Cablecc NGFF M-Key NVME AHCI SSD to PCI-E 3.0 1x x1 Vertical Adapter for XP941 SM951 PM951 960 EVO SSD

Simply works! The PCIe x1 interface will bottleneck it a bit, but it is still faster than SATA SSD.I bought this to use in an older Vostro 470 (H77 chipset) in order to use an NVME drive for future migration to a board that natively supports the NVME. I chose this unit because it is PCIe x1, and the Dell Vostro 470 doesn't have any others (except the x16 which houses a GPU).A couple people have responded to my question of compatibility AFTER I had already placed the order, stating that the minimum chipset is z97 and x97. I want to say that it worked without any special steps in my H77 motherboard. The BIOS can't see it, but Windows 10 does without any additional drivers (although Crucial has drivers if needed). If your board doesn't support PCIe booting, it will likely still work so long as you boot off another drive 1st.I have deducted one star due to the flimsy packaging (simple plastic bag tossed in a bubble envelope), and because the Assembly to screw in the SSD is counter-intuitive.Typically, the brass standoff is attached to the board, and you secure the SSD with a screw.In this case, the standoff comes loose, and you screw it to the board while notched into the SSD.

For the price, this was a great way to upgrade my old Intel i5 2500K system. I had to hack the BIOS to get the system to boot from this PCIe board using an NVMe SSD on it. But I'm limited by PCIe 2.0 speeds (PCIE 3.0 is double 2.0). Running this board in my system -- forcing the slot to x2 vs x4 in the BIOS is about the same speeds (see attached screenshots showing benchmark comparison between my WD Black HDD, Crucial SATA SSD, and an ADATA Falcon using a x1 PCIE board vs this board running at x2 and x4 speeds). This make 3 CableCC M.2 PCIE boards I've used now and all have worked flawlessly so far. Will update if there are any problems down the road.Best part is when I'm finally ready and able to find 3rd gen Ryzen CPU and mobo, I'll be able to just pop my shiny new NVMe drive in, boot to Safe Mode, and do some quick driver clean-up/updates and be rocking without full re-install ( ::crossing fingers:: )!

I was attempting to use this to recover lost data after the drive had been reformatted to factory, but the adapter removed the boot file from the drive and I was unable to boot from it after putting it back in to the laptop it came out of. It also locked up my PC while attempting to recover data.

This little wonder just sits atop my GPU with a little bit of flexible rubber in between to keep it in the PCIe slot. Plug in a low cost M.2 NVMe SSD and strap a heatsink on top, and I have a drive to power my home theater system.It does have that ancient green PCB color but you can't tell when the LEDs wash out the contrast. Also note that you'll have a "lean" no matter how you mount this due to the angled mounting of an M.2 drive in the slot, especially with the weight of a heatsink on it.

Basic simple pcie nvme adapter. Have used it with several different brands of key-M pcie nvme m.2 ssds. Fits in pciex4, x8, or x16 slots but from what I understand it only runs at x4. The cutouts allow it to overhang on the x4 slot. Speed is good enough for my purposes. I haven't noticed any overheating of the ssd with non demanding use. I can use it on some of my pcs as a boot drive however I found one time it was a bit temperamental when I added a second of these when I already had another as boot drive. I unplugged the new one and moved the first to a different slot then reinstalled the second. I'm assuming my bios was looking at the second thinking it was the boot drive. The pc bios determines if this is bootable. On a PC from 2010 I can use it to add a data drive (non-boot).

Wanted to upgrade the M.2 NVMe drive in my PC from a 512 GB to a 1 TB. I only have one M.2 slot for the 1 TB and but I still wanted to use the 512 GB NVMe on the same PC. Since I did have one open PCIe X1 slot on the PC this is the adapter I chose. The VSMe drive fit perfectly on the adapter with the included screw, and the adapter plugged into the X1 slot no problem. The drive showed up as a second VSMe drive when booted back up.

Used this board to mount a Oemgenuine 256GB M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe Samsung PM981 Solid State Drive SSD, (2280) MZVLB256HAHQ. Was easy to install in my Asus Pro Gen 3 motherboard. Unlike others, I had to modify my bios to get the motherboard to boot off the SSD. There is a GREAT article on the Win-Raid Forum web page that walks you through the entire process if you have an Intel chip set from 6-Series and later on your motherboard. If you just want to use it for storage, Win10 has the NVMe driver built into the OS. You will still have to initialize the SSD and format it, but no bios mods are needed.

Installation in computer was easy. The installation of the ssd to the board was a little worrisome. The retention screw prevents it from popping up, but it doesn't hold it securely in place. With the screw fully tightened my Samsung evo plus still can move side to side and you can push it down into the board.

Got this to add a second NVMe drive to a Dell XPS 8940. The way the motherboard works it seems plugging this adapter in disables the NVMe port, meaning you can only have one at a time.Also, the computer was unable to boot off this adapter.

Like the title said

Aucun problème pour installer cet adaptateur sur une carte mère serveur ASRock, à base d'Intel C226 (4e génération de processeur, 2014) en 2023.J'ai mis un SSD NVME Samsung PRO 980 ; immédiatement reconnu dans le BIOS, j'ai pu installer et booter dessus.

Hace lo que tiene que hacer sin ningún problema. Lo usé para copiar el ssd nvme que ya tenía instalado a uno nuevo. Sólo tengo disponibles puertos pcie x1, pero como sólo necesito hacerlo una vez este adaptador baratito me vino de perlas.Después de hacer la copia también lo probé con la nvme que he quitado, y también funcionaba a la perfección. Las dos ssd en cuestión son una ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro y una Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS 1TBMe lie con la instalación del tornillo y no veía como hacer que aguantase la tarjeta, así que lo agarré con unas gomas. A posteriori me di cuenta de que debe haber que meter la tarjeta por la ranura que trae la rosca en vez de usar el tornillo para sujetarla.

Realiza su función perfectamente. Lo he comprado para conectar un SSD NVME a un puerto PCI-E 3.0 x1 y me funciona a la perfección siempre teniendo en cuenta que al ser un PCI-E x1 no podrá alcanzar la velocidad máxima del NVME. Me alcanza las velocidades de un SSD SATA (500Mb de lectura y de escritura más o menos).
