Installed in a PCIe adapter card in an old 9 year old motherboard. AS Rock Z77 Pro 3 motherboard. This thing screams! Such speeds just aren't possible with this old hardware unless you have a PCIe adapter card and this drive installed. You must first boot into the "Clover Bootloader" and then select your Leven m.2. I have a load of 2-3 seconds. It's just crazy. It's faster than my wife's new laptop. Very happy with the purchase, stable and seems to run cool with the heatsinks installed. Great Value and Leven has long been a trusted manufacturer of reliable products. money well spent. Would love to try a larger size if funds are available. REMEMBER THIS WILL ONLY WORK AT HALF SPEED DUE TO MOBO RESTRICTIONS. Such speeds are not possible with this motherboard unless you have a PCI adapter (this is the adapter card I used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JKH5VTL/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_QPRWK89PG5YAD7JN331W) and this one Leven drive. I'm keeping my old 3570K as it's not a brand new unit. Try it out on your old hardware, use your brain this week, reuse an old computer from a junkyard and have fun. For your health!
