It works. Nice and simple. Really well built metal frame and even comes with some screws and a handy screwdriver.

Works well with all windows drive activities, drive speed is as specified. Great build quality and looks the part.

Nice high quality, worked perfectly and m.2 ssd fitted without issues. performance not affected at all.

They say its metal, and its metal. It feels heavier than aluminum and I think its steel because you arent afraid to torque a screw (within reason) or remove and place it somewhere else. Fits in a laptop, and specialized tray for my case. I would say if anything this is more of a tiny bit tight. It is what you hope it is. It has mounting holes everywhere. The circuit board is held in solidly and the connectors work fine. You are getting your moneys worth for sure. I like it enough to have taken pictures. One thing, Terminology of these drives is tricky. This is an NGFF device. Next generation form factor. The two main types are SATA and NVMe. One runs on the older sata bus like current platter drives do. The other newer is NVMe. its faster and runs on the fast PCI express bus. These two have a different interface. Most of the time you need an add-in board connected to your motherboard for NVMe if it doesn't have the correct interface on the board when you bought it. If you are using the same wires as the thing you are replacing it almost assuredly is SATA. This is for SATA.

This adapter will give you better performance than the sabrent adapter hands down! This adapter looks to be made of better materials and looks to give a direct Sata to Sata connection. The sabrent has some clock chip on the board which makes me wonder if that’s what’s slowing it down. Also other manufacturers have step down regulators blow up and take out the drive in the process. This one has great reviews and the Chinese company that manufactures this also makes VERY good products. Every item from this electronic district in China has always impressed me in terms of quality and robustness. This item is used in a plex server. I need the performance to be 1:1 and reliability as it stays on 24/7. Don’t use sabrent! I was nervous about it while away from home. Now I don’t worry.

I bought it to use my M.2 SSD as a second drive in a new Laptop, I checked and based on the specs I had the correct M.2, The adapter is well designed, sturdy, easy to install and would be perfect if it worked for me. I tried it in 3 computers and none recognized the M.2. ( disk Management or Device Manager) or in the Bios). I contacted seller, they never responded. Amazon's answer is to send it back, Hope you have better luck that I did.

As you can tell by the image of the box, the label indicates it is for a B & M SSD connector. The actual connector only has a key for B. On the card itself, you can see that it says "B Key." When I plugged it in, though, it actually worked. I mounted the drive, created a GPT partition table, created a partition, and wrote to it just fine. I actually started a return with Amazon, because I thought it wouldn't work (this is the second brand that has said it was B+M and turned out to only be B keyed), so I cancelled the return and plan to keep it. It is very confusing, though. I'll have to put a label on it so I know it is for B+M at a later date when I have forgotten all of this. Maybe the factory ran out of B+M keyed connectors to solder onto the card and decided to just use the ones they could get their hands on. They should probably mention this in the item's description.

This was super simple right out of the box. It was exactly what I needed for one of my old laptops. Unfortunately, I have to sacrifice speed going from M2 to Sata but that is certainly not the adapters fault. The product is pretty spot on and super easy to install. I don't believe there were instructions, except a diagram printed on the box. However, unless you are a total bozo it's super easy to figure out. Overall, great product and I would certainly buy again if I needed to.
