NVMe SSD (down slot) 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 the installation, remove the bootable USB drive, and enter BIOS to setup UEFI boot mode

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

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

Speed Testing

Testing conditions:

CPU: Intel I5-11400MB: ASUS H510M-FOS: Windows 10M.2 SATA SSD: Samsung 860 EVOM.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD: Samsung 980 PRO

Please note:

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 speedIntel CPU 11th generation and above support PCIe 4.0 feature

Design for One M.2 NVMe SSD and One M.2 SATA SSD

Please note that the upper slot is only used for M.2 SATA SSD, and the down slot is only used for M.2 NVMe SSD. Can not 2 x NVMe SSD or 2 x M.2 SATA SSD.M.2 SATA signal and M.2 NVMe signal are totally separate.M.2 SATA signal goes through SATA bus, SATA cable needs to connect the adapter SATA port with the motherboard SATA portM.2 NVMe signal goes directly through the PCIe bus, which is the motherboard PCI-Express X4 interface

Difference between M.2 SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe SSD

B-Key: almost M.2 SATA SSDs and older NVMe SSDsM+B Key: M.2 SATA SSDs and some NVMe SSDsM Key: M.2 NVMe SSDs using the PCIe x4 bus

Max speed between M.2 SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe SSD

The max speed of M.2 SATA SSD is 400-550MbpsThe max speed of M.2 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVMe SSD is 2000-3300MbpsThe max speed of M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVMe SSD is 4000-6700Mbps

Installation

Step 1

Insert the M.2 SSD into the slot at an oblique angle of 30Secure the M.2 SSD to the adapter with screw

Step 2

Insert the adapter into the PCIE X4/X8/X16 slotPlease note that PCIE X1 slot is not supported

Step 3

SATA Cable connects M.2 adapter with the motherboard SATA port

2-in-1 M.2 SSD Adapter: It allows you to install one M.2 NVMe SSD and one M.2 SATA SSD on your computer. The M.2 NVMe SSD is installed in the down slot (M Key), while the M.2 SATA SSD is installed in the upper slot (B Key).
The NVMe SSD signals go directly to the PCIe X4 interface, while the SATA SSD signals go to the SATA III interface, which needs to be connected to the motherboard’s SATA interface via a SATA cable (included). These are two completely independent data channels.
It is FCC and CE certified, ensuring highly reliable and stable PCIe X4 full speed. Your M.2 NVMe SSD speed remains unaffected, just as if it was installed on the motherboard.
To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 (64Gbps) full speed, the CPU and motherboard PCIe slot and M.2 NVMe SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features (Note: PCIe 4.0 is not supported on Intel CPUs below 11th generation)
Support OS booting from the M.2 NVMe SSD. Please reinstall 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)
OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Windows 7 supports M.2 SATA SSD, but no M.2 NVMe SSD). The new M.2 NVMe SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host.
