Review on πŸ”Œ RIITOP NVMe Adapter with Heat Sink - M.2 PCIe SSD to PCI-e Converter Card | 2280/2260/2242/2230 [Upgraded] by Alex Solano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty easy to set up with NVMe SDD.

It is compact and has silicone pads for better heat distribution. The kit comes with 3 silicone pads of 3 different thicknesses and I was wondering what to use and where. I just installed them temporarily to see what I need and where. If my SSD was thinner I think all 3 could be used. I ended up using the thickest at the bottom of my Intel 660p SSD and the thickest middle at the top of the SSD. I tried using the third one from the bottom but I couldn't get the screws to tightly close the aluminum case. It worked fine with my PC, no driver issues on Windows 10 64 bit. I think my biggest problem was dealing with the tiny screws. Beautifully designed body. Makes a solid impression when closed. In 2020 I bought a second one with a Samsung 970 EVO and it doesn't work. It's still a solid product but when I plug it into my wife's computer (same MB as hers so I wasn't expecting any problems) I get a long beep and 3 short beeps on boot up (video card issue). After unplugging, the computer boots normally. I tried several times and all download attempts gave 1 long and 3 short beeps. So I think it's the adapter or the Samsung 970 EVO. I can just swap both and try again.

Pros
  • Memory card accessory
Cons
  • Nothing here
