M.2 (NGFF) SSD to PCIe 3.0 X16 Card for Samsung 960 970 EVO
M.2 stands for Next Generation Form Factor which is invented for PCI-SIG by Intel and it is developed for flat and high-efficiency equipment such as Ultrabook or Tablet PCs. It is a natural transition from the Mini Card and Half Mini Card to a smaller form factor in both size and volume which supports multiple function add-in cards/modules including: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, global navigation satellite systems, near field communication, Hybrid digital radio, wireless gigabit alliance (WiGig), wireless wide area network and solid-state storage devices. Also adds functionality to USB 3.0, display Port, SDIO and SSD-PCIe.

| Specifications | Key Features of an M.2 to PCIe Adapter Card Compatibility: Ensure the adapter is compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs, as the Samsung 960 and 970 EVO are NVMe drives. Some adapters may only support SATA M.2 SSDs. Interface: The card should have an M-key or M+B key slot to match the connector type of the Samsung SSD. Both the 960 and 970 EVO utilize the M-key. Heat Sink: Some adapter cards come with a heat sink to help dissipate heat, which can be beneficial for maintaining optimal performance during prolonged use. Form Factor: Ensure the adapter fits your case and motherboard. Most M.2 to PCIe adapters are low-profile, but it's still good to check. Installation Steps Insert the SSD: Carefully slide the Samsung 960 or 970 EVO into the M.2 slot on the adapter card, ensuring it's properly seated and locked in place with the screw provided. Install the Adapter: Insert the adapter card into a free PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard. Secure it with a screw if necessary. Power On and Configure: Boot your system. If it's the first time using the SSD, you may need to initialize it in your operating system’s disk management tool. Install Drivers: Depending on your operating system, you might need to install specific drivers for the SSD or the adapter card to ensure optimal performance. Recommended Adapter Cards IOCREST M.2 NVMe to PCIe Adapter: Known for good compatibility and thermal management. Sabrent M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe Adapter: Offers excellent performance and includes a heat sink. ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card: Allows for multiple M.2 drives and includes a robust cooling solution. |
