M.2 NVME to PCIe 4.0 x4 Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink Solution

This is a great product that comes with a heat conducting thermal pad and a heat sink. It's plug and play works like a charm. Do note that this uses a PCIe x4 so make sure you either have a spare PCIe x16 which is basically the graphic card size or something 1/4th of the size. Most motherboards will have 2 of those and a bunch of PCIe x1. I ended up having to return this because I have the ASRock B450 Steel Legend (don't get this mobo) and the m.2 actually deactivates the second slot of the PCIe x16 which basically rendered this adapter useless. I was trying to upgrade from regular SSD into NVMe. Though I had mobo issues this product does work well and depending on your mobo it should perform as expected. Read and write tests with the WD-Dashboard ran 3000 mbps read and write despite the actual card rating 7300, but it is a Gen3 Mobo only so it's expected. Also there is a red like that blinks that tells that status of the NVMe, if you dont mind the light its great aside from that this is a pretty good product that works as intended.

This product is exactly what it should be, a straight forward, properly featured adapter. It even comes with an adequate heatsink and thermal pad to ensure good thermal transfers (this isnt really important, but it is nice to see for situations with inadequate cooling like SFF builds or servers). I have used this with a variety of differing NVME drives, of varying sizes, lanes, and PCIE gens with no problems whatsoever.

Love The M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter, works perfect. The problem I am having is the old HP computer I have will not boot from this M.2 NVME SSD due to the bios not able to recognize the M.2 NVME SSD. Oh well... The M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter card is doing its job and the transfer speed I am getting is as advertised for the M.2 NVME card. I downloaded a speed test program and all is good. Windows 10 can see and use the setup no problem once it is booted up. I now have to try and sell the M.2 NVME and adapter card and buy a SATA style SSD. I wish I had a computer that could use this setup but all my computers are too old to boot from a M.2 NVME SSD. I do recommend the M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter, buy it if you need it.

Product seems to work perfectly. At first, I was a little uncertain which fastener to use for what and wished the instructions were a little more comprehensive. I could have contacted support but hate to go through all of that. I figured it out soon enough. A full-page color manual or a link to an on-line equivalent would have saved me a couple minutes of uncertainty and earned the full five starts. Still very happy in the end.

Worked great no complaints at all

Installed this bootable M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter with aluminum heatsink on my HP 800G2 running Debian 13. Easy to install, fits well, and keeps the SSD cool. Performance is excellent with no throttling. Highly recommended!

I added this and a Crucial P3 Plus to a 10-year-old Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard. At first I thought it was great, then I started to notice my SATA SSD seemed to be loading and transferring faster. I loaded up CrystalDiskMark and realized the new NVME SSD was only getting about 200MB/s transfer rates, where my SATA boot drive was hitting 550MB/s. WAY lower than the P3 should've been hitting. I read up a bit on how my motherboard splits its PCIE 3.0 lanes, and printed right on the motherboard I had installed this adapter into a PCIE 3.0 x4 slot. So I this should've been okay. In my x8 slot I had my dual gigabit networking card (onboard LAN died years ago). I removed the network card to try freeing up lanes, but the NVME still only hit 200MB/s. I decided 200MB/s was fine for my networking, so I swapped the two cards. This put the NVME adapter into the x8 slot and network card into the x4 slot (as pictured). This unlocked the full performance. The new CrystalDiskMark jumped to 3,000MB/s! This adapter works great, just be sure you're getting the right number of lanes to the PCIE slot you use. Otherwise you might get stuck with poor throughput.

Works great.

Installed an Adata 256gb m.2 in this card and then installed the pcie card in my Mac Pro. Instantly worked, after formatting the drive. Works flawlessly. Best cheap pcie m.2 adapter I have used.

Excellent product but neither of the mounts it came with fit the pcie mount. It was slightly off, didn't use it as it was light weight. Apart from that, easy to install, very fast m2 ssd speeds. Recommended.

using this right now in my main PC. works great and gives fast data transfers

Product works with good speeds on the NVME. Although the heatsink might be an advertising gimmick but you can attach it to the NVME pretty easily. Price amounts to quality (you get what you pay for).

I'm very pleased with this adapter. Comes with both full size/small height pcie brackets. All the screws. Heatsink for the ssd(good for single sided nvme drives). Fit different sizes nvme drives. (not sata based nvme)-keep this in mind. All the screws.
