Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced Performance NVME Adapter with Heat Sink for M.2 NVME SSD to PCIE 3.0 X16 Expansion Card by Francisco Yim

worth your money. Makes motherboards without NVME much faster.

This device changes everything for some of us. I'm still using my 4th Gen Intel i7-4790K and Z97 motherboard. This means my computer does not support NVME storage. To increase speed, I used two SSDs in a striped RAID. It showed increased speed in testing, but not by much in the real world. Revain had a Pioneer (APS-SE20Q-1T) for sale and with this M.2 NVME adapter the speed was 2-3 times faster than two RAID drives. Then why only 4 stars. The manufacturer has to add the actual speed that this product can offer. According to the specifications, Pioneer NVME can reach 3400 read and 2000 write speeds. I have this drive in my Predator Helios and set it to 2800 read and 1850 write. This product limits the read and write speeds to 1500 reads and 1400 writes. Final Thoughts. Still worth the money. Your standard SATA 6.0 drive has a maximum read/write speed of 550. Most will reach 520/480. With this product you get triple the speed in most cases.
