GLOTRENDS U.2 to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter for 2.5 Inch U.2 SSD, PCI-E X4 Full Speed

U.2 to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter: It allows you to install a U.2 SSD into the U.2 (SFF-8639) slot by converting one PCIe X4/X8/X16 slot on the motherboard.
FCC and CE certified, Highly Reliable, and Stable PCIe X4 Full Speed: The U.2 SSD speed is unaffected, just as if it was installed on the motherboard
No limit to the capacity of the U.2 SSD: Support 4T/6T
To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 (64Gbps) full speed, the CPU and motherboard PCIe slot and PCIe M.2 SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features (Note: PCIe 4.0 is not supported on Intel CPUs below 11th generation)
Support OS Booting: Reinstall the OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI boot from this M.2 NVMe SSD (Note: Some motherboards are too old to support OS booting. In this case, U.2 SSD can be used as storage disks)
OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Not support Windows 7). The new U.2 SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host.
