Review on πŸ’» SST-ECM24: SilverStone Technology M.2 M Key PCIe NVMe Adapter with Integrated Heatsink for PCIe X4 by Michael Hall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Familiarize yourself with your motherboard and BIOS/UEFI and make sure you have the correct slot (PCIEX16 or PCIeX4)

I love how well built this model is and that it comes with a decent heatsink. I don't like a sled rolling the dice for the ability to actually boot the SSD, but that's more of a BIOS/UEFI bug. In my case with an Asrock Z77 phone it doesn't boot but works like a handoff boot with some workarounds. I'm a little offended that Asrock isn't releasing a BIOS update to fix this issue, but that's not Silverstone's fault. This sled works great, the only downside is that all my installs on the hard drive are now unbearably slow. It's fast!

Pros
  • Includes an optional low-profile expansion slot
Cons
  • Small things
