Inexpensive way to speed up your old system. - I own an 5 year-old Dell Desktop XPS 8900, 1TB HD, 16GB RAM, Windows 10, and bought a 256GB NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD card (also from desertcart) to speed up the boot up process. Even though the motherboard is listed to have "One M.2 SSD with RAID 0 Stripe/1 Mirror", I could not figure out how to migrate the drive to Device Manager. Instead of investing any more time in research, I purchased this (relatively inexpensive) PCIe to NVMe adapter card. Installation itself was fairly simple: Plug the SSD into the card and tighten the mounting screw. The hardest part was inserting the card into the PCIe slot - very tight fit, but it finally went in. If you power up the system and see a very bright blue LED emanating from the board, you are connected. The manufacturer included easy to read physical installation instructions inside the package, but unfortunately their guidelines stopped here. There is no mention to having your operating system recognize the new drive. After a few hours searching and reviewing YouTube instructional videos, I finally discovered that I needed to go into the Windows Disk Management system, select the drive to recognize, format it and I was done. They could have saved me time by adding just one or two more lines on the installation instructions. After a reboot and the SSD drive appearing in File Explorer, I downloaded and installed the Macrium Reflect (free version) program. It seemed to have very good reviews by experts. Again using YouTube for helpful tips, I cloned the operating system to the SSD, rebooted and DONE! I wa surprised and delighted to see that BIOS automatically updated to show the SSD as the boot-up C: drive. Nice! Finally something that worked the first time. I tested the drive speeds using (free-version) CrystalDiskMark. In the end, all this work was well worth the time spent; the new SSD read-time is 9-10X faster (pic 1) than the Toshiba HD running at 7200 rpm (pic 2). The system booted up in under 20 seconds, and after signing in Windows Desktop opened in only 2 seconds. Office and other programs also open up much faster. For less than $85 total investment, my desktop is now super-fast. I am a believer in the real speed advantage of SSD vs. Hard Drive. Review: Great card, and great value. Highly Recommended. - This is a great card, well made, and worked flawlessly in my application. I have a FreeNas server, using an ASUS P10S-I server motherboard. I was using all of the SATA ports for storage and was using a USB stick for the operating system because the on-motherboard M.2 slot would disable one of the SATA ports which I needed for storage. I had numerous issues with the Samsung USB sticks I was using for booting the OS; they were becoming degraded over time and stopped working. Even mirroring two sticks didn't work, one of them, or both of them would eventually be corrupted. Some issue with either the flash drives, or using the USB slots. As I didn't want to keep using the USB slots, or USB drives to boot the OS, I bought this adapter card for the unused PCI slot on the motherboard. A Corsair M.2 120GB NVMe drive was installed in the add-on card, plugged into the motherboard, which recognized it immediately. Reinstalled FreeNas onto the NVMe drive, imported my backup configuration file and disk decryption string and bang, works like a charm. ## Features - Supports PCIe Gen4 and PCIe Gen3 M.2 NGFF 80mm, 60mm, 42mm SSD - Supports PCIe 1.0 ,PCIe 2.0,PCIe 3.0, and PCIe 4.0 motherboard - Note: this adapter is only for 'M' key M.2 PCIe SSD such as Samsung XP941 SSD. Not compatible with a 'B' key M.2 PCIe x2 SSD or 'B' key M.2 SATA SSD. - Fast and hassle-free setup with native OS support / Includes full-profile bracket and low-profile bracket for installation in SFF computers - Windows 10/8, Windows Server 2012 R2, Linux series, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat native drivers support both PCIe-NVMe and PCIe-AHCI. Note: Mac Pro 2009, 2010 and 2012 models support PCIe-AHCI SSD only. （Note: Win7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are not compatible with NVME SSD) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GCXCR7W | | Best Sellers Rank | #468 in Network I/O Port Cards | | Brand | EZDIY-FAB | | Color | Red | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC | | Connector Type | M.2, PCIe | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 410 Reviews | | Finish | Matte | | Finish Type | Matte | | Input Voltage | 3.3 volts | | Item Dimensions | 6.7 x 5.2 x 1.1 inches | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6.7 x 5.2 x 1.1 inches | | Manufacturer | EZDIY-FAB | | Mfr Part Number | 2H-98QG-1234 | | Model Number | 6453677 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | UPC | 747380742228 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EZDIY-FAB - **Color:** Red - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, PC - **Connector Type:** M.2, PCIe - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.7 x 5.2 x 1.1 inches ## Images ![EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UoAFS9pRL.jpg) ![EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jljZUPd4L.jpg) ![EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71o3WJh8d3L.jpg) ![EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QZzDQ75JL.jpg) ![EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nynDGjQ2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you make the drive bootable on Windows 10 using this adaptor?** A: That will be dependant on whether or not your motherboard supports booting from PCI-E I have an older Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 and it will allow me to use this as a hard drive, but I cannot boot from it. Be sure to research if your motherboard will let you boot from PCI slots first. **Q: Will this device affect the performance of the nvme ssd? while it affect the read/write speeds?** A: No. But performance might be limited by the port you use. PCIe3 4x will handle speeds up to 4GB/s. Check your motherboards manual to verify your pcie port version and lanes. Also, some nvme disks gets quite warm and slowdown to compensate **Q: Does this require drivers? it recognizes that something is connected but it doesn't install. installing in an evo 860 m.2 ssd in pcie x16** A: EVO 860 m.2 SSD seems to be M.2 SATA interface. Our adapter doesn't support M.2 SATA SSD. Please check again. Thank you very much. **Q: Is this compatible with a a b+m nvme drive? would it run at nvme speed?** A: This accepts only a pci-e x4 m.2 drive. If it says SATA anywhere on or in the description of your drive then it will not work. You have to formates SATA m.2 and pci-e m.2 drives they are not compatable with each other or the ports you plug them into. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The read speed is sweet, indeed!

Be sure to check BIOS settings. *by 3***K on August 24, 2023* Has tall and short brackets, and comes with standoff-screw (even a mini screwdriver if you don't already have one). I tried this with a PNY XLR8 and Samsung 980 NVMe SSDs (both M.2 2280). At first I ran a benchmark in Windows 10 and the speed was much lower than expected (around 900MB/s), so I installed HWiNFO64 to check the PCIe speed and lanes... turns out my motherboard (ASUS ROG Maximus) sets the default lanes for the x4 slot to only x2 lanes (shared with additional on-board SATA, which I wasn't using) so I had to change that to x4 in the BIOS setup in order to get all 4 lanes. Afterwards the drives performed way faster (over 3000MB/s). Another side note: I also tried the card in a free x8 slot, but putting anything in there decreases the main GPU x16 slot to x8 - so I avoided that option. I think newer motherboards/CPUs have more PCIe lanes in general, but it's still worth checking the motherboard manual before installing. On Linux, one can use `lspci -vvv` to see current speed & lanes. Another caveat of this review - my PC only supports PCIe 3.0, so couldn't verify that this adapter runs fine at PCIe 4.0 speeds. ## Frequently Bought Together - EZDIY-FAB PCI Express M.2 SSD NGFF PCIe Card to PCIe 4.0 x4 M2 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 22110,2280, 2260, 2242) - EZDIY-FAB M.2 SSD Heatsink 2280, Double-Sided Heat Sink, High Performance Radiator for PC / PS5 PCIE NVME or SATA M.2 - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/29382638-ezdiy-fab-pci-express-m-2-ssd-ngff-to-pcie](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/29382638-ezdiy-fab-pci-express-m-2-ssd-ngff-to-pcie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
