A really simple yet very useful Slim-Profile M.2 PCIe adapter card. I don't trust the cheap m.2 adapters being sold around the web after seeing a friends m.2 ssd get fried from some knock-off having a capacitor blow. I've been using Asus products for years, and right off the bat, a simple install and it works. Just a shame that these were discontinued.

The product works as expected. Fast shipping. Good packaging. This product is an adapter for installing an M.2 drive (e.g., Samsung 960) into an PCIe slot. One plus of this Asus adapter is that it has an air-gap shape of about 3/8 of an inch between the M.2 drive and the adapter's circuit board. This air-gap space allows additional air flow keeping the M.2 drive running at about 34 degrees C, well below 70 degrees C where throttling begins. The "low-price" adapters do not have such a generous air-gap space. Would buy again.

I have researched many different cards with the same function. Which is to connect a NVMe SSD to the system through a PCIe Gen 3 16x4 connector reaching the highest possible transfer speed achievable. I like the MINI size as in my system, a header protrudes from another card which would have interfered with this card had it been a full size card. This card is no longer available from ASUS as newer motherboards have on board M.2x4 slots available.
