Easy to install and worked for me once I got a few glitches on my computer squared away.
Provides fast storage directctly attached to 4 PCIE lanes.
Bought Asus 690 TUF motherboard with 5 m.2 slots and only 4 motherboard SATA connectors. I needed more SATA connectors for the file server. Bought 2 of these to connect 12 additional drives. Everything works without any driver install or problems. Speed is the same as the motherboard SATA ports. Came in nice package with screwdriver and m.2 standoff and screw.
Cheap, simple, works.
I upgraded my computer to a Rysen 5 5600 and the expansion slots were not exactly like my old mother board. I needed more SATA drive ports and this gave them to me.
Worked well and at Gen3 speeds (max my old board does) Cheap Easy to install Cheap Brought good new life to a aged machine running unraid No drivers needed. Unraid is Linux. Not tested booting windows on bare metal but VMs all work better than ever.
easy install no drain of speed on a pcie 3.0 ssd worth it ---to get out of messing with those TINY screws down in a crowded case
-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu
Even on an older motherboard it was still detected.
This board installed quickly and was automatically configured by Windows 11. All standard usb ports are occupied and function nominally. Have not used USB-C ports yet but will soon and expect the same result.
Simple Installation. Comes with a screwdriver and a screw. Truly Plug & Play with Windows 10 if your Motherboard already has support for NVMe. Does not even look for a driver, it just works. Great way to add fast NVMe drives.
- Very easy to install
Allowed high speed copy to from USB3 devices on same adapter unlike the x1 four and seven port adapters I tried. The chipset, Renesis, is also compatible with VIA USB3 adapter chipset. Was able to burn blue-ray from external 6TB USB3 drive to external USB3 Asus blue-ray recorder at full speed.
Installed m.2, plugged it in the PCI slot and fires it up. Drive showed up no fuss. Windows 11.
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to install the correct drivers as I don't have a disc drive on this pc. but windows was able to get it done without me doing anything.
