SABRENT M.2 SSD NVMe to PCIe Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink and Thermal Pad, for SSDs up to 16TB, M.2 NVMe to PCI-E converter 3.0 X4 X8 X16 Card (EC-PCIE)

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+++

No complaints, Worked out of the box, tested inside a Dell PowerEdge R730 server rack, no issues whatsoever, speeds where stable, as well as the temperature of the SSD well under control.

Worked great for adding a second drive to your system when you have spare pci slots. The included tools made it easy to put together and for the price its a good bit of kit, on a pci 16x lane you get the same high speed as what you would in a regular m.2 slot but I doubt it would be the same if you put it in a lower spec slot like x8 or x4 slow.

This is a well-priced single PCIE to NVME adaptor with a heatsink and heatpads to ensure that the NVME chips reach the heatsink. I tested this with a 1tb 980 in an older gen8 microserver which fits fine although will not give the full speed due to its older PCIE specification. The heatsink is held in-place using 4x screws and there are 3x sizes of thermal pads in the product i recieved. Adaptive sizes such as 2230-2280 are supported also, although id avoid a 2230 model as their small size means they wont generally have a ram cache by default. As this is a fixed size you might as well use the space ;) Performance was good and once i correctly applied the thermal pads plus heatsink it kept the 980 1tb at about 50c when stressing it and idling at about 33c under regular desktop style usage. The HP microserver gen8 its installed on has a big case fan that draws air over it so a passivly cooled case may run hotter.

Worked a treat ,easy install and came with multi sized thermal pads. bargain price. Currently running my home ai on the nvme no problems.

Worked perfectly in my old pc. It comes with 3 different thicknesses of thermal pad. Doesn't explain why or whether all pads should be used. I just used the thicker one as I wasnt sure whether the thin ones would make contact with the thermal plate once closed. Was easy too install in a pcie slot. For some reason it would not show up in my pcie 2 slot but did in my pcie 3 slot (all being x16 slots) That may be a conflict on my system as it already has 6 drives onboard! As of time of writing, very impressed at tge increase in speadvand ease of fitting. Would recomend.

This is a great adapter. It added an extra M2 ssd for my pc that I could use because I didn't have enough ports for them. Durability seems to be great and it's got a heatsink built in though you might need some thermal paste jsut to be on the safe side. Speed is depending on the card used. Easy to install and fit into PCI slot. And great value for cash.

Quick and easy to fit, works great

Una manera rápida de agregar un SSD M.2 a placas base que no tienen soporte nativo para este tipo de dispositivos, hay que tener en cuenta que se requiere que la tarjeta madre sea relativamente reciente, Intel de 8va generación en adelante y AMD Ryzen serie 3000 en adelante, gran compatibilidad con PCIe 3a generación o más reciente, muy buena velocidad de transferencia, muy superior a SSD's de 2.5" SATA.

After painstakingly searching for an add-in card for SSD without bifurcation and not sketchy AF, this is the one that Amazon recommended me. Finally, I can deprecate my 2x3TB HDD for 2x4TB SSDs! I can't remember, but in the UEFI, my 2 WD SN850X are detected without any issues, it's likely that it's bootable. Even in Windows, it doesn't need anything but to initialised the two NVME drives. Both are running at PCIE 3.0x2 speeds, roughly translates to 1.5 GB/s (Gigabyte per second), which is 2-3 times faster than traditional SATA SSD. I have yet to populate the remaining slots, therefore I do not know if there are any performance penalty if all drive are heavily utilised. For my use case, it's highly unlikely. Unfortunately, the Asmedia controller is limited to PCIE 3.0x4 support. Side note, I wish Sabrent uses a PCIE 4.0 support controller.

I got a Samsung 9100 SSD (PCIe Gen5) but the only slot I have that is Gen5 is the x16 GPU slot. I don't have a GPU in it since this is an Intel UNRAID box so I thought I would use an adapter to get this SSD working at full speed. I initially purchased a previous version of sabrent adapter and went cloning my old SSD with dd in linux. Well, it failed and dmesg showed the ssd disconnected. Full power cycle would bring it back, but it would fail again and again. I limited that slot to PCIe Gen4 and it worked fine which gave me a hint that the adapter wasn't designed for PCIe Gen5 (traces have to be specific length and there is smaller margin for error compared to PCIe Gen4). Anyway, I got this adapter and it works fine. I dd'ed 4TB from a different SSD and it didn't disconnect or fail in any way. So far this is the only adapter on amazon that I saw specifically mention PCIe Gen5 support.

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.
