M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink Solution

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.

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.

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).
