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.

I agree. It's either to add an NVMe storage drive to your system or finagle it as a boot drive to make an old system slightly faster than just sata SSD which is probably not worth it. Have a different brand one sitting on my desk unused that was like a $10 or $12 buck shipped slickdeal post. I did temporarily stick it in an old 3rd gen Intel system with a gen 4 NVMe just to bench it. It hit top end gen 3 speeds as limited by the motherboard but for most people even as a boot drive isn't going to be a big difference.

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

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

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.

If anything, they're generally slower than using a dedicated M.2 slot aside from some special circumstances that probably don't apply to anyone.

For instance, if your motherboard's only other M.2 slot was an M+B key (generally reserved for WiFi cards but keyed for dual purpose) yet it somehow also has bifurcation support on the PCIe slots, going with the PCIe slot might be faster than the M+B keyed M.2.

I've yet to see something like this, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It's best to consider these as last ditch options for when you've run out of practical expansion.

Personally, I would prioritize the SATA ports you already have or use external USB enclosures before messing with something like this.

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 usually require pcie bifurcation support to work unless it has a pcie switch chip. The ones with the switch are expensive.

Good point, I forgot about that aspect. One good jolt and your drive pops out and any progress of any kind is gone.

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.

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