問題なく使えます。値段もそんな高いわけじゃないですし、大きいヒートシンク付いてていいと思います。ドライバもついてましたし、小型ネジのドライバ持ってない人も安心です。

The GLOTRENDS PA15 M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter works well. I've used it almost every day for the last 30 days with no problems. It is NOT used as a boot drive because the PC it's in doesn't support that. I'm using this in a 2013 Dell Inspiron 660 tower PC, Intel cpu -I5-3330@3.00 GHz, Windows 10 Home. The SSD installed in it is a Samsung NVME 990 pro 2tb. The card is installed in a PCIe Version 3.0 x16 slot. Installed was simple.

Confirmed working in an HPE DL380 G8 using the 16 and 8 slots using ESXI 6.7 and 7.0.3 out of the box. Able to extend the service life of these old servers with this simple adapter.Confirmed working in Dell Precision 7920 Tower in Windows 10, Windows 11, ESXI 7.0.3, and ESXI 8.0.Confirmed that a new out of the box nvme ssd from the leading manufacturer can be formatted, partitioned, and deployed using this adapter. In the description it says Windows is required but it was not.

1) Poor heat sink design: The heat sink has no adjustment for height of the NVMe card or thickness of the thermal pads. The pads must be somewhat compressed in order to work properly and there is a big gap between the pad and the heat-sink so it basically does nothing. most M.2 card heat-sinks have some adjustment range.2) The heat sink sits directly on top of the GHz PCIe lane traces. This is a bad idea because it changes the line impedance due to the added metal so close to the PCIe traces which will cause signal reflections. There is also a chance it will rub through the solder-mask and short out a trace. Mechanical components should not sit against circuit traces unless that trace is a chassis ground. Solder mask is not a reliable insulator.3) The heat sink I received only had threads in three of the four holes. The screw falls out of the fourth hole. Appears to be poor attention to manufacturing quality.Suggestion to Vendor: Hire a new mechanical engineer and redesign the heat sink, cool idea, bad design.

I used this to install an NVME cache in my server. Installing the NVME was simple. My server recognized the card and drive immediately.It's been running for a few weeks now without any problems.

Quality product. Worked great so far.

I wanted to add a data drive to my PC build. Unfortunately, my motherboard only had one M.2 socket. This adapter was just what I needed, as I had two open PCIe short connectors.Installation took about 10min total. Here are the steps for Windows 11 PC users to use the drive as AUX STORAGE, not a boot device, broken down way more than they need to be. MAC you are on your own!1. Open the adapter by removing the four screws on the back side and then taking off the heatsink cover. The screwdriver to do this is included with adapter.2. Remove the screw that is used to secure the M.2 drive - this comes by default in the 2280 hole, but the adapter supports 2280 - 2230 length devices.3. Slide the M.2 drive into the adapter, tilt down and screw it in place with the screw you took out in step 2.4. POWER OFF YOUR PC, then remove the cover so you can access the PCIe slots.5. When you've found your open PCIe slot, locate the blank filler plate in the back that corresponds to this slot (looks like the thing bolted to the adapter). Using a larger phillips head or nut driver, remove the single screw that holds the filler plate in place. Some PC's may not use a screw, so there might be a clamping mechanism, just figure it out. If the blank filler plate is the same size as the one attached to the adapter, skip to step 7.6. If the blank filler plate is a half-height (smaller than the one attached to the adapter) you need to unscrew the one connected to the adapter and swap it for the half-height one included in the kit.7. Test fit making sure that the adapter plugs into the PCIe port, and the mounting bracket fits where you removed the blank filler plate. Note that the PCIe port might be SHORTER than the number of connections on the adapter; that is fine for an SSD, and the PCIe port will have a slot cut in it so that part of the connector hangs out.8. When you have made sure it fits, apply the thermal tape (included with the adapter) to your SSD (peel off the cover on the adhesive on one side, stick it to the SSD, then remove the cover on the other side of the tape). Test fit the cover. I used a Samsung 990EVO Plus drive and the tape was not thick enough, so I added a second layer (kit includes 2 pieces). Not ideal, but worked.9. With the thermal transfer tape in place, replace the cover and tighten it down with the 4 screws you removed in step 1.10. Power on your PC. In order for you to use the drive, you must first initialize it, then format it.A. To initialize, in Windows open the Control Panel and select System and Security. Go down to Windows Tools and select "Create and format hard disk partitions". A pop up should appear saying that the disk needs to be initialized, and it will prompt you for MBR or GPT for the partition table. Select GPT, and say OK.B. To format, locate the new disk at the bottom of the disk management screen. Right click and choose Create Partition, then select a size. Repeat if you want multiple partitions for some reason. Format the partition NTFS, and choose a drive letter.Again, all those steps took about 10min in total; don't be intimidated it is very easy to do.

Acheté au départ pour l'ajout d'un nvme qui va arriver sur mon pc, j'ais du temps testé avec un nvme avec un système déjà installé dessus.Carte très bien finie, rad en aluminium très bien fabriqué aussi, reconnu directement par le pc et démarrage du système d'exploitation windows 11 directement dessusKit très complet et de qualité avec tous les vis nécessaire, pad thermique et tournevis.Format très fin qui passe sans soucis.LED avec interrupteur sur la carteParfait pour mon utilisation et vitesses conformes selon les version PCIE

4 screws to remove the heatsink, 1 to attach a 2280 M.2 drive. I'm glad they supplied 2 heattape strips, as one wasn't enough for my NVMe board (thin chips, I guess?) and the heatsink is secured to the board so screwing tighter doesn't help. Perhaps using 2 strips reduces the thermal efficiency of the heatsink, but it was still better than nothing at all. I tried just the adapter without any heatsink and that was worse than the 1 strip which was worse than the 2 strips, which was still worse overall than another adapter which has the heatsink directly on the M.2 chips.As for the adapter itself, if everything is PCIe4, the speeds are insane. If any component is PCIe3 (motherboard or M.2) then the speeds are still crazy fast, just not as fast. The adapter seem to be a straight PCIe to M.2 adapter which is great because it works with older AHCI cards. This adapter has a switch on the side for LED activity lights, which is handy for troubleshooting but might be annoying for daily use, so the included switch is very much appreciated. It even has solder spots for an external LED if someone really wants to go crazy. A half height bracket is also included for an SFF PC, which is exactly where this ended up after testing. Unfortunately that meant removing the heat sink all over again....
