- very easy to install - adds NVMe support to older systems without NVMe or adds additional NVMe slot - LED looks good
-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu
Inexpensive. Gen4 NVMe or Gen3 if you need higher capacity at a lower price. Leave the top cover off and use NVMe with built-in heat-sinks if you like (as I did). Up to 12GB/s Write and almost 17GB/s Read speed with just 3 NVMe Gen4 (for now), 4th drive to be added soon and performance will therefore improve. And YES, that's Gigabyte per Second!!! While AM4 (AM5?) and other platforms wait for Gen5 NVMe... even THAT won't be this fast, expansive or especially as inexpensive as THIS solution. 4TB of this performance level isn't even $900. What those platforms are waiting for in 2 more years from now, I'm already enjoying over a year ago.. and will continue to for at least another 5+.
Nice design.. Connects NVMe drive to a PCIe x4, 8, 16 slot nicely.. Because the drive and adapter are so light, a case bracket is not needed..
It works, and the quality is very clean and neat. It has the standoff for the m.2 and screws.
- Very easy to install
It has four blue activity lights. In my well ventilated case, my Inland 1GB NVME idles at 28c and peaks at 59c running CrystalDiskMark. That’s without the heatsink. With the heatsink attached, it idles at 28c and peaks at 42c. The heatsink looks good and comes with plenty of thermal tape. The four tiny screws holding the heatsink were unnecessarily tight so be sure to press hard with the included driver to prevent stripping the screw heads.
- All necessary screws, stand-offs, and compound included - Easy guide and installation, make sure the hardware supports it. Installed on ASRock Professional XE with 4 drives. Works like a charm. - Great SSD temperatures without using the fan, below 40C
Absolutely no drivers/configuration was needed. This is literally plug and play (at least in Ubuntu Server 20.04).
I was a bit skeptic, not going to lie, on getting this. I finally said screw it and pulled the trigger. I'm a gamer, so I have quite a bit of peripherals going on with my setup. I got this to get more USB ports. Installing it was quite easy. I had to take out my Elgato HD60 Pro and put it in that slot, but that was fine considering I'm not a console gamer anymore & mainly play and stream PC games now. Install was simple, went right in. As for drivers, I didn't have to install any. My PC picked it up right away. I even plugged all of my stuff into the card before I did the first bootup with it, and everything worked!
I have been lazy and didn't even put on the heatsink properly, so it is without heatsink, but I think my cooling is fine anyway, but the product seems to work great!
Works well and really like that I dont have to hook up an external SATA power source. Speeds are good and match my other USB ports on my mobo.
Plugs right in. Drives connect right up. Heat sinks are a nice touch. Like it was made for my PC. Faster, quieter, cooler.
It fits and it works. No drivers needed in Windows 10
The USB 3 is fast.
Fast, easy installation with absolutely no problems. Plug and play.
On my motherboard I would have to disable my PCIe x1 slot to use my M.2, which I could not do because of a sound card uses this slot. I bought this card and paired it with a Samsung 860 EVO SSD 2TB - M.2 SATA . This combination worked well for me temps run at 31 degrees Celsius which is 87.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This will work without the heat shield. I did not like those little rubber bands, looks like an accident waiting to happen. I did apply the shield with the gel pad only, and so far it's holding; I will keep you posted if it falls off. The engineering department did not put too much thought into holding down this heat shield outside of that I believe this is a great product.
