Specification AgeRangeDescription : adult Brand : Bejavr BulletPoint1 : M.2 PCIe Adapter Supports PCI-Express X1, X4, X8, X16 slots. BulletPoint2 : PCIe NVMe Adapter read and write speeds are only PCIe X1 bandwidth, no PCIe X4 bandwidth. Theoretical value: ▁▅▉PCIe 4.0 ~ 2GB/s, ▁▃▆PCIe 3.0 ~ 1GB/s, ▁▂▃PCIe 2.0 ~ 0.5GB/s. BulletPoint3 : NVMe PCIe Adapter Apply to 2280/2260/2242/2230mm M.2 NVMe and AHCI SSD. Not Compatible with B-Key SATA M.2 SSD. BulletPoint4 : PCIe M.2 Adapter Supports Windows 11/10/8、Windows Server 2012 R2、Linux、Fedora、SUSE、Ubuntu、Red Hat(No driver required). BulletPoint5 : M.2 to PCIe Adapter with (tall and short) 2 mounting brackets and aluminum heat sink. BulletPoint6 : The data read/write speed is CPU/PC motherboard/M.2 SSD related, e.g. which PCIe version does it support? For example, PCIe 2.0/3.0/4.0, the speed is limited by the lowest hardware configuration. BulletPoint7 : Usually older PC motherboards do not support booting a computer system from PCIe, and booting a system from M.2 requires a newer, more modern chipset to do this.

Q: Can i boot off of the drive from this adapter? A: Usually older computer motherboards do not support booting from PCIe, As long as your motherboard has a modern enough chipset that supports booting from PCI Express m.2, yes this will work just fine as a boot drive adapter
Q: Included with the kit are two Thermal pads, one thick and one thin. If both are used which one goes where? A: (thick)Put one between the ssd and the carrier and (thin)one between the ssd and the heat sink.
