About this product
This PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion card allows for the installation of an M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD. It features a heatsink for improved thermal performance and supports the 2280 form factor. Designed for desktop use, this card offers a high bandwidth of 256Gbps, leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface to maximize SSD speeds. It comes as a single unit, weighing 0.84 pounds.
Our take
This expansion card is a straightforward upgrade for anyone looking to add a fast M.2 NVMe SSD to their desktop, especially if they have an available PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. The included heatsink is a smart addition, as it's crucial for maintaining performance and longevity of high-speed NVMe drives. Supporting the common 2280 size is convenient. While the '256Gbps' bandwidth is impressive, it's worth noting that it's the theoretical maximum for the x16 slot, not necessarily the actual speed of a single M.2 drive. This card focuses on single-drive expansion, which is fine, but if you need multiple M.2 slots, you might look elsewhere.
