Review on πŸ”Œ Rivo PCI-E Riser: High-Speed M.2 PCIe SSD to PCIe Express 3.0 x4 Adapter Card - NVMe/AHCI Support, M-Key, 2280/2260/2242/2230 SSD Compatibility by Jake Atonyo

Attention buyers, this card is not suitable for standard ATX boards.

Although the card works well, I had to bend the bracket a lot to get the card to sit properly in the fixed position. When the card is properly installed (fully pushed in), the bracket is approximately 1/8 inch shorter. If you secure the card with a screw, the card slips out of the motherboard on the right side and sits "crooked". Photos attached: the card is installed correctly, without a screw, and the bracket is clearly too short (first and fourth photo). ) How much I had to bend the mount to make it work when attaching. I used my floorboard as a line reference. (Third Photo) The card installed and fixed in the PC shows the bend to make it work. (Second photo) I'm not sure I just got the slacker card and it was an easy fix, just a minor annoyance.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Requires an electrical outlet
