I’ve got a couple of the old ones and lost a few screws with them, these are much better and faster to load and it even came with a spare locking pin for when you loose the one in the unit. I guess I’d have to agree with someone here that said the locking pin was kind of flimsy but that’s a miner issue. Being able to plug SSD’s into your PCI works great on Supermicros because you can dupe the M2 mounted on the motherboard with Clonezilla without removing it and boot the new copy for testing.

Very easy to use

My desktop PC came with one M.2 slot, and it’s already being used. A while ago I bought another m.2 NVMe SSD when it was on sale, even though I didn’t have a way to use it without getting an enclosure or something… I saw this and decided to try it as I had an empty PCIE slot on my mobo. It’s pretty easy to setup and get using. Really straight forward. I like that it has a built in heatsink, as my other m.2 card is just stuck in the slot with nothing to dissipate heat.I had pretty good read and write speeds with the SSD I installed to it. I didn’t record the speeds, but they were definitely fast.

I have maxed out my M.2 slots on my motherboard and wanted to add another gaming drive to my PC without removing one of my other drives.This add-in card is perfect. My PC recognized it immediately and I was up and running in just a few minutes. Installation is simple and easy, just press the button on the back, open it up, add the thermal tape, put the M.2 into the slot, rotate the retainer to hold it in place and close the lid, it’s that simple.I have used Sabrent products for a long time and I haven’t run into any major issues with their products. So if you want to upgrade an older PC with an M.2 card or just add another drive to a newer one like mine, this is an inexpensive way to go.

This has to be my favorite pc upgrade, I unfortunately have a motherboard with only one NVME port and I really needed a second drive. Prior to finding this I was thinking of using an external usb-c adapter but this is so much better. It took a minute to install and worked perfectly and instantly. The speeds blow the usb option out of the water. The build quality is great and the price is such a tremendous value for the money.

My old desktop (AMD 970 chipset) only has SATA, and I wanted to have a storage upgrade option with better throughout.This lets me add an m.2 NVMe SSD to any computer (in theory) with a PCIe x4 (or larger) slot. I tried this in my free x16 slot. The connector is notched to allow x4, x8 or x16 slots which is weird because it’s only an x4 device. I found it to be a little bit wiggly in the x16 because it’s only held in on one end by the x16 video card tab and not by a PCI bracket on the other end. Maybe it HAS to be an x16 card for this reason. It’s not exactly insecure, but a more solid grip would be preferred.So what happened? Well, my computer doesn’t explicitly support NVMe in bios, so it has no way to boot from it, but windows recognized and was able to use the drive without any glitches. Except – apparently my old computer only supports PCIe 2.0, which limited my SSD to a weak 1400MB/s.I didn’t notice any heat buildup with this. The heatsink seems ample and seems to work. The thermal pad is extremely thick, and they include a thinner one, but I have no idea in what circumstance you’d use it. The clamshell design appears to clamp down the heatsink securely, and the button release on the end works as expected. The m.2 latch mechanism is easy to use (and they include a spare latch).

I’ve used so many of Sabrents NVMe adapters in builds, but having one that is toolless makes things so much easier.The heatsink on this unit also seems to be a little larger, leading to slightly longer time before it’s fully saturated, and on average drives seem to run cooler in general with this version over the older one with the 4 corner screws.If you need to swap drives out in your build or image a lot of drives, this could also come in handy in a pinch.The speeds of the drive are within the expected ranges for PCIe Gen 4 and lower, I did not have any gen 5 drives to try out. But I would expect them to be good. The build quality is excellent, drives are easy to install and the included and preinstalled thermal pads are good.Overall, very impressed with this one. It will be my go to recommendation for anyone needing a single slot NVMe adapter.

working with a micro ATX build isn’t always the most expansion friendly. Sometimes you have to sacrifice PCIE expansion slots for wifi, SSDs, USB3 cards, you name it. This little guy makes it possible to utilize both an add in wifi card that slots into an m.2 wifi slot on the motherboard, and uses attached antenna that connect to one of your pcie expansion cut outs on the case AND an M.2 SSD in the corresponding PCIE slot that would otherwise be unusable.This thing is well built, works as advertised, and saved me the headache of not having 2 SSDs in a compact build.I HIGHLY recommend this adapter card if it fits your use case.

My gaming setup already has one SSD, but unfortunately, I have no additional SSD spots. So I have been looking for a solid PCIe card that could house another SSD. This one fit the bill nicely. With the built in HeatSink, this baby should run cool, and fits on my mainboard perfectly. No other hardware or mounting needed. Everything you need is included.It looks to be very well made, and once my new 2TB SSD arrives, will get to take this baby for a ride. I don’t see any issues with this for what I need it for, and I will update the review if anything changes. But as of now – it’s exactly what I needed and am very pleased with the quality, fast shipping, and tech built into this card.5 Star Product!

This tool-free NVME to PCIe x16 is a great way add another NVME to the PC.This card is truly one easiest card to install NVMe.Instruction can’t be more intuitive as well.With my ASRock B660M board, I have 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 slot I left vacant.Until now.I couldn’t test PCIe 5.0 x16 speed because of my hardware limitation, but it meets the spec.With P41 from Hynix, the card was easily pushing towards the speed limit of PCIe 3.0 of my mobo at both reading and writing at above 3500MB/s.With the motherboard’s heatsink, my Kingston SSD was running up to 58C hot, after running Crystal Disk Mark.With this card, it runs slightly cooler, at 52C, after couple runs of Crystal Disk Mark.So that’s an improvement of 6 degress in Celsius.
