SABRENT 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

Works exactly as intended, speeds seem phenomenal and I can play games on the ssd just fine. Easy to set up as well.

This worked perfectly as an adapter for an NVMe drive. Well made. Directions are not good with respect to heat-sink foam. You have to select the appropriate thickness that fits on top of the NVMe drive and sticks to it and the aluminum heat sync case. Also have to back the screw out that is used to hold the NVMe in place. I put a WD Blue 1TB drive in it and it screams.

i use two of them on my ATX mobo. this is what the speeds look like for file transferring between them. about 3/4 as good as m.2 but it works reliably and without any fixing. my drives stay recognized reliably across reboots (good when using /etc/fstab permanent mounting on linux). very satisfied customer. however, i would not recommend using the provided thermal tape pad things. they degrade quickly and leave a slightly moist residue on the nvme chip. 99% isopropyl can go a long way for these things. no need for any thermal pads at all, unless you are moving hundred of gigs on the regular you will be just fine with the internal air pockets cooling it off. just buy it if you are debating about it.

I wish I took a photo while assembling these. I have an older gaming rig that does not have native NVMe support so I took a chance on this product and purchased two of them for my WD_BLACK series NVMe storage modules. When they arrived, they were packaged nicely and felt heavy. The heat sync is milled and powder coated quite well. The quality of the solid state board is well produced with nice solder joints and quality components. What lacked was: Instructions! Normally, I wouldn't care about that as these should be easy to assemble. However, that wasn't the case here because I was dealing with heat protection in the form of applicable heat absorption materials and I wanted to get it right. Each kit comes with two thin strips of heat tape and one thick strip. The modules themselves come per-assembled so you have to remove four small fasteners. Not a big deal, right? Wrong. The fasteners were put on by someone who must be ripped with strength because in both of my kits I received, all four of the fasteners were put on so tightly that I needed to use vice grips on my jeweler bit to get them off! Each would finally succumb to the "snap" as the screw finally released its torque and came out. Good grief! Not necessary! Once apart, it wasn't obvious which heat strip went where. Would have been great to have a one-sheet diagram showing how. Eventually, I think I figured it out but it still seemed off because the thicker heat strip is what I used between the NVMe chip and the riser board. Hope that was right! The install was more challenging because it was rather thick and the screws put on by Hercules were no longer tall enough to fully assemble the new NVMe sandwich I just made. I have an assortment of tiny fasteners so I found some that were the same thread but slightly longer and used those. Problem solved. Both NVMe drives are now mounted in these PCIe risers and work perfectly! I did have to use 'Clover' which helps the BIOS hand off the storage to the OS. Was easy to do and works perfectly. I do wish these risers had instructions and better fasteners that were not installed with so much torque. Otherwise, they work perfectly and are slim. Overall, I'd buy them again because they work. 4 stars due to lack of instructions.

Very simple to use and a quality product. Easy to install. The only drawback is the tiny screws. The included screwdriver works but I would suggest a magnetic screwdriver. I have above average size hands and the screws made it slightly difficult. I will buy again if I need another expansion!

Great card, but the instructions ghosted me on the final step. Installed this little beast to give my old PC a much-needed kick in the PCIe lanes, and wow it's like giving a Vespa rocket fuel. It does exactly what it promises: makes your NVMe SSD feel like it was born to be there, nestled into your motherboard like it’s always belonged. BUT (and this is a lighthearted “but”), the instructions were about as helpful as a GPS that only gets you 95% of the way to your destination and then says, “You got this.” Nowhere did it mention putting the cover back on. You know, the part that protects your very expensive, very fast storage from flailing around like a toddler on espresso. Also included were these mysterious little thermal padding strips (thermal pads! That’s the word!) which I, a humble user with no mind-reading ability, had to Google to figure out. At first, I thought they were futuristic chewing gum or abstract art. Spoiler: they go between the drive and the heatsink. Not between your stress and sanity. In the end, once I figured it out (read: watched YouTube and got gently roasted by Linus Tech Tips in my imagination), everything worked perfectly. It’s solid, sleek, and fast. Just be prepared to finish the installation like a puzzle with the last piece hiding under the couch. Would buy again. Would just also like to have a small chat with the instruction writer. Preferably over tea.

worked perfectly to connect a Samsung 990 EVO SSD to an Asrock B450 Pro 4 motherboard. the heat sink enclosure works great, drive temperature is sitting very steady at 41-43ºC

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.

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.

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.

Werkt perfect en precies zoals omschreven voor mijn 1Tb Samsung EVO 970 Nvme SSD, in combinatie met een Gigabyte X99 moederbord. Read speed 3535 Mb/s en write 3050 Mb/s. Voor de bijgeleverde blauwe koelstrips wordt in de manual niet toegelicht hoe ze gebruikt kunnen worden. Ik heb 1 dikkere strip onder de SSD geplaatst en 1 dunnere variant bovenop de SSD. Er zijn Youtube videos installatie videos te vinden, zoals deze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB87WNisVJA.

12/11/2025 monté sur un hp proliant microserver gen7 N40L sur le port pcie 16x2 et reconnu par un système debian 13 sans problème. la vitesse avec hdparm -tT est de +-1700MB/sec (cached) et 852MB/sec (buffered). l'adaptateur est couplé à un ssd (netac) NVMe 250 Go (PCIe 3.0, 3D NAND, NVMe, M.2 Gaming SSD) jusqu'à 3000 Mo/s pour PC NAS. sur le ssd une database postgres de plus de 150GO répond parfaitement. rien à dire pour le moment, il faudra voir avec le temps ...

simple à mettre en œuvre, qualité au rendez vous, permet d'utiliser un ssd nvme sans avoir de port dédié ou dans rajouter !
