SupaGeek M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x4 Adapter Card, Supports M-Key M2 NGFF NVMe SSDs 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230, Upgrades Desktop Solid State Drives

I bought a 2TB NVMe drive in the sale and was going to swap out my 500GB drive, but realised this would let me use both. The card is easy to install and the drive worked perfectly. However, as some others have stated, the PC started hanging shortly after reaching the Windows 11 logon screen, then refused to boot at all because it couldn't see the NVMe drive on my motherboard. It appeared quite random and the PC would eventually boot. I changed PCIe slot, but that didn't help. Finally, I put my Windows NVMe drive on the card and the new NVMe drive on the motherboard. Hey presto, it works! I can't fault the card as it is presumably a BIOS issue (my motherboard was manufactured in 2019). NB: I also turned off UEFI for non-bootable drives in the fast start settings, but it didn't help in the original configuration. I'm not switching it on again, in case it stops working!

I put a Crucial P2 1tb nvme into this and once I rebooted my pc it was instantly recognised. I did a crystal disk mark test and you can see the results. Full speed for this drive with no problems. I will definitely buy more of these for older pcs without an nvme slot. Very pleased with the results.I'm running windows 11 with an MSI B660M Pro-A Wifi motherboard.

I received this very quickly and when i installed the m.2 drive it was very simple and no issue. Then installation in to my pc again was very easy. Would recommend and maybe look for the multiple drive cards in the future.

Working, but with Windows 10 problems, new Crucial NVME SSD was not working on my older NVME motherboard, so I thought I’d try this route and while it works mostly, sometimes when you return to the PC after an interval, it just freezes and requires a restart. May not be this product’s fault, though, I thought perhaps mixture of new and old hardware is root cause.

having 2 M.2 drives sometimes is not enough, so I decided to expand and get another, Buying this expansion pcie card was the only option and I have not been disappointed. I do a lot of video editing and having my video files on this drive and my video editing software on another drive really speeds up the process by about 60-70%. This is a must if you need more space or even if you dont have any M.2 slots on your pc. You need min PCIe x4 slot for this to work and the speeds given.* MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]* KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes[Read]SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 3491.951 MB/s [ 3330.2 IOPS] < 2400.63 us>SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 2668.699 MB/s [ 2545.1 IOPS] < 392.69 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 640.047 MB/s [ 156261.5 IOPS] < 198.24 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 54.500 MB/s [ 13305.7 IOPS] < 75.04 us>[Write]SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 2595.561 MB/s [ 2475.3 IOPS] < 3224.64 us>SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 2608.341 MB/s [ 2487.5 IOPS] < 401.56 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 445.025 MB/s [ 108648.7 IOPS] < 285.03 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 219.692 MB/s [ 53635.7 IOPS] < 18.52 us>Profile: DefaultTest: 1 GiB (x1) [G: 56% (262/466GiB)]Mode: [Admin]Time: Measure 5 sec / Interval 5 secDate: 2022/04/26 12:28:04OS: Windows 11 Professional [10.0 Build 22000] (x64)

Works a treat and I have no complaints.I'm certainly impressed with the quality of the PCB, and the accompanying price tag is a steal.Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a simple, straightforward adapter for sticking an additional NVMe drive into a compatible motherboard.

Simple to install, good price, works extremely well in my setup.

I bought this card to permit me to clone my existing WD Blue NVME M.2 card to another slightly newer, faster model (N550 to N570). I needed the adapter as my motherboard has only 1 M.2 slot on board. I could have gone the long way round, cloning to an intermediate drive then on to the new NVME but this adapter also offers the option of using the older drive as a second NVME drive. (So long as there is a vacant PCIe x4 slot available) That's what I did and it worked perfectly.I used the WD recommended cloning software, Acronis TrueImage, which was very straightforward, immediately recognising both drives. I'm now using the new drive as boot and system drive and the old one as cache for Photo and Video editing programs.
