Does exactly what it needs to do

I have a small form factor PC that I needed to fit an NVMe drive in and keep a full size 7200rpm data drive. The 16x PCI-e slot is used by the low-profile graphics card and only 1x PCI-e slot is left. Since the 1x slots aren't the faster version I lost a tremendous amount of performance from the HDD but it still averages around 300400MB read/write so it's still fast but not the 1 or 2GB per second she used would be in a full 16x slot. This isn't a fault of the adapter, it's something you REALLY need to know about. Check your motherboard's specs to determine if you will lose speed and if the loss is acceptable.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • No form needed
