GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe X1 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink for M.2 PCIe 4.0/3.0 SSD (NVMe/AHCI Key M), PCIe X1/X4/X8/X16 Lane Installation, but Only PCIe X1 Bandwidth (PA09-X1-HS) See more

Come with M.2 heatsink for M.2 SSD Cooling: 10°C- 30°C cooling effect, and keep M.2 SSD under good performance. M.2 PCIe SSD as Storage Disk, widely OS compatibility: Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS. (Noted: Windows 7 do not have native NVMe driver, so can not support M.2 PCIe SSD). Brand new M.2 PCIe SSD need to be Initialized and formated before PC recognize it. Support OS booting from PCIe SSD: Need to reinstall OS, and setup BIOS/UEFI booting from this M.2 PCIe SSD. (Noted: Some motherboards too old to setup OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. Additionally, Windows 7 may not support OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. In this case M.2 PCIe SSD can be used as storage disk). Compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0 M.2 PCIe SSD, such as Samsung 980, Pro WD Black SN850, Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, Sabrent Rocket Q4, Crucial P5 Plus, Samsung 980/ 970 PRO/ 970 EVO Plus/ 970 EVO, etc. The disadvantage is only PCIe X1 bandwidth, not PCIe X4 bandwidth. Will not occupy a PCIe X16 graphics card lane, can install on PCIe X1 lane, then you will get an extra M.2 PCIe slot for your motherboard.
