Review on IO CREST Internal 5 Port Non-RAID SATA III 6GB/s M.2 B+M Key Adapter Card: Boost Desktop PC Storage Performance with SSD and HDD Support, Powered by JMB585 Chipset by Tony Battaglia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There are compatibility issues with AMD SATA controllers (causes of stuttering) (fixed)

I have no other M.2 devices, the concept is perfect. However, I wish for others who plan to use it on a PC with an AMD Ryzen processor (mine is a Ryzen 3 3200G, so I can't say if it matches the problem for others) that this will cause problems with the Computer stuttering, especially immediately after turning on the computer or waking up from sleep mode. I struggled with this for months and tried dozens of times to find the correct drivers as it appeared to be a driver issue. However, the solution I just found today was to go to Device Manager and under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers disable AMD SATA Controller. I can't be sure if this will work with all settings, and I'm not sure what features, if any, I'm missing out on by not using this driver. But at the moment my computer is not jerky. I hope this saves at least one more person from the hours of frustration I've already gone through.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
