    Quality product and well presented

    I liked the enclosed instructions and the accessories that came with the card.
    Advantage of this card compared to an ordinary SSD. It supplies power to the NMVE via the bus.

    does the job

    Installation on the CM without any problem.
    The purpose of this purchase was to free up 2 sata ports that were being condemned by the use of an M2 card directly on my CM (Asus Maximus Ranger VIII)
    Finally I discovered that my CM does not support booting from a PCI express slot (or I did not find it in the bios...). The advantage of this card is that there are 2 slots for the M2 (1 PCI-E and 1 SATA). I have used the SATA port and in this case I can boot on this M2 drive.
    I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a bootable disk.

    Very good M2" PCI card - Classic M2

    I-TEC PCI-E 2X M.2 CARD (PCE2M2) is a good alternative for those who don't have M2 on their motherboard. You install on the PCI slot, no driver is needed (for me).

    Works perfectly

    9/10 works perfectly on a Z270 gaming pro carbon with a M2 NVME SSD (tested on Corsair MP510 1TB and Samsung EVO 960 250GB). I put the card on a PCI 16x slot and no problems.
    The read/write speed is good to very good, I didn't do a comparison on an M2 slot directly but it's much better than SATA. Works on Windows and Linux.

    -1 for the useless plastic packaging

    I'm not sure if this is a good review or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good review. I haven't found such a detailed description elsewhere.

    PCI-E 4X, 8X and 16X compatible

    This card is not PCI-E 1X compatible, too bad it is not mentioned in the description.
    So I couldn't test it. The LDLC service department did tell me that it was 4X, 8X and 16X compatible.
    I take off one star for the ton of plastic packaging that surrounds this card, hey ho, it's 2019!!!
