- Adding extra M.2 connectors with an adapter card is an affordable way to get more PCIe or SATA SSD's into your existing system. The EZDIY-FAB Dual M.2 Adapter is a nice option for adding two solid state drives and it also comes with a heatsink and addressable RGB lighting. In this video we go through the installation process in detail and test the speeds of the drives through the adapter.

M.2 Solid State Drives
WD Blue: amzn.to/3mW8xmO
Samsung 970 Evo: amzn.to/2VOs1Oz
Features and Specifications
- Supports one M.2 PCIe (NVMe or AHCI) SSD and one M.2 SATA 6Gbps SSD simultaneously.
- Supports M.2 size form factors 2230, 2242, 2260,2280. Converts one M.2 (M Key) interface to PCIe 3.0 x4 interface (PCIe 2.0 Compatible). Converts one M.2 (B Key or B+M Key) interface to SATA 6Gbps interface (SATA connection required). No drivers required.
- Supports any OS like Windows, Mac and Linux. Booting possible from M.2 NVMe SSD with compatible motherboards with supported BIOS (Support booting from PCIe). Intel 9 series and above chipset motherboards support booting from PCIe. This adapter card is a passive device so OS and System compatibility solely depends on SSD model used.
- Large size passive cooler for the top of the SSD prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.
- Equipped with 5V Addressable RGB LED lights so you can control and change the colors by connecting to your motherboard or by built-in Color mode. High density LED. Easy cable routing.

When I heard RGB I was like oh jeez, but seeing it at the end actually wasn’t to bad.
A question I have is when using a 4x PCIe card like this does the video card performance degrade at all when using them at same time, for instance a game installed on the SSD on the card and then playing that game and running a fps comparison to no card installed?
Really good content. I just stumbled here because I bought a pcie m.2 adapter off Ali Express for less than $4 and wanted to make sure how it needed to be installed. What you tested is different, but it was still helpful. From what I can tell, these little adapter cards work. My motherboard (Asrock Z97 Killer) has an m.2 but it's only x2. Using this little adapter card I can use a x4 slot and should be able to get full speed.
Hi James, did u test the adpter on x4 slot ? I have PCIE- Gen4 Lane x4 and need this type of adapter..
@@abdullahtiry6394 As far as I remember it worked fine. I don't own the computer any longer though, I sold it shortly after building it. I don't know how much of a meaningful bottleneck X2 is vs. x4 but the x4 slot wasn't being used so for $4 I figured it was worth doing.
@@abdullahtiry6394 what about useing this for wifi /bluetooth i saw one that did not have a bracket be great for hideing the wifi card in the case was not sure it work with out ext power
Very cool. Like the old gigabyte adapter card from back in the day
Yes indeed!
Cool that’s just what I’m looking for
Wow going in an adapter and going crazy speed!
2:43 Do you know name for end side connector on left side??
I don't want to be that guy, But the NVME is not SATA. NVME can go up to 3.7 GB but SATA tops off a round 300-500MB so the drives will never be anywhere close in performance. When I saw this video I had no idea who this is for since the ideal situation is a card with 2x NVME slots so you can RAID it and get up to 9GB as RAID 0. So having a card this way does not give you the benefit of either unless you goal is to get rid of spinning disk and go towards a silent setup like in the case of a media center of DIY (like Pfsense) home router device. So the numbers you got are actually expected and normal. here: ua-cam.com/video/-cofEwJ-2ek/v-deo.html
Ótimo vídeo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sou louco para montar um computador nesse nível 👍🏼
i just picked up one of thee's raid cards but it's only showing 1 m.2 is there anything you can think of to fix this?
Cool but the SATA is useless to me.. My board has 4 SATA ports but 1 is shared with the m.2 SATA. I have a 1TB wd blue m.2 SATA on the motherboard already. which eats 1 SATA port.
my 3 other SATA ports are each connected to 1TB wd blue 2.5" SSD's and a wd gold 12TB for recovery purposes.
guess I'll look for an NVMe PCIe adapter card.
