Piplus M.2 NVMe SSD Converter Adapter Expansion Card for PCIe/PCI Express , Full Speed M Key Interface 3.0 4X 8X 16x PCB with Gel Pad , Compatible M.2 NVME SSD

Comes with screwdriver and Thermal pad for fitting the M.2 drive. There's copper mesh under the card to dissipate heat.I've combined this with Samsung 970 EVO+ 250Gb drive on to Asus Z87-Pro Mobo (Attached Crystal DiskMark benchmark ). Had to mode BIOS to boot from NVME and the results are good (not great due Mobo limitations, details below).Must buy for anybody who want NvMe drive in their PC that doesn't have the M.2 slot on-board and but have spare 4x PCIe slot.I have attached thermal pad & heatsink (brought separately), and temperatures seems to top at 60C max. (Perhaps because my interface bandwidth is limited). I think your SSD will do fine even without a heatsink for regular use.Please read the Mobo Manual carefully as older board like mine (say Z87) cannot enable max bandwidth when you already have populated GFX card and other Misc. cards in other slots. In my case I have 3x PCI 3.0 x16 slots, but 1st slot is already occupied by GFX card, using this card on 2nd slot will cut my GFX PCIe bandwidth from x16 to x8, so resorted to the third slot and this again has limitation of being limited to x4 PCIe Version 2.0 instead of 3.0.The Blue LEDS are little bit annoying, there are 4 of e'm (but matches my Cooler Master Cabinet LEDs).

Works fine. However the seller in her wisdom has sent only the hest sink sticker and not the heat sink. This is crazy.I agree the description and images do not show the geat sink, but i assumed it to be present as tbe heat sink sticker was shown.

Using this I was able to upgrade my 10 year old i7 machine with latest NVMe SSD. Good quality at reasonable price. Comes with thermal pads but no heat sink.

Using it in old motherboard which does not have m.2 socket. It supports 1800MB/S benchmark test of my Intel 660p 2TB very well. Must buy for old motherboards.

The adapter is very easy to install, just slide it in the pcie slot. To mount ssd on adapter you get a small screwdriver with the adapter. Quality is nice and it is working perfect.

This is very good adapter. Works perfectly with Samsung Evo NVME 250GB. You would see significant difference in M.2 Sata vs M.2 NVME installed in PCIe slot. Seller kept checking on the status of the product. Very good seller.

Very good product. Working perfectly. Performance is good. I'm using it with Samsung Evo 970. It working as good as the native m.2 slot.

Working as good as discribed.I never thought it wud work with my Old pc from 10 years a go.....
