A great adapter
I bought this adapter couple of months ago and my experience with this: easy to use in Windows 7 x64 with an 6 years old mainboard. Thanks to this I have a great performance SSD now in my system.

Waste of time
Seriously, have put this unit in many different machines and more often than not will not be recognised/load drivers. Win 8 / Win 10 / Win 11 / Server 2016 / Server 2019 / Server 2022 as well as various Linux distros. Should just have a chipset driver available and everyone will be happy.

Works exactly as advertised.
I bought this card about six months ago to the SATA SSD in a Dell Precision 5810 workstation using a 1 terabyte Samsung 970 Evo Plus as the boot drive. It was easy to setup and the performance has been great. I work in technology for a living and have been buying parts like this from StarTech for 10 plus years and I've never been disappointed with their products or thei...

Works perfectly.
Works perfectly, and gives 100% speeds on Kingston KC2000 drive. Simple plug & play on Windows 10, no drivers, no hassle.

Fast, and easy to use
Install is simple, and the box included the necessary screws. Used a Samsung 850 EVO m.2. Win10 picked it up right away. This thing is plenty fast on the older ASUS motherboard I am using (son's computer). He is plenty happy at the speed difference over his old SATA drive, and even over the old SATA SSD we had in there. Though I can't say that I had time to do any detai...

Undetected
Windows SBS2011 and Server 2012 unable to see NVMe as a secondary drive with this controller. Provided steps are useless and complicated. Both controllers are going back. Startech should put more effort to assist customers with this product instead of suggesting to follow 20 steps to get it working.

Doesn't work with windows 7
Even though this claims it has native os support it would not install my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 box. With no drivers listed on the website or a disc in the box it came in to try and install it manually this is a waste of my time and money. Normally Startech makes good products. if you're using Windows 7 best that you pass this one up.