Hi Any recommendation for closure if I have SSD SSUBX Mac and NVME Samsung, I need to put those to into 2,5" SATA Laptop HDD ?
my old hp prebuild only has sata 2 will that effect msata performance?i'm assuming nvme is driven from pci-eand msata wd drive driven by the sata connection from motherboard for windows10 installed boot drive ease of compatability?as the bios would just see the msata wd drive as another sata connected device
Hill it work in H61 Mother Board which have 1155 Socket, Gen 3 Processor?
Can the NGFF SATA drive be mirrored to the NVME drive in a RAID 0 configuration? Also, would the adapter be bootable on the Classic Mac Pro 5'1?
window 10 can be install on sata ssd or m2 nvme? I tried to install on m2 nvme but the drive is undetecable by my pc? do i need to install on sata ssd?
Hi bro i have msi b450 gaming plus motherboard with an xpg s40 spectrix nvme ssd but it copyes verry slow with 100mb per second, i have pci-e 3, will it work with to improove the speed of writting?
one help, can we make this one (EZDIY-FAB Dual M.2) into an external ssd drive ?
Where is the installation video you used? I gave up on this as I have and old Alienware Area-51 ALX and I got the impression Clover had to be used. You make it seem like I can format it as if its on one of the SATA connections I'm assuming. I can see it in Windows and in the BIOS, but unable to partition it during a bootable media install to this very M.2 SSD
Quick question does the system see the drives as 2 or 1 combined drive? Then again I guess 1 being sat and 1 m.2 - I guess 2 drives at different speeds.. Never mind I just seen end and you show 2 speeds.. BUT do u now of a 2 slot m.2 addapter, as Im looking for 1, great vid thanks
Does the drive on the Evo run the same speed in both slots on the expansion card?
I want to of the same drives on an expansion card, I dont want one of them to run slower!
Wouldn't you be better off raiding two M.2 drives from an adaptor ?
I bought WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD and my laptop model is Lenovo Ideapad 110 (Disk Driver- WDC WD10JPCX-24UE4T0), Does both are compatible ?? If yes how do I install WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD to Lenovo Ideapad 110
thanks
Hello sir, is it possible to change ssd m2 sata 3 bay pcie 4 NVMe M2 SSD samsung 980pro used a adaptor, in effect i both the ssd samsung 980pro 1to but my tablet dell venue 11 pro has ssd m2 sata 2260 please help me thanks
elo ECPU , can it put NVME storage and graphic card together (use PCIE 4.0 x16 To M.2 NVMe SSD Extension Cable) in one time?and if can got bottle neck or reduce performance?
cause iam using Mini PC which come only 1 NVME slot.
Just wondering how it would work with a m.2 that already has a heat sink on it
are it m2.nnvme pci exprice work with hp hp z230 workstation
so i need to put this to the display Card slot, right?
Can that dual adapter be used to test a M.2 or NVMe but using a SATA to USB cable? Thanks
@ECPU, so It´s possible to make RAID with this adapter?
Can you use this adapter on a Gigabyte H81M-S1 motherboard?
Great video.
Thanks for the video. Does one have to use both slots?
One question did one sata cable can rune tow of them ?
Awesome, Bro is there any option for my Lenovo ideapad 300-15isk laptop through any adapter?
Can you use the sata port over to a internal DVD drive?
did you just put it into x16 slot? i need to know.
pci-express x1 speed How are they different?
Thanks for the video. Too bad it's not available anymore.
can we raid using that adopter??
Can I use adapter on pcie version 2.0? to use name Ssd
light , does the drive needs a light🥺
Can you use 2 nvme or its only 1 ssd 1 nvme?
Can I ask if you could put the M.2 SATA stick to M.2 NVME slot? Does it work?
No, the connector is diferent. For the M.2 MVME you'd need a M connector whereas for the M.2 Sata it's a M & B connector.
good job, please tell, is there adapter like this for a laptop?
Hello, your video is very interesting, I would like to ask you a question. I have an iMac late 2015 21.5 1.6ghz (base model) ... it doesn't have the Nvme port but I would like to do the adapter, is it possible?
Is it okay to install windows on this?
Yes
I installed an adapter card to PCI-Express slot and then I cloned my C-drive to new WD NvMe drive, but when I tried to setup from BIOS boot from new NvME drive, my workstation BIOS do not see the NvMe drive. But within the Window10 OS, it sees as new drive but not in the BIOS.
