Review on EZDIY-FAB M.2 PCIe Adapter Card for PCIe 4.0 x4 Slots (Supports M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 SSDs) by James Cruz

This is a great card, well made and works perfectly in my application. I have a FreeNas server with an ASUS P10S-I server motherboard. I used all SATA ports for storage and a USB drive for the OS as the M.2 slot on the motherboard disabled one of the SATA ports I needed for storage. I had many problems with the Samsung USB sticks I used to boot the operating system. Over time, they deteriorated and stopped working. Mirroring two sticks didn't work either, one or both got corrupted. Some issues with either flash drives or USB slots. Not wanting to keep using USB slots or USB sticks to boot the operating system, I bought this adapter board for an unused PCI slot on the motherboard. The Corsair M.2 120GB NVMe drive was installed in an add-on card that plugged into and was immediately recognized by the motherboard. I reinstalled FreeNas on an NVMe drive, imported my backup configuration file and drive decryption string and everything works like clockwork.
