PCIe Adapter for One M.2 NVMe Mkey and One SATA Bkey SSD, PCI-e 4.0 X4 Card Supports NGFF M2 M-Key or B-Key (M+B) SSD of Length 2280,2260,2242,2230, PCIe NVMe Adapter with SATA 3.0 Cable

If your PC's storage situation is starting to feel like a hoarder’s closet, this little adapter steps in like a minimalist with a screwdriver. It supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives, meaning it doesn’t judge your SSD's past, just plugs it in and gets to work. The card feels solid, not like some flimsy piece of tech you expect to snap in half mid-install. Bonus points for including a SATA cable, because we all know those things mysteriously vanish when you need them. Installing it isn’t rocket science, unless your case has the cable management of a spaghetti dinner. Slide the card in the PCIe slot, attach the drive, maybe fumble a bit with the screws like a mortal human, and you’re good to go. No drivers, no drama, just straight-to-the-point storage expansion. That said, if you’re expecting blazing fast NVMe speeds from a SATA drive, welcome to a very polite reality check. Speed is also dependent on your system setup, motherboard and speed of your drives in the first place. It supports a variety of M.2 lengths, so unless your SSD is shaped like a baguette, you’re probably covered. The LEDs are subtle and won’t turn your case into a nightclub. It's basically a humble little workhorse that adds solid versatility without setting anything on fire... which is a low bar, but hey, tech has surprised us before. The only hiccup is airflow. Sandwiching an NVMe drive into this card without a heatsink is asking for thermal drama, especially if your case runs hot. And while it says it supports PCIe 4.0, your mileage may vary depending on your motherboard and how many fingers you crossed during installation. Still, it’s a great little add-on for breathing life into old SSDs. So bring your own heatsinks for the drives! :D 👍 Good Things: Supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives Comes with a SATA cable (because of course you lost yours) Handles various drive lengths like a pro No drivers or complicated setup 👎 Bad Things: Can run hot with no included heatsink PCIe 4.0 performance depends on your setup Cable management could turn into an emotional journey Not ideal for super compact cases

This works well in an older PC to use an NVMe drive. Was able to get it working to run OpenMediaVault, using clover boot loader to boot the OS from it. I tried it with what I thought was an SATA drive as well, but it turned out to not be SATA (just a B+M notch nvme). So I don't have have an SATA drive to test with this, but now I have the option to run one.

Initial install on an Asus Rampage Formula IV motherboard with an Intel i7 3930k Used PCIe 8x lane with M.2 mount. Ubuntu Server 24.04 could see the drive during install and was able to install the OS to the M.2 drive - that said, the bios was (as I expected) not able to boot from the drive once installation was complete. 2nd OS install was with just the SATA slot filled using the pictured SSD. With the SATA cable connected there was no issue with installation or post installation boot into the Ubuntu OS. After OS installation, I removed the card, added the 1TB Rocket drive for additional storage, and was confronted with a GRUB error telling me the drive/partition containing the boot information was no longer attached. I have set all other drives in fstab with mounds using UUID as this will prevent (one hopes) Linux from reassigning drive destinations through sda - that worked for everything but the boot drive. The addition of the second drive continues to eliminate the SATA connected drive and boot OS. I will keep trying. All that said, good shipping speed, excellent price point, and so far very reliable.

I almost gave this product 4 stars. It's hard to assemble. However, it fulfilled my needs so well that I can't deny them. I need to add space to my Computer. I have so many extra NVME drives so now I have more of the faster storage. I've been fortunate in this manner thanks to this well-working product. I don't need any drivers, it was easy to fit into the motherboard even partially assembled, etc. The speed of the device makes it valuable. The price is awesome.

Hello, I have bought 2 of these adapters, I have a Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE board (rev. 1.0) with the updated BIOS, Windows 11, unfortunately after installing the adapter with a 1TB M.2 NVMe Kinstong disk when turning off the computer as soon as it turns off it restarts and turns on again, I changed the adapter for the other one since I bought both to check if it is a damage but the same thing happens, as soon as I remove the adapter from my PC my PC works normally. ---------------------- Hola, he comprado 2 de estos adaptadores, tengo una board gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0) con el bios actualizado, windows 11, desafortunadamente después de instalar el adaptador con un disco M.2 NVMe Kinstng de 1TB al momento de apagar el equipo apenas apaga se reinicia y prende nuevamente, cambie el adaptador por el otro ya que compre los dos para verificar si es un daño pero sucede lo mismo, apenas retiro de mi PC el adaptador mi PC funciona normalmente.

Pros: Inexpensive and easy to use. Just screw on the correct size of case slot cover to match your PC case, connect your M.2 drive and screw in the retention bushing to hold the drive in place. Install in your PCIe slot on your motherboard and presto you have another M.2 slot. Good speeds, my bios recognized it as a bootable drive (if you wanted to use it for your main drive slot). I'm not sure that all motherboards would be compatible booting from the PCIE interface so your mileage may vary. FYI: I just used the NVMe/PCIE portion, not the SATA portion. I do see reviews that the item doesn't utilize "both slots"....well I think they possibly aren't using it correctly. The SATA slot clearly is not compatible with NVMe drives. They are two different connections. The SATA portion also clearly states that it requires the SATA data cable to be attached to a SATA port on the motherboard in order to work. I would assume the SATA drive just draws power from the PCIE slot in that case. I don't have a SATA M.2 to test, but I'd bet you could use both slots at the same time as long as you had one drive as NVMe and the other as SATA with the SATA data cable properly attached to the motherboard. PCIEx4 slots can provide 25 watts of power and the M.2 spec caps the power usage at 7 watts per connection you'd have plenty of juice to run both at the same time. Cons: The brass bushings that hold the M.2 drives down are small and can be difficult to manipulate. It would be nicer if they just used the rubber inserts that pop in and hold the drive in place than fiddling with tiny metal screws and bushings. Wish it had two NVMe instead of one SATA as M.2 SATA drives aren't as common.

Works with HP Microserver Gen8. Running Linux. This machine is pre-NVME so SATA SSD on this card is essential. Had to use onboard Smart drive controller and set up logical drive with just SSD, then leave topmost 2GB of SSD empty, but allowed me to finally use SSD as boot device.

Works well but does not support 2 drives at same time. Installed in an older machine and no matter what I did the two NVME's will not show up at the same time. Overall for the price and HUGE increase in performance after switching from SATA to this drive it was well worth it.

Works perfectly with one misconception you can use both at once ! The description sounds like one kind of sad or the other but it's wrong am using big in truenas for cache / log drives

Super, sono rimasto molto soddisfatto, dovevo recuperare dati, da un ssd M2 PCIe, pensavo di non farcela, con questo dispositivo, é stato tutto molto semplice, non ho installato nessun drive, ho semplicemente montato ssd M2, e infilato nello slot PCIe del mio PC Desktop, ha funzionato alla grande, con una piccola spesa ho ottenuto dei grossi vantaggi, consigliatissimo.

Har testat den med två diskar samtidigt och det fungerade bra. Var lite bekymrad över att det stod "NVMe eller SATA III" i rubriken, utgick från att det skulle var "NVMe och SATA III" och så var fallet. Använder NVMe disken som C (system disk) och SATA III som D (data disk).

Bought two of these for adding in extra M.2's via PCIE lanes. Yet to test them as they were more of a side project. Brilliant build quality and sturdy too. Not expensive either. One M key and one B Key so one m.2 is straight PCIE then the other is handled by SATA.
