I put this in a Mac Pro 5,1 with a 2Tb NVME - worked 1st time! I put this in a Mac Pro 5,1 with a 2Tb NVME - worked 1st time!

I got it to put a spare SSD I had laying around to some use. I slapped it on a full size PCI slot, but worked without any problems. PC recognized the SSD basically immediately.

This expansion card saved the day, allowing me to add a second M.2 SSD to my PC. And it's such a great price! This expansion card saved the day, allowing me to add a second M.2 SSD to my PC. And it's such a great price!

Unlike the very cheap kit sold online, this one worked absolutely perfectly first time. It's perfect for an extra NVME disk in your machine. Unlike the very cheap kit sold online, this one worked absolutely perfectly first time. It's perfect for an extra NVME disk in your machine.

Does exactly what it says on the box, would love if there was an included low profile bracket, but that's just a minor thing. Does exactly what it says on the box, would love if there was an included low profile bracket, but that's just a minor thing.

Works good, is a lot cheaper than external m.2 enclosures and is a lot easier than having to remove a graphics card to get access to onboard m.2 slots, when moving data from one m.2 to another Works good, is a lot cheaper than external m.2 enclosures and is a lot easier than having to remove a graphics card to get access to onboard m.2 slots, when moving data from one m.2 to another

Works great, came with tools required to assemble. Happy purchase Works great, came with tools required to assemble. Happy purchase

Bought it to add another SSD to my computer. Ended up not being able to use the PCI-E slot I wanted to use as it was the wrong size (my fault) However plugged it into my GFX slot, transfered from my old SSD to my new one and then replaced my GFX card again.

Functions exactly as the product is intended. I found the installation of the SSDto be somewhat difficult as the instructions weren’t super clear Functions exactly as the product is intended. I found the installation of the SSDto be somewhat difficult as the instructions weren’t super clear

It functions as advertised for a good price.

Just make sure your motherboard uses PCIE Gen 3.0 in the expansion slots.

Wife's PC old boot SSD died a death in December - (was pre wear levelling and actually had a fantastic lifespan considering)
Had a spare 256GB NVMe drive but her motherboard didn't have an M.2 slot.
Ordered the UGREEN M.2 NVME to PCI-E3.0X4 Express Card as a workaround. Usual great service from sales and it turned up within a day and a half (I'm in a rural town)
Instructions for installation are rather... basic, but then it isn't that difficult. I would assume most people purchasing this could work out how to install it even without the instructions.
Has worked a dream in the 3 months since. BIOS picked it up the card in it first time ...view more Wife's PC old boot SSD died a death in December - (was pre wear levelling and actually had a fantastic lifespan considering)

Has worked a dream in the 3 months since. BIOS picked it up the card in it first time and we had the OS on the spare drive and her up and running within 48 hours of the old SSD drive failing so hubby was a hero :)

Needed a cheap and fast way to migrate my PCIe NVMe M.2 to a new bigger capacity one (500GB -> 2TB) in my gaming setup that only has 1 M.2 slot on the MB! This worked without any issues and got the job done fast. Now it's installed in my Home Server / NAS where it adds and additional M.2 slot for the replaced drive.
