GLOTRENDS PA09-HS10 M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink for 2280/2260/2242/2230 M.2 NVMe SSD

Option: M.2 Adapter with 0.4 inch Heatsink

M.2 Adapter with 0.12 inch Heatsink
M.2 Adapter with 0.4 inch Heatsink

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. Comes with M.2 heatsink kit (22x70x10mm aluminum body) for cooling up to 5°C-30°C.
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
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 (Note: Some motherboards are too old to support OS booting. In this case, M.2 NVMe SSDs can be used as storage disks)
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 PC

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 installation, remove the bootable usb drive, 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 need to be Initialized and formated before OS recognize it.

PCI-Express X4 Full Speed

M.2 PCIe adapter supports PCIe X4 full speed and is PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0/1.0 compliant.
To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed, your motherboard and CPU, and M.2 PCIe SSD should all support PCIe 4.0, otherwise can not reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed
Intel CPU 11th generation and above support PCIe 4.0 feature
