Not Worth It: Poor Performance

As a loyal customer of computer components, I was extremely disappointed with this PCIe slot. As a result of my tests, I determined that it's slow and unstable - not to mention, it caused continuous crashes on my computer. The only benefit is the sleek aluminum design, but it's simply not worth the investment. Do not waste your money on this subpar product.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poor performance, caused crashes on computer.

QUALITY M.2 NVMe PCIe EZ Add On Mount

A well-made PCIe add-on card for installing an M.2 NVMe SSD with an attached heatsink. Uses a high quality board and is made by SABRENT, a major manufacturer of NVMe M.2, so it's properly constructed. It comes with 3 different thickness thermal pads that you need to use to transfer heat from the NVMe M.2 flash drive to the finned aluminum case. Pay close attention to the order in which you attach the spacers and note that you will likely NOT need to order all of them. . I installed a bare…

Pros
  • PCI Express Physical Interface: PCIe x16/x8/x4 slot. Logical interface/PCIe channels: X4.
Cons
  • Very expensive

PLEASE READ FIRST: good solution at reasonable price, ultra slim profile, some features

I bought this unit to add an NVME drive to an older motherboard that didn't have an onboard M2 slot. Pros: - Great price and very low profile to fit even the smallest mini ITX TV box. I tried this. Cons: - It definitely doesn't support double-sided SSDs - The thermal design is inefficient. While the front of the SSD contacts the TIM and then the large external heatsink, the bottom of the SSD has the TIM's pad on the PCB. and then place another tim between the board and the outer shell. Some of…

Pros
  • Compatible Sizes: 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280. NOTE. It doesn't fit in the PCIe x1 slot.
Cons
  • Big and bulky
