This Sabrent PCIe adapter is mainly a simple way to add an NVMe M.2 drive to an older PC or a board with extra PCIe space, and it can run cool and feel sturdy in hand. Installation is straightforward, though the listed version still uses an M.2 screw instead of a tool less clip system. Boot support depends on motherboard BIOS support, and some older systems may not detect the drive at all, even though it can still work as secondary storage or with Linux and Clover boot workarounds. It is just the adapter, so the NVMe drive is not included.

Common Questions (5)

  • Only if the motherboard BIOS supports booting from the PCIe slot or NVMe devices. Older systems may not see it at all, but Clover on a small USB stick can sometimes make the setup bootable.

  • It can add an extra NVMe slot on boards with spare PCIe lanes or slots, and users reported it running cool and working without issues on lower-end MSI and Asus X570-E systems.

  • Yes. It can still work as secondary storage for games or other files, and Linux may recognize it even when an older Windows system does not.

  • No. It is only the adapter card, so you need to supply your own NVMe M.2 SSD.

  • No. This version still uses an M.2 screw to secure the drive, while a tool-less version uses plastic retaining clips.

Only if the older PC supports boot from pci-e slot in the bios settings, though.

You can still use it for secondary storage for games and stuff even if you can't boot to it

For the experts out there. Apart of this being bulkier, and eventually better for cooling, what is the difference with this one, also on sale? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQZ6S...title&th=1

Zero. This is just an adapter and you would need to supply your own NVMe drive.

Yep, or even support any M.2 drive in the PCI-e slot. I thought I could clone a Win10 machine from the SATA HD to a M.2 on one of these types of cards in the PCIE card slot. Bios didn't see it, windows 10 didn't see it.

So no only could I not ever boot from one, I couldn't use it as a secondary drive either. This was an 'off network' Win10 Blue Iris install.

Yours is a completely tool-less installation. The one in the OP still requires the M.2 screw to secure the drive. Yours uses plastic retaining clips to secure the drive.
I'd opt for the tool-less version, personally.

I have an old Gaming PC and want to make bootable SSD. Is this compatible with MSI B85M-P33 motherboard? The MB have 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slot.

I have this and super easy to use. My mobo was a lower end MSI that only has 2x m.2 slots. Needed to install another for photos, music, etc. Drive operates in it at a cool temp and has no issues.

FYI I bought x4 and x16 PCIe adapters from Aliexpress for $2.59 each back in October and they've been working fine.
