Review on πŸ”Œ Rivo PCI-E Riser: High-Speed M.2 PCIe SSD to PCIe Express 3.0 x4 Adapter Card - NVMe/AHCI Support, M-Key, 2280/2260/2242/2230 SSD Compatibility by Auden Paz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quality card, easy to install and recognize the first time.

A high quality PCIe card that is easy to install and recognized by my system. The NVME drive (Samsung 970 Pro) I put on the card was recognized as a drive and the cloning with Samsung Magician worked right away. I was hoping to boot from it, but unfortunately it didn't work for my needs as a boot drive on my Dell Inspiron 3668 running Windows 10 Pro. I had some questions for the seller when trying to activate the map download and they responded very quickly, usually within a day, sending me suggestions and documentation to help me try to fix the problem. The boot problem ended up with my motherboard and BIOS, not the PCIe card. I ended up getting another Rivo PCIe card, a dual NVME and an M.2 SATA card from them. When I first installed it I was able to boot from the SATA drive part using a Samsung 860 Evo SATA NVME drive. As expected, the computer starts and runs much faster than with the standard HDD. Large programs installed in the operating system also run noticeably faster. I am very happy with the purchase. I wish working with all Revain sellers was that easy and I hope to have the opportunity to order from Rivo again!
