Works as promised, honestly it seems super well made and with all the thermal putty they give you it’s a great buy

I have purchased this twice and happy with the product. One slight issue. They include 3 different thermal pads and never tell you how to select the proper one. I have found the thickest works best for the Samsung 990 Pro. I suggest to dry fit the pads and use the one that fits the snuggest as you need good contact, remembering that screwing the backplate on will further compress the pad. It needs a tight fit to disperse the heat. The screws are small so make sure you have don't lose them.

Cet adaptateur Sabrent permet d’ajouter facilement un SSD M.2 NVMe à un emplacement PCIe, offrant ainsi une solution idéale pour ceux qui veulent profiter des performances d’un SSD rapide sans emplacement M.2 disponible sur leur carte mère.L’installation est simple et rapide, le SSD est bien maintenu et reconnu immédiatement sous Windows. Le dissipateur en aluminium avec tampon thermique aide à garder des températures stables, ce qui est un vrai plus pour éviter la surchauffe lors d’une utilisation intensive.Compatible avec les formats 2230, 2242, 2260 et 2280, il offre une grande flexibilité. Fonctionne parfaitement en PCIe 3.0 X16/X8/X4 et assure un bon débit, proche des performances d’un port M.2 natif.Un excellent rapport qualité/prix pour booster un PC sans se ruiner.

Every once in a while, you buy an inexpensive device that works exactly as described and saves a ton of time and effort. This is one of those.Watched the Sabrent installation video on the product page, had a 2TB MSI Nvram installed into the adapter in about 10 minutes, plugged it into the 4x PCIe slot in the oldest machine I have (and I mean THE OLDEST - an Abit_IP35-Pro motherboard whose last BIOS update was almost 8 years ago) running Windows 10.Fired it up, device and Nvram were recognized immediately and a quick test showed about 950K R/W performance which was good enough for what I was doing - moving about 1.5TB of data from a hard drive on that machine to another machine.I hit it hard, writing that 1.5TB of data continuously for hours until it was done, and the Nvram's temp never rose above 35C. That heatsink arrangement is fabulous.I see some reviews saying the thing isn't locked down with no backplane support. Unless you plan on strapping the machine to the back of a motorcycle which you're then going ride cross country through the mountains, it's plenty stable enough.A little extra bonus is that the heatsink has four small blue LEDs at the top that flash when you access the device.Highly recommended as way of putting an (extra) Nvram stick in your machine.

This adapter works excellently, It's quick to install, and is no hassle. It slots right into the PCIEx16 slot and accepts any m.2 drive. I use it for my server to add an additional M.2 slot for storage and it works great!

Another ASM 2812 based card with a decent design and price, good for using the frequently ignored 4 lanes from a chipset. No bifurcation needed, even motherboards with support almost never include non-cpu lanes.It is only pcie 3.0 but still plenty of bandwidth for fast bulk storage and random I/O, the flashy bulk sequential graphs that every marketing team loves to hype for SSDs is barely used at all in the real world.No problems with drives being visible natively to UEFI and OS, all the vendor related tools work with no difference compared to a regular m.2. I had four P31s with a storage space configured from another system, it was picked up and mounted automatically.The heatsink attachment is a little bit fiddly since it uses corner screws with springs on posts that insert through the card, but this gives a snug fit that ensures the thermal pad is applying even pressure to everything. Don't use drives with bundled heatsinks, naked drives only.The PCB and heatsink are well finished & clean. No fan (no thanks to little card fans) but the heatsink is substantial enough, as long as your case has any airflow heat should not be a problem. Drive temp sensors were well under limits even after a total clone of the array.2280 or shorter only, 22110 is fairly uncommon now but you still see some server pull models on fleabay that use the extra length to add PLP.

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 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.
