NVMe drive as boot drive or storage drive?
For the NVMe boot drive, you need to reinstall the OS (Windows 10 64bit/Windows 11 is recommended).
- First, you need to prepare a bootable USB drive and OS (Windows 10 64bit/Windows 11).
- When reinstalling the system, please select GUID Partition Table (GPT).
- OS will reboot after completing installation, remove the bootable USB drive, and enter BIOS to set UEFI boot mode
For NVMe storage drive, Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS
- Windows 7 can not support nvme drive
- Brand new NVMe drive needs to be initialized and formatted before OS recognizes it.
PCI-Express X4 Full Speed
- Supports PCIe X4 full speed and is PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0/1.0 compliant.
- To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed, your motherboard and CPU, and M.2 PCIe SSD should all support PCIe 4.0, otherwise can not reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed
- Intel CPU 11th generation and above support PCIe 4.0 feature
Installation
- Unscrew the copper stand. Then snap it to the end of M.2 SSD (half-moon position), see step 2 picture
- SSD is inserted diagonally into the adapter at a 30-degree angle
- Screw the M.2 SSD to the adapter
- Plug into the PCIe slot
