It seems that the m.2 ssd using this adapter cannot be the boot device of the operating system on Dell's R640 server. I have tried to install almalinux9.4 on the m.2 nvme ssd of this adapter many times, but every time the installation is completed and the server is restarted, I can't boot into almalinux normally.

Der Artikel ist schlicht und bietet die Möglichkeit eine M.2 SSD auf einen U.2 Anschluss zu adaptieren.In meinem Fall habe ich mir die Rahmen in einer QNAP TS-h973AX-8G verbaut und damit die Cache-Beschleunigung aktiviert.Fazit: Guter Adapter und für meinen Zweck ideal.

Since the world has conspired to bring us motherboards packed with several M.2 slots and NVME which is piggish with PCIe lane usage, this adapter allows one to use these pre-allocated lanes for something more sophisticated than the simple, low-endurance M.2 SSD. The average user would be shocked to learn that M.2 SSD drives are expensive, low endurance, and low capacity compared to the u.2 offerings. Why the world is going along with this fisher-price technology, M.2, is beyond me. At least with this adapter we can leave the children, and their child-like SSDs behind.

The disk copier I have would not copy to SSD drives. This made it possible. It worked with no issues.

U.2 may be dead in the consumer space, but using this adapter we're able to convert the port to a standard M.2 port, since both use PCIe protocol natively. Now I can have 3x M.2 drives on my system natively!I'm pleasantly surprised to see full PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds through this adapter. My U.2 slot goes through the chipset (AMD WRX80), so 6.4 GB/s is about the max we can get. PCIe 4.0 U.2 ports connected directly to the CPU can get up to 7.5 GB/s. This adapter is simple and gets the job done.I do wish some kind of heat sink material was included with this adapter, as PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives tend to run hotter. But probably a non-issue unless you're hammering the M.2 drive with constant IO. Just mount this somewhere near the front of the case so the drive can get some airflow.

Our backplane was advertised to support U.3 SSDs, but after receiving these U.3 adapters and running into troubles the server vendor now isn't as sure about whether the backplane uses U.2 or U.3.For usual U.3 SSDs this isn't an Issue as they are ofter backward compatible with U.2, but the adapters (as clearly stated) are not.So I can only thank the support for helping us debug this issue.

Here is a fine product...even better if you get the right one. My point here is be careful to buy the correct adapter (and probably the SSD for it). I bought the listed unit before I opened the case on my laptop to check the plug type I had. I bring this up because I am a tech and should have known better ! My own machine, for Pete sakes and I messed up. These adapters are great, replacing the old mechanical drives. Of course it’s gotta be the correct one. The moral to the story ? This is an excellent adapter, nice and fast...a perfect compliment to the SSD assuming you get a nice fast SSD. Look ma ! No moving parts except for the fans.

This worked when I first installed it and thereafter for 2-3 weeks. Then I removed the drive it was connected to so I could fresh install Linux without affecting the SAS drive. It never worked again. Put it in different m.2 slots to make sure and it didn't work. Sometimes populating an M.2 can disable a PCIe slot or vice versa (check your motherboard manual) so I removed everything but this adapter and drive - no luck. Then I put the SAS drive on a PCIe card adapter and it works fine. So, this handy little adapter bit the dust but my drive still works (yea!). It's a shame because I'd prefer this method to taking up an extra PCIe slot. I think this is the first negative I've ever had with StarTech, usually have better luck. I assume all these type adapters are flakey, not just from StarTech.

YMMV but my Alienware R5 running Windows 10 Pro did not recognize a attached using this adapter. The Alienware has two U.2 connectors but the drive was not visible when attached to either one.The adapter seems very simple so it may be an issue with the computer -- all I can say is that the drive works great connected to the PCIe bus using .
