PA09-HS M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink for M2 NVMe SSD

For 13 quid, you cant go wrong. Worked first time and dead easy to install. I have a few NVMe drives knocking about and I thought Id test one of these adapters on one of the bigger ones. Very pleased and will probably get another one. Longevity yet to be determined but theres not a lot to go wrong with it.

Good product not much to add

Instructions are simple and installing a SSD is rather easy. No issues with it!

I thought I could get a NVMe to 2.52 sata enclosure - how wrong was I ? I got a NVMe to use as a standard SATA in this PC to future proof as most of my kit are laptops and they are all now NVMe, so thought I'd get one of those, get the 2.5 adaptor and use a spare SATA port and be done. - nope Saw this at a reasonable price, decent reviews. I did have a slot to use otherwise that would be a problem. I read the other reviews about the metal clips being suspect, so I simply went for the rubber bands (I had 3 in my pack) which hold the heatsink on pretty well - not sure if my drive needs it as it has a heatsink layer on it, but still Device was read by the machine and installed into the OS with no problems. Moving data around and I am getting pretty good speeds between the various drives in my device

As a result of some upgrades to my laptop I had a spare M.2 SSD floating about. Although the Gigabyte motherboard in my desktop has 2 M.2 slots one can only be used with 11th Gen Intel CPUs and mine is a 10th Gen. This cheap card means that I can now have a second M.2 running. It took about 5 minutes to fit (fit SSD to board, open desktop, fit card, close desktop). The drive was recognised immediately, no drivers needed and just worked. It's not as fast as the motherboard M.2 drive but I think this is expected given the speed of the PCIex slot I fitted it to, but it blows the 3.5" mechanical drive that this second M.2 SSD is replacing into the far distance So: cheap way to add a 2nd M.2 SSD, easy to fit, good performance. Very happy

Works a treat, just as fast as the built in m.2 slot on a fairly new pc with PCIe 4 slots and a nice speed gain in an old ASUS z77 board which must be about 12 years old but getting near theoretical max speeds for a PCIe 3 slot, had to try different slots to see which one is giving the best speed, the bios doesn't support it at all, but managed to get it booting into Windows 10 with Clover, not too bad to set up.

Got this so I could move my M.2 drive (Western Digital SN850X with heatsink) from the onboard motherboard slot which is covered by my GPU which blows hot air onto the drive causing concerning temperatures. When running performance tests using CrystalDiskMark it did show some drop off in speed but not much. Have been using for a week and I haven't noticed any performance difference in day to day use. Overall very happy with it given I've dropped the drive temperature by at least 5 to 10 degC without noticing a drop in performance.

Works great, no issues. I have this installed on one of my PCIe ports (Gen 3, x4) of my old Dell T3600 workstation. Fitted a 1 TB WD SN570 NVMe drive and it works at full speed. I get a peak of over 3 GB/s. Only qualm is that the securing screw was already installed and was far, far too tight. Almost stripped it trying to loosen it ready for my drive. Had to use pliers and undo it that way. For anyone wondering, I use this with the NVMe as my boot drive. I installed Clover bootloader onto a small M2 card inside a cheap USB adapter. Plugged that into my internal USB port on the motherboard. Changed boot to UEFI in BIOS. Booted via Clover and installed Windows via recovery USB and restarted. System now boots from the NVMe device, and I didn't lose an external USB port. Total boot time is about 40 seconds, 35 of which are getting through POST. So a5 second windows boot all thanks to this card, a good drive, Clover, and a bit of tinkering

great and easy to install

Works.

Easy installation, worked straight away with a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus.

I bought this to expand my overall storage space. I had 2 single 1TB drives and a 500gb drive. As new games are coming out I wanted the additional space without having to remove the 500gb nvme. For the $19 cost to place this below my GPU and still keep the 500gb (for 3d printing models only) this was perfect. Added a WD Black850X 2TB to the Mobo nvme slot and installed the 500gb to this pcie adaptor. works like a charm. No software to install and no drivers. CPU recognized it right away.

I used it for my new SSD (The KIOXIA 内蔵 SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 Type 2280 PCIe Gen 4.0×4) since my Aurora R11 only had one slot for a NVME M.2 to go into, which was for my OS SSD. I ended up putting my OS SSD into this adapter and using the built-in slot for my new SSD. (To take advantage of the PCIE 4.0 speed) It works great and I have never had a problem with it. It comes with a little LED light in it, so you can check if it is powered/slotted correctly. The heatshield+gel works good too. It arrived the day after I ordered it as well, which was great, since I needed it quickly.
