GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 - Review

Introduction

Upgrading your system's storage performance with an M.2 PCIe SSD is a definite game-changer. However, without a compatible adapter, you won't be able to enjoy the full benefits of PCIe speeds. This is where the GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter with an M.2 Heatsink comes in handy. With this adapter, you can enjoy smooth and uninterrupted performance from your M.2 PCIe SSD. In this article, we'll take a closer look at its features and benefits, and why you should consider it for your desktop PC.

Compatibility and Capacity

The GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter is compatible with both PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 M.2 PCIe SSDs that are NVMe or AHCI. It comes with support for M.2 PCIe SSDs sizes 2230/2242/2260/2280 up to 4T capacity. With this adapter, you won't be limited by your SSD's capacity, giving you the freedom to store and run all your programs and applications faster than traditional storage drives.

Full Speed Performance

This adapter offers PCIe x4 full speed performance, similar to having your M.2 SSD directly mounted on your motherboard. With this full-speed performance, you can enjoy lightning-fast read and write speeds, making delivering high bandwidth data a breeze.

Bootable and Non-Bootable Capability

The GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter allows you to use your M.2 PCIe SSD as a bootable or non-bootable data drive. However, to achieve this, you need to reinstall your operating system and set up your BIOS/UEFI to boot from the M.2 PCIe SSD. Additionally, some older motherboards may not support OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD, and Windows 7 may not have a native NVMe driver, making it difficult to use your M.2 PCIe SSD as a bootable drive.

Aluminum Heatsink

With a thickness of 0.12 inches, the aluminum heatsink included in the GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter offers significant cooling effects. This will keep your M.2 PCIe SSD temperatures low under heavy loads, ensuring constant optimal performance. The cooling effect ranges from 5°C - 20°C and may vary depending on the environment.

Accessories included

The adapter comes with additional accessories that make the installation process effortless. These include a 12cm regular profile bracket, an 8cm low profile bracket, installation kits (thermal pad, M.2 screw, SSD standoff, screwdriver, 2 x Rubber bands, 2 x Metal clips).
