Installation is very easy and it can be fitted to low profile cases as well as standard size. The board has no additional circuitry other than an LED that illuminates to indicate access. However, it only has one PCIe channel so the data throughput is only marginally better than a good SATA SSD. If you are using this on an older motherboard that does not have an NVME slot/socket, then the BIOS will probably not allow it to be used as a boot drive or access it before you get into the operating system e.g. MS Windows. As such, it has limited use. Having discovered the above, I eventually decided to replace the motherboard, an old LGA1155, with a newer motherboard with NVME support built into the motherboard. The new motherboard and Gen4 NVME has made my aging Intel i7 2nd gen PC boot into Windows 10 in just a few seconds. If you want to use this adapter to just add some additional storage then it may be OK for you. If you want to use your NVME to operate as the Boot disk then this probably won't work and you will need to buy a SATA drive. Note that there are no SATA adaptors to convert M.2 NVME to SATA (at a sensible price), and SATA is slower than just one PCIe channel in any case. A native NVME socket will have 4 PCIe channels and will thus be a lot faster than SATA. Review: It just works.... - Superb little adapter that let me use an NVME SSD drive i had lying about to upgrade an older PC. Came with different back plates to fit STD and SFF chassis, and simple to swap. didn't test read/write speeds, but PC works nicely ## Features - This adapter turns your motherboard's PCIE X1 slot into an M.2 Key M slot for M.2 NVMe SSD installation. - Advantage: It uses the free motherboard PCIE X1 slot instead of occupying the X16 slot. Disadvantage: Its maximum bandwidth is limited to that of PCIe X1, falling short of PCIe X4 full - speed. - No capacity limit for M.2 NVMe SSDs (2T, 4T work). Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes. New SSDs need initialization and formatting. M.2 SATA SSDs aren't supported. - Compatible with Windows 11/10/8, Linux, and Mac OS. Support OS boot from NVMe SSD, except on some old motherboards (usable as storage then). Windows 7 lacks native NVMe driver; download from Microsoft or SSD manufacture site. - Includes 12cm regular and 8cm low - profile brackets for any PC frame. FCC and CE certified.
