Vantec M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Low Profile Adapter with 110 Length Support (UGT-M2PC130), Black

Esta conectodo a un slot pcie x16 3.0 y se detecta como x2 3.0, cambie a un adaptador chino generico y se lee correctamente x4 3.0, el problema es el adaptador.

In my case, there was not any gain, as the motherboard in this computer, won't allow booting from this drive.

Worked fine for the first 8 months then started having problems. Intermittently not seen by the mobo. Swapped same nvme ssd (WD Black SN850) to different adapter and ran several days. Put the Vantec back in and not recognized at all. Adapter apperas to have died. I do not recommend this product.

I used it to put 3rd NVMe SSD into my tiny mini-ITX build in a Morex 557 case. The motherboard already supports 2 NVMe drives, one on the top and one on the bottom. It turned out, there's enough room in the Morex case to not even need the adapter to be this low-profile, but I'm not complaining. The instruction is a bit confusing, but ultimately all correct. I like how the heatsinking is all on the bottom side of the NVMe drive. That means, for a single-sided NVMe drive, all the chips are still clearly visible. Heatsinking appears to be effective on my 970 PRO drive, which is one of the hotter running drives.
