Specification Brand : GLOTRENDS BulletPoint1 : M.2 NVMe to PCIe X1 Adapter: The adapter allows you to convert one PCIe X1 slot on your motherboard to an M.2 Key M slot, thus enabling you to install an M.2 NVMe SSD into this PCIe X1 slot. BulletPoint2 : Advantage and Disadvantage: The advantage is that instead of taking up the X16 slot on the motherboard, it utilizes the free PCIE X1 slot on the motherboard. The disadvantage is that it only has the maximum bandwidth of PCIE X1, and can not reach PCIe X4 full-speed BulletPoint3 : No limit to the capacity of the M.2 NVMe SSD: Support 2T/4T (Note: Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 PCIe (NVMe/AHCI) 4.0/3.0 M.2 SSD, not support M.2 SATA SSD) BulletPoint4 : Support OS Booting: Reinstall the OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI boot from this M.2 NVMe SSD (Note: Some motherboards are too old to support OS booting. In this case, M.2 NVMe SSDs can be used as storage disks) BulletPoint5 : OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Not support Windows 7). The new M.2 NVMe SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host. BulletPoint6 : It comes with an M.2 heatsink kit (22x70x6mm aluminum body) for cooling up to 5°C-30°C BulletPoint7 : Accessories: Pre-installed 12cm regular-profile bracket, 8cm low-profile bracket, M.2 Heatsink kits (SSD standoff for 2230/2242/2260 position installation, M.2 screw, thermal pad, etc) BulletPoint8 : Three Year Warranty Capacity : 480 GB Color : Black CompatibleDevices : PC/Mac Pro CompatibleDevices1 : Laptop CompatibleDevices2 : Desktop ConnectivityTechnology : SATA CustomerPackageType : Standard Packaging DataTransferRate : 750 megabytes_per_second DigitalStorageCapacity : 6 GB ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier1 : 843591013833 ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier2 : 0843591013833 ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier3 : 4054318041626 ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier4 : 04054318041626 FormFactor : 2.5-inch GpsrSafetyAttestation : 1 HardDiskFormFactor : 2.5 inches HardwareInterface : pci_express_x1 HardwareInterface1 : sata_3_0_gb HardwareInterface2 : sata_6_0_gb HardwarePlatform : PC HardwarePlatform1 : laptop HardwarePlatform2 : PC HardwarePlatform3 : Linux IncludedComponents : BarraCuda Q1 SSD InstallationType : Internal Hard Drive ItemDisplayDimensions_Width : 70.1 millimeters ItemName : GLOTRENDS PA09-X1-HS M.2 NVMe to PCIe X1 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink for 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 NVMe SSD, PCIe X1 Installation (Black) ItemPackageDimensions_Height : 14.1 centimeters ItemPackageDimensions_Length : 2.6 centimeters ItemPackageDimensions_Width : 13.3 centimeters ItemPackageQuantity : 1 ItemTypeKeyword : computer-internal-solid-state-drives Manufacturer : glotrends Material : Plastic MemoryStorageCapacity : 90 GB ModelName : BarraCuda Q1 SSD ModelNumber : PA09-X1-HS NumberOfBoxes : 1 NumberOfItems : 1 NumberOfLithiumIonCells : 5 NumberOfLithiumMetalCells : 5 OperatingSystem1 : Linux OperatingSystem2 : Windows 7 PackageLevel : unit PartNumber : PA09-X1-HS Pattern : Q1 Series Platform1 : windows_7 Platform2 : windows_vista_business Platform3 : windows_vista_home_basic Platform4 : windows_vista_home_premium Platform5 : windows_vista_ultimate Platform6 : windows_xp_home Platform7 : windows_xp_professional ProductDescription : GLOTRENDS PA09-X1-HS M.2 NVMe to PCIe X1 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink for 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 NVMe SSD, PCIe X1 Installation ProductSiteLaunchDate : 2022-03-14T08:54:14.379Z ReadSpeed : 555 megabytes_per_second Size : 90 GB SpecificUsesForProduct : Multimedia StreetDate : 2020-09-30T00:00:01Z Style : SATA SSD SupplierDeclaredDgHzRegulation : not_applicable SystemRequirements : SATA 6Gb/s port UnitCount : 1 UnspscCode : 43200000 WarrantyDescription : 12 Month Warranty Wattage : 3600 WriteSpeed : 505 megabits_per_second
