivers
Plug and play on Ubuntu 22.04. No extra drivers needed. The only reason for 4 stars is that the included screws were a bit difficult to thread initially.
Q: What is the maximum length of the SSD this card supports?
A: The card supports standard lengths including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. You can adjust the mounting screw position to fit these sizes.
Q: Will this work if my motherboard only has a PCIe x1 slot?
A: Physically, the card will not fit into a PCIe x1 slot as it requires a x4 interface. However, it will work in any x4, x8, or x16 slot.
Q: Can I boot my operating system from a drive installed on this card?
A: Boot support depends entirely on your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI. Most modern boards support it, but older systems may only recognize it as a secondary data drive.
Q: Is a low-profile bracket included for small form factor cases?
A: Yes, the package includes both a standard height bracket and a low-profile bracket to ensure compatibility with various case sizes.
Q: Does this support SATA-based M.2 drives?
A: No, this adapter is designed specifically for NVMe protocol drives. It will not work with M.2 SATA SSDs.
