00:00If you've got a spare PCIe slot and a pile of NVMe drives sitting around,
00:04you're literally one tiny card away from doubling or tripling your storage.
00:08I went down the rabbit hole on these M.2 NVMe to PCIe adapters, and honestly,
00:13the prices are kinda ridiculous right now. So here are the top 5 deals I found.
00:19Kicking things off at number 5, the Fenvi M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 adapter.
00:25This thing punches way above its price tag. It's got an aluminum heatsink to keep your SSD
00:30from cooking under load, and it runs at full Gen 4 speeds up to 64 gig apps. It works in
00:36X1,
00:37X4, X8, or X16 slots, so it fits basically any desktop. And get this, it's only $4.85.
00:46Under 5 bucks for a heatsink Gen 4 adapter with a 4.8 rating and over 3,000 sold?
00:52That's a no-brainer. Next up, number 4, the Jeyi Flat PCIe 5.0 X4 to NVMe adapter.
01:01This one's for the folks chasing bleeding-edge speed. We're talking 128 gig apps, full PCIe 5.0
01:08bandwidth, in a compact, flat design that won't get blocked by your GPU. That low-profile shape is a
01:14big deal if your graphics card is hogging all the space. It fits standard 2,280 drives and works in
01:21X4, X8, or X16 slots. $8.37, 4.9 stars, almost 4,000 sold. If you've got a Gen 5
01:31drive, this is
01:32the cheapest way to actually feed it. Coming in at number 3, another Jeyi, the M.2 NVMe to PCIe
01:394.0
01:40in 3.0 adapter. This is the versatile one. It runs 64 gig apps at PCIe 4.0 X4 speeds
01:48but also plays
01:49nice with Gen 3 systems, so it's perfect if you're upgrading an older build and don't want to waste
01:53money on bandwidth you can't use. Full speed, forward and backward compatible. $6.02, 4.8 stars,
02:02over 4,000 sold. It's the safe pick for basically any desktop. Number 2 is the Jeyi M.2 PCIe
02:112 NVMe
02:11adapter with aluminum heatsink. Same Jeyi reliability, but this one's built for sustained performance.
02:18The aluminum heatsink keeps thermals in check during big file transfers,
02:22so you're not throttling halfway through a render or a game install. It handles every M key size,
02:282230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 at full 64 gig apps Gen 4 X4. $6.45, 4.9 stars, over 4
02:40,500 sold.
02:42For the price of a coffee, you get cool, consistent speeds.
02:46And finally, the number 1 spot goes to the Lequa Southbridge Max. This is the beast of the bunch.
02:53No bifurcation needed, which means it works on motherboards that don't support slot splitting,
02:58that's huge. You get 4 M.2 NVMe slots, plus 4 SATA 6G ports, plus a 20 gigabit USB-C
03:05riser,
03:06all in one card. This is NAS and home server territory, turning one slot into a full storage
03:12expansion hub. $131.74 sounds like a lot until you realize what it replaces. 4.9 stars, almost 4,700
03:22sold. If you're building at NAS, this is the one. Alright, that's the list. All the links are down
