A very superb purchase.
I installed this in two different machines for testing. One of them being an HP z440 workstation. With windows 11 on a Samsung 970 Pro, Crystal Mark shows 3,500 MB a second read and roughly 2,800 MB write speeds. Essentially all benchmarking with this device and this particular SSD came out the same if mounted in a supported motherboard with a Gen 3 PCIe. In both machines I tested it was bootable as if the drive was mounted directly to the board however I was putting it in an x-16 slot. At this time I have no regrets in this purchase and highly recommend it

Great price and easy to use
Used this upgrade my sons hard drive with a 1TB nvme M.2 and booted up without issues. Easy to install or remove and handles gaming no problem. Highly recommended

Works as advertised, very simple, easy installation. Has blue LEDs.
I really like the simplicity and look of this adapter, along with the cheap price. Probably the cheapest you are going to find. On top of it being delivered VERY quickly (Within 2 days). As far as the technical details, I got the full speed of my m.2 NVME drive (It was a WD BLUE SN550). Remember that m.2 NVME drives require 4 data lanes to operate at full speed (4x, which is good for compatibility as almost all motherboards, even older ones, can support this), and also an 8x or 16x PCI-e slot is NOT going to give you more speed... This is a very big misconception I see people review and complain about the product when it just does NOT work like that. Your device is only as fast as it operates. It is like complaining that your mechanical 5000RPM HDD doesn't run as fast as your SSD (And they use the same SATA interface). The only thing an x8 or x16 lane can offer is if it can do bifurcation, then you could run x2 NVME drives on an x8, and x4 on an x16 lane. Your motherboard has to support that. (Google and learn before going all out).I knocked off a star because it was commented that this board did NOT have LEDs (Which is why I chose this one). It does in fact have FOUR bright blue LEDs that indicate the drive read/write. I do not like this for cosmetic purposes, and I could complain that it is a little energy waste... The heat-sink that it comes with does cover them, but I wanted to use it without the heatsink. It also did not come with any instructions, and any information is hard to find online (Although it is pretty straightforward if you consider yourself tech-savvy with this). Besides that; it's cheap and affordable, low-profile/small, looks decent, packaged well, and gets the job done.

Works well in a MacPro4,1 upgraded to 5,1.
Installed this in my Mac Pro Tower 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) and using a 1TB ADATA XPG SC8200 Pro NVMe SSD as a Boot Drive running Mojave with a Radeon RX-580 Graphics Card. Some initial instability, but now apears to be rock solid once I reseated the adapter in the second (16x) slot. As with my previous OWC SATA 3 PCIe card, I had to put a small felt spacer between it and the graphics card to provide enough clearance for the RX 580 fan to spin freely. Not as fast as this NVMe card could actually go, but still 3 times the read speed of the SATA 3 SSD I had in it and over 10x the write speed at ~1500MBps on both due to limitations of PCIe 2.0 4x interface - whereas a bridged card would be required to max out this particular NVMe card speed of ~3000MBps on these Macs on the PCIe 2.0 16x lane slot.

Works fine, good price
Not much too these little adapters and over read reviews where people say the cheapest one work the same and the most expensive ones. This one liked exactly like some of the more expensive ones and I bet they are made at the same factory in China. It came with extra screws and a little screwdriver. It comes with the heat sync closed and the little screws were really tight but of you press really hard you should not strip them out, just be careful.

Killed My Motherboard - WARNING !!!
I would have given this -10, but unfortunately 1 is the least I can give it.I bought this adapter for my Dell T7500 server so I can faster speed. But instead my motherboard died and didn't even boot up in to bios right after I installed this adapter. I spent days trying to recover it back and finally end up buying a new motherboard. This is a huge disappointment and not only I lost money, but my valuable time which trying to troubleshoot this and also waiting days for new motherboard.Thanks,

You need your own screwdriver
It's pre-assembled so tightly that the freebie screwdriver they give you shears off and strips trying to remove the 4 screws. But, I always wanted a tiny screwdriver set anyway. Plan ahead, still better then others as the heatsink is screw mount instead of rubber bands that break when you look at them.

Easy to install
This is a great way to put an m.2 into a older pc. It's works great and is simple to install. The screwdriver that comes with it is a little small for the screws that are installed in the heatsink. And it will easily strip if not careful. That's the only downfall and the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5.
