Perfect for what I need!

I wanted to add an SSD drive to my old desktop PC, but I didn't have any free slots to install a 2.5" SSD drive. This prompted me to look at M.2 drives and find this card to install. What I really liked is that you can connect a SATA m.2b drive or a PCIE drive. In my situation I felt more comfortable with a SATA connection knowing I could boot from it. I couldn't say for sure if my motherboard would allow me to boot from a blank PCIE drive. Using this card allowed me to switch to an SSD drive…

  • I/O Cards

I work in IT technology. THIS IS NOT AN NVMe M.2 Type M drive. It is a Type B NGFF SATA drive! Keep in mind!

There are 3 main types of non-volatile memory (stick disks). mSATA connector type. It's just a SATA SSD without an enclosure. (You get 560Mbps limited to SATA bus) Connector type M NVMe M.2 storage. This requires a special connector on the motherboard. (They reach speeds of over 3400 Mbit/s thanks to the ultra-fast Non-Volitile Memory Express connection). Connect NGFF Type B Sata SSD drives. It's essentially a long, skinny SATA drive that looks like NVME but isn't. Its NGFF (Next Generation…

Obviously it wouldn't boot, but by following the online instructions to install Windows drivers it was able to support gaming and live video. M.2. It is now in a new box but for temporary use it was downloaded this way. Just don't expect old hardware to boot from it. The old PCI v2 ran at around 500MB/s on my m.2, while the native ran at around…
