Careful, not all motherboards support booting to a drive in one of these if that is the intended use case.
Do you want to add extra storage to a desktop computer?
Would you like to use an NVMe M.2 drive?
Are you out of free M.2 slots on your motherboard?
Do you have at least 4 PCIe lanes available?
Do you have at least an x4 PCIe slot available?

If you answered yes to all 4 questions, this might be the product for you. This will allow you to put the M.2 NVMe drive of your choice inside of it, and then stick it into your motherboard.
No, he means older motherboard BIOS do not support booting from NVME drives. You must mod your BIOS (AMI) if you have an older system.

Will this work on a 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 running Monterey with OpenCore Legacy Patcher?

Hey PC geniuses, will this work with this HP who only has one slot, some folks said this would be needed, if so which one is recommended? TIA

No, the board is RenoR2, the empty PCI Express 3.0 slot is x1, not x4 or above.

I tried this in a ThinkCentre desktop. Didnt work. I think depends on the motherboard. I wasnt trying to boot to it either.

Quote from DoobieBrother :
I would think, "If" you were to need this , you might want to get a multi drive card. I saw a 4 drive card somewhere and almost bit, but that was when 2 and 4 tb drives were dirt cheap. It is nice to see a heat sink.
The multi-drive cards often need PCIe Bifurcation in order to work correctly. Many motherboards may not support that feature.

It'll still work, just at 1x speeds.

I have a RIITOP version of this, appears to be identical.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GFDVXVJ

It works well, I'm currently using it in a Ryzen7/B550 system to mirror the onboard NVME drive.

Very true, though Clover as a boot stub is an amazing solution for this.

https://github.com/CloverHackyCol...Bootloader [github.com]

I know the repo makes it look unapproachable, but I was able to figure it out with a tutorial pretty easily. Used it to boot older servers with NVMe pcie adapters like these
seconded! My motherboard doesnt support booting from nvme, but I was able to get clover set up with a PCIE vnme add-on card similar to this one. It's been working flawlessly now for over 5 years!

Quote from thebians :
I appreciate the suggestion of the engineered support from a (slot) bracket for support. But, I think we should be avoiding "jolts" on desktops generally. Also, does anyone really have that loose of a slot? I remember many slots having quite a firm grip in my experience, so I really don't expect it to be a problem.
You apparently don't have a cat.

Meh. Some OEMs actually update their BIOS from time to time, and HP in particular dropped NVMe boot availability in the 800 G2 BIOS a year or three back. They might have done it for other models too, but that's the only one I was interested in.

That is incorrect. This adapter requires a full size x16 slot, and runs at x4/x8/x16 speeds depending on the slot configuration.

In for one, just to see if this works. My desktop is xw8600, it is 16 Y/O and it outlived four VCs, now on 2060 (had to get a 2x 6 pin to 8 pin adapter for it, as it only came with 6 pin power lines), saw SSDs come to existence and got upgraded that way...now I might as well see if this can work with it.

And yes, it is maxed out on DDR3 667mhz ECC ram, I didn't splurge for RAM risers back in the day. It still runs everything well, even video games. Some most recent games don't launch though, as they can't reconcile with the ancient Xeon CPUs. I played NMS, Monster Hunter World, Master Chief collection, Watch Dogs 2 without a problem.

No, you're mistaken. If you look at the link you provided it shows 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x slots. If you look at the adapter it has notches so it can be slotted into each of those slot sizes.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/imag...086385.jpg

If you look at a GPU you'll see it lacks the notches and can only be slotted into an x16 slot. It's also why motherboards ship with x16 slots that only operate at x8, because GPUs won't physically fit in an 8x slot.

Sabrent [sabrent.com] says it will not fit x1 slots.

FWIW, if you only have an x1 slot available, just get an x1 adapter. [amazon.com] It's cheaper and will never need a heatsink because the SSD will never run fast enough to get hot.

There is no official BIOS from your motherboard manufacturer, most likely. However, I have successfully modded several old systems to use NVME as boot drives with adapters.

This is neat, but if you're using a machine that's old enough to not have native NVMe boot support, you'll probably get great OS performance from a decent SATA SSD with good 4K Random benchmarks.
