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
- Remove the transparent film
- Put Thermal pad on SSD, press lightly
- Using metal clips and rubber bands, bind the M.2 heatsink to the M.2 SSD
- Insert M.2 SSD into Key M interface
- Screw M.2 SSD to the PCIe adapter
- M.2 PCIe adapter plugged into PCIe slot
- M.2 PCIe X4 Adapter
- M.2 Screw
- Standoff for 2230/2242/2260 position installation
- M.2 Heatsink
- Thermal Pad
- 2 x Metal Clips
- 2 x Rubber Bands

Full Covering 2280 Aluminum Heatsink for M.2 PCIe SSD:
GLOTRENDS passive heat dissipation solution full covering 2280 NVMe SSD (Aluminum Heatsink and Thermal Silica Pad) with 5°C- 15°C Cooling Effect (Varies depending on the environment). Economical and practical cooling method keep NVMe SSD at 50c level even long time loads, No more worry about suddenly throttle.
1) Aluminum body, Anodic Oxidation Surface Treatment
2)Groove Design: Greatly Increase the Heat Dissipation Area, with 5°C- 20°C Cooling Effect (Varies depending on the environment).
3) Item Size: 0.87 x 2.76 x 0.12 in.(22 x 70 x 3mm) Net Weight: 0.28 oz / 8g.
4)Heat-conducting Silica Gel Pad (Thickness: 1mm).
5) 2 optional fixing ways: Stainless Mental Clamps (Durable and no deformation even long term condition) and high temperature Rubber Bands (height adjustable for different height M. 2 SSD, but may be aging if used for a long time, even break)
6) Low Viscosity, Easy to Remove
To be noted:
1) Please remove the transparent protective films of Silica Gel Pad before using otherwise it will reduce the heat conduction effect;
2) Silica Gel Pad is Low Viscosity, will not cause damage to SSD.
Compatibility and Technical Support
1) GLOTRENDS NVMe adapter card is apply to all kinds of M. 2 NVMe/AHCI SSD, and transparent to the operating system and no driver required.
2) Supports any OS like Windows, Mac and Linux.
3) Go to NVMe SSD manufacture website for driver installation if your PC can not recognize M. 2 NVMe SSD.
4) Attention should be paid to win7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, which need addtional driver installation for NVMe SSD.
5) OS booting from NVMe SSD is a little complicated, Win10 is recommend.
Prerequisites include
1) OS support NVMe (Native or additional driver);
2) 64-bit OS for UEFI support. Consult motherboard manufactur
