Quality device, easy to use

I was impressed by the cooler, it turned out thicker than it looked in the photos. The entire card feels solid and comes with all mounting hardware and thermal pads. I installed two M.2 sata drives on this card and then connected it to my TrueNAS/Plex server and it worked from the moment it booted up. I didn't have to mess with settings, bios, drivers or anything else. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the whole process was. I highly recommend this as an easy way to add M.2 drives to a system without using the SATA ports on the motherboard.

Pros
  • Compatible with Windows XP/7/8/10/Mac/NAS/Linux. No driver installation required. Support for installing Windows OS from Win10 PE.
Cons
  • A few small things
