PCIe Adapter for One M.2 NVMe Mkey and One SATA Bkey SSD, PCI-e 4.0 X4 Card Supports NGFF M2 M-Key or B-Key (M+B) SSD of Length 2280,2260,2242,2230, PCIe NVMe Adapter with SATA 3.0 Cable

Works with HP Microserver Gen8. Running Linux. This machine is pre-NVME so SATA SSD on this card is essential. Had to use onboard Smart drive controller and set up logical drive with just SSD, then leave topmost 2GB of SSD empty, but allowed me to finally use SSD as boot device.

I almost gave this product 4 stars. It's hard to assemble. However, it fulfilled my needs so well that I can't deny them. I need to add space to my Computer. I have so many extra NVME drives so now I have more of the faster storage. I've been fortunate in this manner thanks to this well-working product. I don't need any drivers, it was easy to fit into the motherboard even partially assembled, etc. The speed of the device makes it valuable. The price is awesome.

Initial install on an Asus Rampage Formula IV motherboard with an Intel i7 3930kUsed PCIe 8x lane with M.2 mount. Ubuntu Server 24.04 could see the drive during install and was able to install the OS to the M.2 drive - that said, the bios was (as I expected) not able to boot from the drive once installation was complete.2nd OS install was with just the SATA slot filled using the pictured SSD. With the SATA cable connected there was no issue with installation or post installation boot into the Ubuntu OS.After OS installation, I removed the card, added the 1TB Rocket drive for additional storage, and was confronted with a GRUB error telling me the drive/partition containing the boot information was no longer attached.I have set all other drives in fstab with mounds using UUID as this will prevent (one hopes) Linux from reassigning drive destinations through sda - that worked for everything but the boot drive. The addition of the second drive continues to eliminate the SATA connected drive and boot OS.I will keep trying.All that said, good shipping speed, excellent price point, and so far very reliable.

Pros: Inexpensive and easy to use. Just screw on the correct size of case slot cover to match your PC case, connect your M.2 drive and screw in the retention bushing to hold the drive in place. Install in your PCIe slot on your motherboard and presto you have another M.2 slot. Good speeds, my bios recognized it as a bootable drive (if you wanted to use it for your main drive slot). I'm not sure that all motherboards would be compatible booting from the PCIE interface so your mileage may vary.FYI: I just used the NVMe/PCIE portion, not the SATA portion. I do see reviews that the item doesn't utilize "both slots"....well I think they possibly aren't using it correctly. The SATA slot clearly is not compatible with NVMe drives. They are two different connections. The SATA portion also clearly states that it requires the SATA data cable to be attached to a SATA port on the motherboard in order to work. I would assume the SATA drive just draws power from the PCIE slot in that case. I don't have a SATA M.2 to test, but I'd bet you could use both slots at the same time as long as you had one drive as NVMe and the other as SATA with the SATA data cable properly attached to the motherboard. PCIEx4 slots can provide 25 watts of power and the M.2 spec caps the power usage at 7 watts per connection you'd have plenty of juice to run both at the same time.Cons: The brass bushings that hold the M.2 drives down are small and can be difficult to manipulate. It would be nicer if they just used the rubber inserts that pop in and hold the drive in place than fiddling with tiny metal screws and bushings. Wish it had two NVMe instead of one SATA as M.2 SATA drives aren't as common.

Hello, I have bought 2 of these adapters, I have a Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE board (rev. 1.0) with the updated BIOS, Windows 11, unfortunately after installing the adapter with a 1TB M.2 NVMe Kinstong disk when turning off the computer as soon as it turns off it restarts and turns on again, I changed the adapter for the other one since I bought both to check if it is a damage but the same thing happens, as soon as I remove the adapter from my PC my PC works normally.----------------------Hola, he comprado 2 de estos adaptadores, tengo una board gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0) con el bios actualizado, windows 11, desafortunadamente después de instalar el adaptador con un disco M.2 NVMe Kinstng de 1TB al momento de apagar el equipo apenas apaga se reinicia y prende nuevamente, cambie el adaptador por el otro ya que compre los dos para verificar si es un daño pero sucede lo mismo, apenas retiro de mi PC el adaptador mi PC funciona normalmente.

Este adaptador nvme es muy compacto y fácil de instalar si buscas aumentar la memoria se tu pc este adaptador es para ti

So first off, when I received this card, I was concerned about the item itself as the box seemed repurposed and damaged. Wondered if the card was intact, also damaged, and/or if it was a return. Seemed to be okay and I installed two types of SSDs, a Sata Drive and an NVMe type. Both are seen by the PC. The Sata drive is seen in my BIOS and the 2TB WD is not. Both are seen by disk manager. Because the NVMe is not seen by my BIOS, it cannot be configured as my boot drive, unless I am missing something. The Crucial Sata has speeds over 500 and the WD NVMe clocked in at over 1500 speeds.

Barely packaged, but the card seems to work. Came with 2 standoffs for m.2 drives, but only 1 screw to mount a drive.
