Review on πŸ”Œ Cablecc 4X NVME M.2 AHCI to PCI-E Express 3.0 Gen3 X16 Raid Card with Fan for VROC and Raid0 Hyper Adapter by Paul Gravely

Look at the picture - is that a PCIe x4 slot?

The card I received had a PCIe x1 connector as shown in the picture. Look at the interface in the picture. This is a PCIe x1 interface. It fits into the PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard. The PCIe x4 card is not suitable for the PCIe x1 slot. The second block of slots is longer, not shorter, than the first block of slots on the PCIe x4 interface. You cannot install a PCIe x4 card in a PCIe x1 slot. If your card fits in the short PCIe x1 slot, it's PCIe x1! It works, but the NVMe drive speed has been reduced from 3450 Mbit/s to maybe 900 Mbit/s on the Crystal Disk. Read and write speeds are about the same since the drive's speed is limited by the PCIe x1 interface. My NVMe drive has the latest Phison E12 controller and is fast. My device is new, has PCIE version 3.0. If you have an older version of PCIe, your results will be different. However, due to the PCIE x1 interface, you are still limited in speed. If you bought it, you may be able to get your money back from Revain because you were scammed!
