Review on πŸ’Ύ AMPCOM M.2 NVMe SSD to PCI-e 4.0 Adapter, PCIe 4.0 X16 Card with Aluminum Case, Windows 7/8/10 Support, 2280 Compatible by Darian Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality for the price and PCIe 3.0 x16!

Honestly, this adapter is a lot better than I thought it would be. It looks great in my PC. 10/10 highly recommended, especially if you have a red theme in your tower! Notes: Install thermal greases on BOTH sides of your NVMe! You will use the blue ones if your NVMe does NOT have chips on the back of the board. If so, use red. The difference is how thick the thermal pads are. Their goal is to insert NVMe between the aluminum chassis. If there are chips on the back of your NVMe circuit board, the blue pad with thermal paste is too thick and will compress your NVMe. Red is thinner and won't crush your NVMe. Just look at the back, if it's flat you'll need two blue ones. If it looks the same on both sides, with ICs and stuff on the board, use blue on top and red on back/bottom. It should push NVMe firmly, but not properly with an aluminum chassis. Use Macrium Reflect to clone your hard drive to a new SSD! It's FREE and super easy to use. In addition, it is quite easy to install. Definitely happy with this purchase, especially at this price!
