Great video. I just installed the SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card and it works great. My HP desktop came with a Samsung M.2 256GB SSD, and I upgraded it to a Samsung M.2 980 Pro SSD with heatsink. I used the Sabrent card to initially house the 1TB SSD and cloned it from the original 256GB SSD with the Samsung migration software. Once I cloned the new SSD, I swapped them out, and have the original 256GB SSD as an extra hard drive. Everything seems to be working just fine. Thank you!
Thank you. This helped me out greatly.
Thank you. I was able to do this whole process due to this video. :)
I got a 5 year old pc that did not have Nvme or USB-c when I built it so this gives me a great way to add a high speed drive that I can later move to a new machine.
Mine came with three rectangular thermal pads as well, two thin pads and one extra thick. First, I've cut one of the thin pads into two pieces, put the small piece above the SDD's controller and rest on all of the memory chips; Second, I put the very thick pad under the SSD's mounting plate between it and the anterior surface of the adaptor; then, I layered the second thin pad between the posterior surface of the adaptor and the anterior surface of its backplate. I wasn't following any instructions, online or in its leaflet, was only going with how things fit together.
Works great!
Enjoy!
Thank you for this very informative and useful video!! I purchased a SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card with Aluminum Heat Sink, which appears to be the same device as that which is featured in this video. Unfortunately, the directions were convoluted. Step 5 has me screwing in the retainer screw to hold my SSD in place, while Step 6 goes straight to turning off your computer, then inserting PCIe card into x16 slot (Step 7) and then finally closing up the computer and restarting it (Step 8). There were 3 blue thermal pads in the box with my device. One was thicker than the other two. I used the thicker one and applied it directly to the NVMe M.2 drive, but what do I do with two thinner thermal pads? If it wasn't for this video, it would have taken me MUCH longer to figure out what to do next. There were ABSOLUTELY NO DIRECTIONS on what to do with the thermal pads and the step where you would have put the back 4 screws back in and attached the aluminum heatsink were also missing from the directions. I would have expected better written, more complete directions to be included with the product but, fortunately, Sabrent saved face by creating and uploading this video.
I’ve bought the product and added a WD SN850X to it…plugged it into my motherboard…but it’s not showing up when I boot up…what am I missing?
So this adapter wont limit the speed of the ssd at all right? My pcie x16 3.0 slots are up to 16 GBps even though its not gen 4. Theyre compatible with x4 as well so is that why it would limit the speed? Because it wouldnt use the slot as an x16 device but an x4 instead?
It would have been nice if you had explained how to determine the thickness of the heat pad needed and how to install. Also why was the included screwdriver not magnetized? smh
Thanks! Very informative.... As a result, I bought 1 from Amazon moments ago. 🤙
Fantastic!
I’ve acquired a Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD 2280 with a built in heat sink. Is that compatible with this product in terms of just fitting at all?
How do you know the correct size thermal pad?
I wish the installation was better. Lack of a good guide, the screws are the most microscopic ones Ive ever seen, and the heatsink doesnt really fit back correctly once a drive and heat strips are installed. But.. I just made some uh, physical modifications to make it work.
So besides that, the actual card itself works great. Just be aware they make a simple installation as annoying as it could be. But, still... for the price...cant beat it.
Why are the screws rusty? just got done getting them off, 3 of 4 were fine but the 4th one was super rusty and needed to be broken free. Iv seen a few people with the same issue but are not lucky enough to even get the screws off at all.
Would this adapter work on the ROG Strix B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi?
Running with an ASRock B450 Pro4 (NOT THE M) and bought the WD 850x 4TB for the second M.2 slot... only to figure out the dang thing is for SATA 3 M.2 and not NVME M.2...
(Didn't know this was a difference, it's not made clear.)
Regardless, question for this part... I've installed the NVME M.2 into it and still do not see it available in Device/Disk Management, nor on my BIOS... any idea for solutions anyone??
Will my Samsung 990 pro run at full speed with this ? Thanks you
I tried one but would not work
Thank you for the video. I had seen another video where the guy placed all 3 thermal pads and my intuition told me that was wrong.
I have a question. My current motherboard has pcie Gen5 slots and I already have 1 M.2 pcie gen5 nvme.
Would this adapter be compatible electrically with pcie gen5 ? I am asking because I am thinking of moving to a workstation/server motherboard for a xeon CPU which also would have pcie gen5 slots (7 of them!!) but only has one m.2 nvme slot and it is only pcie gen3!! (it is a server board cheaper than the workstation board which has more m.2 slots of pcie gen4 or 5). I was thinking with this adapter I could use several pcie gen4 nvme but the question popped up to my mind: Would this adapter be pcie gen5 compatible as well so I can use nvme gen5?
Does this work with PCIe x16 gen 2? I know it'd be limited by gen 2 speed but does it work?
0:12 Hey Sabrent. it's storage, not memory.
Trying to install this card at the moment. It came with 1 thick thermal pad and two identical-thickness thin pads. The instructions don't say one word about where to place the pads or which one(s) to use. The thick pad seems too thick and the thin pad seems too thin. The product may be well designed, but the documentation certainly is not.
So from what I can tell with mine, you are supposed to use the thick pad between the top of the drive and finned heatsink, and one thin pad between the back plate. This is why they have copper exposed on both side, so heat will be drawn from both sides of the drive.
Nope, you got to be smarter than the thermal pad.
Oh ffs, that thing is multiple thermal pads and not just a single pad. No wonder I had trouble getting this thing back together with an SSD mounted.