Don't know how to fix it.
Any devices that require Additional drivers from a manufacturer or windows will not be recognized By the BIOS. The BIOS needs to have built in support for the card to boot from it. This will vary by how recent your BIOS and Mother board is. Older boards will not see the PCI Card so cannot see the Drive Attached to it. A quick test is to boot into your BIOS and see if you can select the boot device. An old BIOS just has words like SATA, CDROM, Floppy new BIOS's allow you to select the individual device by Model name. If you have the newer setup see if the Storage is visible in the list of choices. My 2 cents.
@@RogerJoseph Thanks Roger for your input appreciated.
As I mentioned above, new NVME drives is visible and available for use within Windows10 but in the Bios setup screen the drive NVME drive does not exists, which mean I cannot set to boot from NVME drive.
I bought this card from ebay, the seller is in China, he is not any help.
@@RogerJoseph Version of the Bios updated September 2012, there is no newer version of BIOS software to download from Lenovo for this MOBO.
I wonder if removing the labels from the SSD's might improve the removal of heat(ie they run cooler)? Anyone tried it? did it make any difference? Just thinking of having a paper/plastic between the thermal film and the actual surface of the chips is not something you would do with say a CPU.
Just a thought.
the sticker is actually a heat spreader, if anything removing it will make it overheat
Warum kein test auf Temperatur?
What camera/lens are you using for the product closeups! Thanks 🙏
Back then, it was probably the Sony A7III and Tamron 28-75 F2.8
I need this for laptops
I hate the adapters that forces you to use a sata cable. You could buy a sata drive instead. I much prefer when the bandwith is shared between the drives. Nobody hammers both drives at the same time anyway and if you do, you need something else that is not a sata drive.
Just got myself one of these card (not exact same model) but running into a weird problem. When installing the card my PC seems to post twice before win10 loads up. This only happens on a cold boot though. PC will start up for 2-3 seconds power down and then power up and boot as normal. Am i missing something here? I am using an Asus motherboard as well, is there some sort of setting that needs to be enabled?
Did you try to update the bios
@@mantequilloso yeah BIOS has been fully updated.
What version of windows did you try?
Of windows 10*
@@clekyou should try with a optimized version of windows 10, like tiny10 or minios
Thank you so much brother for a great idea. I have the old iMac mid 2010. I'm really not sure that I can connect this kind of adapter to motherboard or not? Thank for your kind understanding.
Hi, what's the open case style brand are you using behind you in the video ?
Thermaltake Core P3
@@ECPUz thank you !
Do you know if it is possible to make a raid 0 with two nvme ssds on this adapter ?
Can you boot from it ?
So I can use this for my laptop replacing the HDD?
The only thing I have less than nvme slots are pci-e slots 😩😩😩
If I don't want RGB, is it as simple as just not connecting the RGB header?
I imagine I could install Linux onto an adapted drive through this too eh?
You can turn the lighting off either with software (with cable connected) or with the button on the bracket. The adapter is just a passive device and shouldn't affect the type of OS/Software/Data you store on the drive.
which program did you use to test ssd speeds?
He said he ran Crystal Disk Mark to check the drive speed.
Plain white led would be ok, but not a fan of rgb.
Windows?
ATTENTION!: Windows 7 does not support the pcie nvme ssd. It is a nightmare for this OS.
This video is ok... why not swap the drives to show the difference in speed from nvme -> pcie.
@4:03 did you even watch the video
An F for this video. You start with a solution and back into the problem. Terrible approach. We are excited about the possibilities until......well into the video you drop all of the limitations (PCI 4x, etc). You really should have started out with "if you want to do this within these constraints, here is a solution". This is a well articulated, smart person that did a terrible job of helping viewers. IMO
30$, yikes.
Laptop GPU
Does it take lanes and speed from the GPU installing it via pci?? This is my concern
Thanks
i think if u put it under the gpu where the PCI E slot is it will take from GPU
It shouldn’t be taking away any performance or speed unless it is a old mobo, but nowadays it should be able to handle it flawless
