Note, this adapter is designed only for 'M' key M. 2 PCIe x4 SSD's, and is guaranteed compatible with the Samsung XP941, SM951, SM961 (NVMe or AHCI), 960 Evo, 960 Pro and the MyDigital SSD BPX. It will not work with a 'B' key M. 2 PCIe x2 SSD or the 'B' key M. 2 SATA SSD. SATA Based M. 2 SSD module can NOT work with this PCIe Based Adapter. System Requirement: An empty PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 2.0 x4, x8, or x16 slot. PCI Express 3.0 x4 Lane Host adapter Low Profile Form Factor board with both Regular size and Low Profile bracket included Supports PCIe 1.0 ,PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 motherboard Compliant with 39Gbps PCI Express 3.0. Supports booting on 2006-2012 model cMP Mac Pro M. 2 SSD's like the Samsung XP941 or Samsung SM951 provide boot support on mac OS / OSX versions up to Sierra. High Sierra and later supports both NVMe M. 2 SSD's, but you still cannot boot an NVMe SSD under any version of Mac OS, you can only use it is a storage device, so long as it's High Sierra or later. ).

Working fine for now

My new NVME drive originally came installed in this external drive but I hated not having it in my computer. This gave me the best option since the slot on my motherboard was already occupied. It was easy to install and literally took less than 30 seconds. The hardest thing for me was removing the sidebar on my PC! The drive fits easily into an m.2 slot and is easy to install/secure with one screw. Zero issues at the time of review. I really like how fast these NVME drives can be.

  • Availability

  • Null

Ideal for any modern M.2 NVMe SSD

Great card at a great price. There's no reason to pay extra for anything else as it's just a PCIe pass. There is hardly any circuitry on the card, it just forwards the M.2 card to the PCIe bus. It has a bright blue activity LED on the top, comes with brackets for full and half height slots, and a full set of screws for both bracket and M.2 drive. They even have a small screwdriver in them. Performance is excellent with the HP EX920 1TB SSD installed. No claims; great device and good price!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Great price

Compact and easy to install

I love this NVMe PCIe adapter. It was compact and relatively easy to install. It was the first time I installed such a memory chip, but after watching a few YouTube videos, it turned out to be very easy. Setup would have been a little easier if they had provided a little more instruction for beginners like me, but as I mentioned there is a wealth of information on YouTube which put my mind at ease. After installing the M.2 NVMe chip on the PCIe adapter, I quickly installed it in one of my PCIeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Pros
  • Please note this adapter is only for M.2 PCIe x4 SSD with M Key and guaranteed compatible with Samsung XP941, SM951, SM961 (NVMe or AHCI), 960 Evo, 960 Pro and MyDigital SSD BPX. It will not work with M.2 PCIe x2 SSD with "B" key or SATA M.2 SSD with "B" key. The SATA-based M.2 SSD module will NOT work with this PCIe-based adapter

Works great, good way to support older NVMe PCs

I ended up giving my old device to my sister but she didn't have an NVMe slot which she desperately needs to run her OS so I got this. The first thing I want to note is that this only works with PCIe slots. So if you only have PCI slots, you shouldn't do this. Won't fit. I have a PCIe slot, but it was too close to my GPU where it wouldn't fit, nor did it get proper air cooling. That being said, I went with PCIe x16 (which is my second graphics card slot). It would be fair enough if it could get

Pros
  • Supports booting on 2006-2012 cMP Mac Pro M models. 2 SSDs such as Samsung XP941 or Samsung SM951 provide boot support for pre-Sierra versions of mac OS/OSX. High Sierra and later both support NVMe M.2 SSDs, but you cannot boot an NVMe SSD on any version of Mac OS, you can only use it as a storage device if it is High Sierra or later. )
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
