Converting one PCIe X4/X8/X16 slot on the motherboard to the M.2 Key M slot allows you to install M.2 NVMe SSD into this Key M slot.
FCC and CE certified, Highly Reliable, and Stable PCIe X4 Full Speed: The M.2 NVMe SSD speed is unaffected, just as if it was installed on the motherboard
No limit to the capacity of the M.2 NVMe SSD: Support 2T/4T (Note: Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 PCIe (NVMe/AHCI) 4.0/3.0 M.2 SSD, not support M.2 SATA SSD)
To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 (64Gbps) full speed, the CPU and motherboard PCIe slot and PCIe M.2 SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features (Note: PCIe 4.0 is not supported on Intel CPUs below 11th generation)
Support OS Booting: Reinstall the OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI boot from this M.2 NVMe SSD
OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Not support Windows 7). The new M.2 NVMe SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host.

NVMe drive as boot drive or storage drive?
For NVMe boot drive, you need to reinstall the OS (windows 10 64bit/Windows 11 is recommended).
First, you need to prepare a bootable USB drive and OS (windows 10 64bit/Windows 11).
When reinstalling the system, please select GUID Partition Table (GPT).
OS will reboot after completing the installation, remove the bootable USB drive, and enter BIOS to setup UEFI boot mode
For NVMe storage drive, Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS
Windows 7 can not support NVMe drive
Brand new NVMe drive needs to be initialized and formatted before OS recognizes it.
