- Easy to install - Plug and play - All hardware needed - Good thermal pad and heat-sink - Super lightweight adapter -
low price but it works well Used this card to clone my Windows system drive to a larger M.2 drive.
Maybe a Necessity if You Have a USB-C on Front Panel Header because no USB 3.2 GEN1 connector on motherboard. The PCI-E 1X to USB 3.2 GEN1 5Gbps 20pin Front Panel Header allows you to connect the USB-C front panel header to your PCI-E 1X slot
Simple Installation. Comes with a screwdriver and a screw. Truly Plug & Play with Windows 10 if your Motherboard already has support for NVMe. Does not even look for a driver, it just works. Great way to add fast NVMe drives.
- The heat sink plate is WELL CONSTRUCTED and nice and thick! Make sure you mount your M.2 NVMe drives and then place the heat sink adhesive on the drives and then mount and screw the plate in place. - Note: the board has a +12V fan connector on it that is not used in this variant. Riitop sells another that is a fan-based model were a fan (in place of the plate) would normally mount. - The kit comes with a decent screwdriver you need to install the heat sink plate. I have sooo many screwdrivers now because I have ordered similar kits.
Easy to setup, very fast and reliable.
Worked in Linux. Works pre-boot and seen in the BIOS. Works with EFI Windows PE's. Works for cloning. It's not hot swappable but that's how PCI-E works and there are USB 3.0 adapters similar to this. Unlike those though, this one actually works and works in a wide array of scenarios.
- Very easy to install
Works well and really like that I dont have to hook up an external SATA power source. Speeds are good and match my other USB ports on my mobo.
Easy install, works as expected.
I upgraded my computer to a Rysen 5 5600 and the expansion slots were not exactly like my old mother board. I needed more SATA drive ports and this gave them to me.
Need 4 more USB ports, and want them to be powered as well? This is your answer. Drivers load perfectly and device operates without a glitch fully loaded. I am running an HP scanjet 5590, Dell CN 3100 color laser, Logitec HD cam, and an 3.0 external HD. All running fast as fast...
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to install the correct drivers as I don't have a disc drive on this pc. but windows was able to get it done without me doing anything.
· Plug & Play on my GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard (socket AM3+) from something like 2012 · Fast, and very good value (since it's rockin' 4 M.2 sockets) · Very high quality design with obviously a solid build · Nice looking unit · Thermal paste for the NVMe drives is ... thick. It sounds like a negative, but it means that it's pretty much guaranteed to make contact with the module. · The heat sink is kina epic - it's a rather meaty slab of aluminium. It could probably use more fins instead of being a solid mass, but it's definitely a healthy chunk of metal · There's a switch on the back of the unit (where the air discharges from the PCIe socket) that allows you to turn off the onboard fan
