GLOTRENDS PU13 U.3 to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter for 2.5 Inch U.3 SSD, PCIe 4.0 X4 Full Speed

U.3 to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter: It allows you to install a U.3 SSD into the U.3 (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.3 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.

When reinstalling the system, please select GUID Partition Table (GPT).
OS will reboot after completing installation, remove the bootable usb drive, enter BIOS to setup UEFI boot mode

For U.3 storage drive, Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS

Windows 7 can not support nvme drive
Brand new NVMe drive need to be Initialized and formated before OS recognize it.

PCI-Express X4 Full Speed

To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed, your motherboard and CPU, and U.3 SSD should all support PCIe 4.0, otherwise can not reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed
To be Noted: Intel CPU 11th generation and above support PCIe 4.0 feature
