Qualitative, but not easy to put on
Bought this mainly to add a 3rd m2 pci express port to my MSI Z370 gaming pro carbon.
Replaced my 2 x 500gb M2 Nvme & SATA SSDs with 2 x M2 NvMe in 2TB and my old 500gb samsung nvme on the said card all perfectly recognized by my motherboard.
The positive points:
- I can also use both ports at the same time.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the M2 sata port on the motherboard and the nvme port on the pci express port on the cm.
Negative points:
- The 2 brackets provided (small and large) are a pain in the ass to put in, you have to place the card at an angle and then press to get the leds in.
- The system of maintenance of the dissipators with elastics in I don't know what silicone or rubber it is badly done; to see in the time
- I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the two ports at the same time, but if it's just one, it's not a good idea to use the other.
- It's more expensive but I would recommend SSDs with a heatsink for the nvme port

I'd like to check if this type of slot exists on the layout of your motherboard.
The product is good, but you need to reserve a Sata cable to make it work.

Simple and effective
Easily installed on an MSI B150M motherboard without M2 port and after updating the bios.
Combined with a SanDisk Extreme PRO® M.2 NVMe 3D SSD on which the old hdd was cloned.
A good upgrade for an aging PC and for a cheap price.
No French manual.

A successful PC upgrade
Installed without a problem but you have to take the time to look at the pictures and in particular the picture on the box is the only one really usable. I put it in an (old) 2012 Z77 Extreme4 card on the PCIE3 slot with a Samsung 970 PRO 1TB NVME. I installed a new Bios as Asrock added NVMe support in 2018. Kudos to Asrock by the way for maintaining their Bios 6 years after the release of their motherboard!!!
