22110 M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter for M.2 NVMe SSD

• M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe X4 Full Speed Adapter: With this PCIe X4 adapter, M.2 PCIe SSD can operate at PCIe X4 full speed. It's like being installed directly on the motherboard, and the speed is basically unaffected.
• No Capacity Limitation: Support 2T/4T capacity M.2 PCIe (NVMe/AHCI) SSD, Support 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 size
• Work with PCIe 4.0/3.0 M.2 SSD, not Support M.2 NGFF SATA SSD: To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 (64Gbps) full speed, CPU, and motherboard PCIe slot and M.2 PCIe SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 feature. (Noted: Intel 11th Gen and above CPU support PCIe 4.0)
• Support OS booting from PCIe SSD: Need to reinstall OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI booting from this M.2 PCIe SSD. (Noted: Some motherboards are too old to set up OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. Additionally, Windows 7 may not support OS booting from M.2 PCIe SSD. In this case, M.2 PCIe SSD can be used as a storage disk)
• M.2 PCIe SSD as Storage Disk: Brand new M.2 PCIe SSD needs to be Initialized and formatted before the PC host recognizes it.
• OS compatibility: Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS. (Noted: Windows 7 does not have a native NVMe driver, so can not support M.2 PCIe SSD)

NVMe drive as boot drive or storage drive?

For the NVMe boot drive, you need to reinstall the OS (Windows 10 64bit/Windows 11 is recommended).

• First, you need to prepare a bootable USB drive and OS (Windows 10 64bit/Windows 11).
• When reinstalling the system, please select GUID Partition Table (GPT).
• OS will reboot after completing installation, remove the bootable USB drive, and enter BIOS to set UEFI boot mode

For NVMe storage drive, Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS

• Windows 7 can not support nvme drive
• Brand new NVMe drive needs to be initialized and formatted before OS recognizes it.

PCI-Express X4 Full Speed

• Supports PCIe X4 full speed and is PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0/1.0 compliant.
• To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed, your motherboard and CPU, and M.2 PCIe SSD should all support PCIe 4.0, otherwise can not reach PCIe 4.0 X4 full speed
• Intel CPU 11th generation and above support PCIe 4.0 feature

Installation

1. Unscrew the copper stand. Then snap it to the end of M.2 SSD (half-moon position), see step 2 picture
2. SSD is inserted diagonally into the adapter at a 30-degree angle
3. Screw the M.2 SSD to the adapter
4. Plug into the PCIe slot
