To start there were no instructions. Then there is not enough hardware to move the mounting hardware. The card does not detect in the computer. Pure junk and a waste of money.

First, this card requires PCIe Bifurcation 4x/4x. What that means is that in your motherboards BIOS you need to tell it to split the slot from 8x to 4x/4x mode or not all your M.2 ssds will show up. This is something YOU have to research on your own for your motherboard. Otherwise I can confirm that it works and at full PCIe 4.0 speeds. I tested extensively with a Samsung 980 Pro 500GB and a MSI M480 Pro 1TB with CrystalDiskMark. I also monitored windows even log and HWiNFO64 and found not WHEA PCIe errors.

Like it says, your system MUST support lane splitting. Works great, I only needed one slot, so this gives me room to add more storage when I upgrade my system in the future.The way the screws and metal gromet thingy hold the ssd in place took a couple minutes to figure out, but it's simple enough. Would've preferred a more standard standoff and screw, but this probably helps keep the cost down.

Requires lane bifurcation through motherboard. Got it set up and everything worked great first try.

I have an older ASUS Z97-AR mobo. The M.2 socket didn't work with the 1TB "m" slot type stick even though the mobo won't take the "b" type sata stick. Couldn't boot from it so decided to use it as fast secondary storage. This card gave me two m type slots and I added a second 1TB stick. Discovered SLOT 2 on this card will not be recognized on this mobo. I believe it is due to the mobo unable to split PCIe channels. Product support suggests I remove graphics card. LOL! This renders the system unusable so this was not the "Good Solution" I thought it was. If I change mobo's then I will test this again but for now it works with only one m.2 stick. Transfers between this and SATA SSD's are as fast as SATA can handle. Even with the limitation with SLOT 2 I am still pleased with the product.

The card does not support two drives.Lots of garble about the motherboards having to have split this etcSimple solution a list of only supported motherboards.---This card says it's 8x pcie and has two m2 connectorsinstalled in asus d10-pe 16 server board (2 8x and 3 16x) currently in 8x and second drive not showing up.Slot 1 is C drive and it boots without any issues ... but does not see the second driveBoth drives are samsung 970 evo plus m2--Best I can dig out of it all ... is it's actually two 4x connectors in an 8x card and only works on motherboards that have a split option on them. (Meaning a specific model of mobo.---Sept 25.Dear customer,I have sent your question to our supplier.It will take 3-4 days to wait the answer.Hope your kind understanding.Please contact me in the next 3-4 days, I will reply to you.Waiting for your reply.Best wishes.---Amazon note: You have already submitted feedback for this message.---It's Oct 3. so return message fail also---So pretty bad item descriptionAs for the single stars .. you can't leave none so have to leave one ...but NO techsupport.Value for money?... it would have been a great $10 single drive card.---And obviously I can't return it until I get another working product in hand because all up to date data is on the drive.I started with computers in 1978 so I'm pretty confident I've done my homework.

Compatible con placa principal antigua; fácil de instalar. Le instalé un SSD M2 PCIe de 2T y lo reconoció de inmediato.
