Review on ๐Ÿ’ป SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe Card with Heat Sink (EC-PCIE) by Matt Weber

Revainrating 4 out of 5

QUALITY M.2 NVMe PCIe EZ Add On Mount

A well-made PCIe add-on card for installing an M.2 NVMe SSD with an attached heatsink. Uses a high quality board and is made by SABRENT, a major manufacturer of NVMe M.2, so it's properly constructed. It comes with 3 different thickness thermal pads that you need to use to transfer heat from the NVMe M.2 flash drive to the finned aluminum case. Pay close attention to the order in which you attach the spacers and note that you will likely NOT need to order all of them. . I installed a bare Sabrent Rocket-Q 2TB M.2 and used thin spacers on each side of the stick. Installation is easy using a Phillips PH0 screwdriver for the internal M.2 rack, 4 small Phillips screws hold the case together. It's compact and requires a full-size PCIe slot, x16 is best for bandwidth. No driver required. Cute for adding M.2 MVMe to mobo without dedicated M.2 mount or if you want another one. I have an ASUS X570 SRIX-E with two M.2s on the board and this is the third one with no spinners at all. highlighted. NOT for M.2 SATA type M.2 or "B-Key M.2" type. Easy to install, well made, good value and high quality. ).

Pros
  • PCI Express Physical Interface: PCIe x16/x8/x4 slot. Logical interface/PCIe channels: X4.
Cons
  • Very expensive
