- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2024Bought this to use NVME drives for my QNAP NAS - works perfectly, great fit and a good price
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2020Using this adapter and an appropriate U.2 cable (purchased separately) to house a WD Black SN750 NVMe drive to use as a VR game library.
When both cables plugged in, detected the drive immediately. After formatting, drive was benchmarked through Crystal Mark - expected read / write speeds for an NVMe drive. The adapter does not appear to impede drive performance at all, much to my relief as it takes the sting out of having an odd motherboard with a U.2, but not M.2 PCIe inputs and allows for much desired NVMe speeds without forking out ludicrous amounts for a dedicated U.2 storage device.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2024I would have preferred to see the the side rails at the M.2 standoff end fixed to the PCB as I use this in an ICY DOCK MB111VP-B M.2 to U.2 mobile rack system, but perfectly adequate for a permanent case installation.
Gives good R/W speed results in my setup.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2020I try the piece in 3 different computers and the piece didnt work
Ít's a pity because I realy need a connection for a Nvme SSD (M key) and it's hard to find.
If somebody knows this connection please inform me
Nvme SSD (M key and a SATA III
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2024It's a good product just too expensive for what it is you can get the same thing (different brand) On eBay for under £7 don't get ripped off fellow enthusiast.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2017Used 6 of these with Samsung 960 Pro and 960 Evo NVMe M.2 drives in an NVMe drive bay extension kit for a HP ProLiant ML350 Gen 9 and they all worked a treat - excellent performance, no compatibility errors or warnings and showed up straight away in DiskMgr. Couldn't be happier.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2019Working well.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2019dont work with M.2 hard drives M key

KishReviewed in the United States on 12 February 20235.0 out of 5 stars Full PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds through U.2 slot
U.2 may be dead in the consumer space, but using this adapter we're able to convert the port to a standard M.2 port, since both use PCIe protocol natively. Now I can have 3x M.2 drives on my system natively!
I'm pleasantly surprised to see full PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds through this adapter. My U.2 slot goes through the chipset (AMD WRX80), so 6.4 GB/s is about the max we can get. PCIe 4.0 U.2 ports connected directly to the CPU can get up to 7.5 GB/s. This adapter is simple and gets the job done.
I do wish some kind of heat sink material was included with this adapter, as PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives tend to run hotter. But probably a non-issue unless you're hammering the M.2 drive with constant IO. Just mount this somewhere near the front of the case so the drive can get some airflow.

Vicente Flores TapiaReviewed in Mexico on 5 September 20225.0 out of 5 stars llego muy rápido, compatible QNAP

Sven B.Reviewed in Germany on 1 July 20245.0 out of 5 stars Für QNAP TS-h973AX-8G geeignet
Der Artikel ist schlicht und bietet die Möglichkeit eine M.2 SSD auf einen U.2 Anschluss zu adaptieren.
In meinem Fall habe ich mir die Rahmen in einer QNAP TS-h973AX-8G verbaut und damit die Cache-Beschleunigung aktiviert.
Fazit: Guter Adapter und für meinen Zweck ideal.
