GLOTRENDS PA12-HS10 2-in-1 M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink, For One M.2 NVMe SSD and One M.2 SATA SSD, Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 Size

For the 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.

Testing conditions:

• CPU: Intel I5-11400
• MB: ASUS H510M-F
• OS: Windows 10
• M.2 SATA SSD: Samsung 860 EVO
• M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD: Samsung 980 PRO

Please note:

• 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

• Please note that the upper slot is only used for M.2 SATA SSD, and the down slot is only used for M.2 NVMe SSD. Can not 2 x NVMe SSD or 2 x M.2 SATA SSD.
• M.2 SATA signal and M.2 NVMe signal are totally separate.
• M.2 SATA signal goes through SATA bus, SATA cable needs to connect the adapter SATA port with the motherboard SATA port
• M.2 NVMe signal goes directly through the PCIe bus, which is the motherboard PCI-Express X4 interface

Difference between M.2 SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe SSD

• B-Key: almost M.2 SATA SSDs and older NVMe SSDs
• M+B Key: M.2 SATA SSDs and some NVMe SSDs
• M Key: M.2 NVMe SSDs using the PCIe x4 bus

Max speed between M.2 SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe SSD

• The max speed of M.2 SATA SSD is 400-550Mbps
• The max speed of M.2 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVMe SSD is 2000-3300Mbps
• The max speed of M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVMe SSD is 4000-6700Mbps

• 10°C - 30°C cooling effect (varies by environment)
• Aluminum body with groove design: 22x70x10mm (LxWxH)
• Thermal Pad: conducting heat from M.2 SSD to M.2 heatsink, 2 W/mk Thermal conductivity, low viscosity, insulation
• Easy installation: Using rubber bands (First) and then metal clips (Second), bind the M.2 heatsink to the M.2 SSD

1. Remove the transparent film from both sides of the thermal pad
2. Put the thermal pad on SSD, press lightly
3. Using rubber bands (First) and then metal clips (Second), bind the M.2 heatsink to the M.2 SSD
4. Screw M.2 SSD to the adapter
5. M.2 X4 adapter plugged into PCIe X4/X8/X16 slot
6. SATA Cable connects M.2 X4 adapter with the motherboard SATA port
