Review on 💡 Sintech NVMe PCIe M.2(M-NGFF) M Key SSD to PCI-e X1 Adapter Card - Compatible with Samsung 960 970 EVO: A Seamless Solution by Marco Carpenter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It comes with extra M.2 screws.

Well, buy it just because of the large radiator. I chose two because I was running my OS on a cell phone from an m.2 slot. Going with a single processor seemed better than a x299 chipset since I only used x16 lanes out of the 28 available on the 7820x. I don't see any noticeable difference in speed (maybe lower latency? idk), but I'm definitely seeing cooler temperatures. The Corsair Force 500 hit the high 60's and now remains in the low 50's. Crucial p1 won't even reach 40. Different drives with sequential read difference of about GB/s but I think 500 runs hotter because it's double sided while p1 isn't. Either way, it's worth $16! Please note that the slot cover is not attached to the card and the screws are screwed in from the side opposite the heatsink. You just need to secure it before putting the heatsink back in place. Seems like a strange order to me.
