Used this with Samsung's SM951 128GB M.2 SSD and it's working great! Some people have experienced problems getting this to show the M.2 drive as a boot option, but if that happens to you, you may need to update your motherboard's BIOS with the newest firmware. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 motherboard and the BIOS it was shipped with was about a year out of date... got the newest firmware online and updated the BIOS. Boom, I was instantly able to see the hard drive.

Make sure you have a PCIe 3.0 slot to utilize to get the full bandwidth from this adapter!

And just in case anybody doesn't know, you CAN use this on a PCIe 3.0 x 16 lane (the big long PCIe slot), it plugs right in and just uses x4 leaving the rest of the slot empty.

This worked great with a Samsung 950 PRO -Series 512GB PCIe NVMe. I'm actually getting the advertised 2500 MB/sec read and 1500 MB/sec speed from the Samsung 950 PRO. Seeing those numbers blew my mind. There are a couple of things to keep in mind if you are going to use a NVMe SSD with this adapter.

1. Make sure you put this in a PCIe 3.0 x4 or higher slot on your motherboard and remember that the number of available lanes in your PCIe 3.0 slots will depend on what is in use in the other PCIe 3.0 slots. If you have a MB that was built to run 3 video cards but are only running 1 or 2, then you should be good to go. Check your motherboard manual to be sure.

2. Windows 10 has NVMe drivers out of the box, but I don't know about older versions of Windows. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to Windows 10 first.

3. If your motherboard isn't seeing the new drive make sure that your PCIe slots are enabled for UEFI. I did this install on a ASUS Z87-Pro and the drive wasn't detected until I switched PCIe Storage from "Legacy" to "UEFI". I'm doing this from memory so the wording may not be exact as to the exact motherboard setting, but it was something like that.

4. Make sure your motherboard is using the latest "non-beta" bios before you install the adapter and SSD.

Installed in Mac Pro 3,1 early 2008 with Samsung SM951 256GB. No new drivers required. Booted Yosemite 10.4, and formatted the drive. Copied system drive to the new flash drive using SuperDuper. Used System Preferences to designate the Samsung flash as the default startup drive. Rebooted. Executed "sudo trimforce enable" from command line in terminal to enable TRIM support. Set noatime flag using procedure described in web searches for "Mac SSD tweaks". Wish I could give 5 star rating but the supplied mounting screw that secures the flash module to the PCIe adapter was too short. Fortunately I had a slightly longer screw that worked.

I wish I didn't need this, but m.2 being a fledgling technology it was a must. I bought the Samsung SM951 128GB m.2 PCIe SSD hard drive and come to find that the Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4's built-in m.2 slot only supports 2x PCIe lanes severely handicapping the hard drive. I bought this to plug into the second PCIe slot and it the card ran all 4 supported PCIe lanes. The ATTO benchmark in the 2x M.2 slot scored a best read score in the neighborhood of 750MB/s. With this adapter and running full speed with 4x PCIe lanes the score leaped to 2,035MB/s.

If you can't get the expected performance out of your PCIe hard drive directly in the motherboard this may help. Just do some digging to make sure your motherboard's m.2 slot supports 2x or 4x lanes.

Amazing! It unleashed ALL of my Samsung SM951 256GB SSD performance!

I have a ASUS Maximus VII Gene Motherboard and while using the motherboard M.2 slot, all I could get out of the SSD was 700MB/s read and writes. I knew the onboard M.2 slot was the bottleneck and decided to try this adapter.

Wow the difference... Getting unleashed performance now.... 2,203 MB/s Read and 1,253 MB/s write speeds.
Attached a screenshot of Crystal Disk Mark.

Extremely happy with the performance. Installation was a breeze.
Not regretting this one bit.
I also used some thermal adhesive and attached this: Silver Tone Aluminum Cooler Radiator Heat Sink Heatsink 100x60x10mm to the SSD since it can get hot during peak usage.

This card would have been perfect, but the screw is too short, as others mentioned. My PC case came with screws for the floppy drives, or 2.5" drives, this screw worked well with the nut they provided.

Samsung 950 Pro works great with this card. ATTO HD Tach shows in excess of 2,500 Mb/s reads.

Very easy to install and utilize the full speed of my new Samsung 950 Pro M.2 512gb drive. I have an Asus Maximus VII Gene motherboard and was unable to utilize the full speed through the onboard M.2 slot because it only supports PCIe 2.0 x2.

I purchased this adapter to accommodate the Samsung 950 Pro NVMe drive as my current system hardware would not allow the drive to reach its full potential on its own. This card did exactly that, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. The adapter was easy to install and comes with a half height bracket if needed. Would purchase again if needed and recommend to anyone else who needs a simple yet affordable solution to allow their NVMe drive to reach it's full potential.