God forbid the manual should actually explain this. So irritating
I like the idea that this is more of an adapter for the drive, as opposed to for the motherboard. It seems it would keep the drive quite safe when out of the machine as well.
I have one question I haven't been able to find an answer for, if I'm using this on an older motherboard with PCIe 3.0 I know I won't get the full potential of the M.2 drive, but will I still get more speed than the SATA3 SSD I have now?
ofc mate, i have a similiar situation...i have only have PCIe 3.0 but have a 4.0 m.2. its simple.... 3.0 can handle 4000mbps. so even with a 4.0 m.2 you wont have any performence direct performence losses you are just tied to the limit of the 3.0 PCIe
@@dennismerk2229 ah, cool, thanks for the info! I have had it in my PC for a couple months now and the speeds are amazing. Haven't ran any benchmarks, but games with particularly long load times are dramatically reduced, even over the SATA3 SSD
Isn't the adapter limited to PCI-E 3.0 anyway? 🤔
No, its a 4.0 card. (They sell a 5.0 one too now) However if your motherboard only has 3.0 slots, it will still run, just at slower (3.0) speeds.
Looks like a decent product, my only issue is the way it's described. Generally one would start with the source then specify the destination. There are M.2 to PCIe adaptors which are different from PCIe to M.2 adaptors (which this would be more typically described as)
By m.2 key he meant m.2 m key, itll be the only thing thatll slot through, should have one rounded cut out on the top half of the m.2
CAN YOU PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THIS ADAPTER IS FULLY PCI-E 4.0 16X BANDWITH? (32 GBPS) BECAUSE I ONLY COULD WATCH VIAS FLOWING TO THE FIRST 32 PINS (4X MAXIMUM SPEED WORKING MODE)
nvm express protocol itself only uses 4 pcie lanes, even if you see adapters with 16x size, it's still 4x
Very few people would find a need for this item. This guy is over selling this.
considering this adapter shown here is supporting X4, X8 and X16 why does it only have slots for 1 NVME drive? I have yet to hear of a NVME drive which support more than X4, so you won't really take advantage of the X8 or the X16. This you could do if it allowed for 2 or 4 NVME drives. I like the enthusiasm, but considering you are from a manufacturer of NVME drives as well as the adapter that is to be expected. It looks neat, but i fail to see what makes it solidly built as the video seems to give the impression it is.
x4, x8 and x16 are types of PCIe slots. The adapter he showed was for PCIe x16 slot.
Would this essentially let me install an nvme SSD into an older motherboard such as the gigabyte ud5h z77 that does not have any sort of slot for these, and it work at it's intended speeds??
It could at least be used as a faster storage drive, but that motherboard series doesn't support booting from an NVME add in card. You would need a SATA drive to boot from. Keep in mind not to buy a PCIE gen 4 drive as it'll just be limited by your motherboards earlier generation connection.
@@williammoon4612 So that pcie 4 drive would run at pcie 3.0 speeds basically? Which is what my board supports, i only planned to get a faster SSD for star citizen mainly lol not a boot drive, got a smaller sata SSD doing that already. Thank you very much
@@HazardWolfCorp No problem bud. Glad to help.
I added it to my ga-z77x-ud5h, and it did let me boot to that drive in the x4 slot. Works great!
No it will work too the motherboard allowances but it will probably be the fastest of what your can use with said motherboard. People poo poo on sabrent often but I've gotten great use out of their stuff. 👍
Where is the speedtest
I simply cannot understand why neither the video nor the manual makes any mention of which heatsink pad to use - this is just sloppy considering there are three that come in the box and that that you are targeting a newbie/first-time audience. I also found the quality of the pads very poor (ripped very easily) so I switched to a medium density pad from a heatsink I got on Amazon. It just seems to me that the manual itself is missing 2 steps of instructions. Anyway, apart from that, a good clear video but please consider in future that this omission is very confusing to anyone that has not installed one of them before.
Your saying Sabrent incorrectly, your British not American, and you didn't do a speed test.
That is an extremely boring heatsink. Would the SABRENT M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink be compatible with this card?
LOL boring? How exciting can a heatsink be?
How much RGB does your pc have?
I have 10 Sabrent NVMe drives. Rocket4 and Rocket4 plus. 9 Are two TB and one is one TB. Sabrent won't even tell sabrent drive owners which drive uses which thickness pad. Some drives have a chip on the back side and some don't.
Nice enunciation, but the script is stilted and how this video stretched to almost nine minutes without actually covering the important part of thermal interface selection properly is strange. It's an adaptor for a M keyed NVME. Too much reference to you need to check your manuals - for a non-technical video them emphasis is placed on the customer - the same customer that is probably non-technical watching a non-technical video for that reason. Other positives the presenter is smiling, but it seems forced. Perhaps more practice is needed.
I get the impression that marketing took some input from the techs and chucked the kitchen sink in, but without useful details, why because I've seen and experienced this elsewhere.
I appreciate this is critical feedback, but hopefully you take it in the manner it is intended.Other positives the presenter is smiling, but it seems forced. Perhaps more practice is needed.
You repeated some of what you wrote.
nice! but does it work on gen3? my MB is an asrock b450m steel legend with one extra 16x slot
O would say yes it would work. I have an Old MB from asrock a x99. And the regular m2 slot doesn’t detect the lexar nm 790 nvme. So i got this adapter. It worked perfectly. And you know. Asrock is known for Bad compatibility for nmve's
