## Description

desertcart.com: SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Adapter Card, Heatsink | Fits 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVMe, Aluminum heatsink, Not for M.2 SATA or PCIe x1, BIOS NVMe support needed : Electronics

## Features

- Wide Compatibility – Supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. PCIe x16/x8/x4 physical slot required. Not compatible with SATA drives or PCIe x1 slots.
- CHECK YOUR DRIVE AND SLOT FIRST – Your SSD must be an M.2 NVMe (M-Key) drive; M.2 SATA drives (B-Key or B+M Key) will not work in this card. The card seats in a physical PCIe x16, x8, or x4 slot — an x1 slot will not fit.
- YOUR MOTHERBOARD DOES THE REST – This is a passive adapter with no onboard controller, so your motherboard BIOS must support booting or reading NVMe drives over PCIe lanes. Older boards without that support may not see the drive even when the card is seated correctly. Works with Windows 7 (with NVMe hotfixes), Windows 8/10/11, and Linux.
- DURABLE HEATSINK INCLUDED – Comes with an aluminum heatsink and thermal pads to ensure optimal heat dissipation and long-lasting performance. Apply one pad between the SSD and the heatsink; the spares are there for different drive thicknesses.
- SIMPLE INSTALLATION – Tool-free setup with included screws and screwdriver. Quickly mount your SSD and insert the adapter into your system. SSD not included.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the nvme m.2 ssd to pcie x16/x8/x4 card support 4.0 speeds, or 3.0 only?**
A: Everyone is falling over themselves to give you the wrong answer. Two of these comments are referring to the hero vii and not the hero viii which the dark hero OP has is based on.

His board has 3 x16 slots, the top 2 to the CPU can either be configured for a single slot at 16 lanes, or x8 on both. The CPU only has 24 lanes total, and 4 go to the chipset 4 to the m.2 slot1.

Chipset works like a switch providing 16 more lanes are higher latency 
The 3rd slot is x4 wired pcie 4.0 to the chipset. 

So yes, he should be capable of 4.0 speeds if this adapter supported it. That he can't suggests he either used too many of the 16 lanes his chipset provides or this card can't provide 4.0 passthrough.

**Q: In re: to the sabrent nvme m.2 ssd to pcie x16/x8/x4 card with aluminum heat sink. why does paperwork that comes with the card says for x16 slot only?**
A: The physical form factor is for a 16x "slot" with the retaining tab/clip. This should provide adequate physical support since it does not use a bracket for the card slot. Depending on the mainboard/motherboard, Installing it in an 8x or 4x slot connector may not align properly or provide sufficient support.  Not all physical 16x slots are actually wired to support sixteen (16) PCIe lanes.  The same is true of smaller slots.  To get the full performance, the slot must support or be "wired" for at least four (4) logical lanes.  For instance I have it installed in a physical 16x slot that is only "wired" for four (4) lanes, which in this case happens to be the perfectly matched scenario.

**Q: Does this device require pcie lane bifurcation on the motherboard, or is it handled on the card itself?**
A: That is handled by the card itself. It has an ASMedia PCIe switch built in for broad compatibility.

**Q: With all slots populated, do the drives run at pcie 3.0 x1 speeds?**
A: Each drive can be independently accessed with up to PCIe 3.0 x2 lanes per M.2 slot.
