How to Install an NVMe SSD in a PC (using M.2 Adapter Card)

How to Install an NVMe SSD in a PC using M.2 Adapter Card with a SAMSUNG 970 EVO SSD 1TB drive. This is done using using a M.2 PCI Express adapter card from NFHK. This video shows a desktop SSD install with a PCIe adapter card. Installation is with a M.2 SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD attached to a PCI express card and inserted into a PCIe x16 slot. This allows you to use or install any NVMe SSD or SATA 3 solid state drives into your desktop computer. In this video tutorial guide you can see the complete step by step M.2 SSD installation and formatting with a Windows 10 desktop computer. You will also see the SSD setup process using Windows 10 Device Manager and Windows 10 Disk Management. Setting up a new SSD within Windows 10 or Windows 11 takes only minutes to complete.

The best way to learn how to do a M.2 MVMe SSD setup and installation into a laptop or desktop computer is by seeing it done correctly in this video.

Using a M.2 PCIe Express adapter card is a great solution when you need to add a 2nd M.2 NVMe SSD in your desktop computer. Especially if you either have only one M.2 slot or no M.2 slots at all in your older desktop computer. So keep in mind that a PCI express card installation is easy to do and in this video see how to build an USB 3.0 external SSD with tutorial with performance tests. The external SSD performance test is done using Crystal Disk Mark 8.

This is the adaptor on amazon NFHK NGFF M-Key NVME AHCI SSD to PCI-E 3.0 16x x4 Adapter for 80mm XP941 SM951 PM951 A110 m6e 960 EVO SSD

Is there any difference between ssd slot through connecting and pci?

[julianweiser]

Nice Video. Make sure to ground yourself electrically beforehand and try not to touch any metal contacts.

Have fun!

I installed but the present windows doesn't recognise it. While Ubuntu, installed on the same PC recognizes it: how can this happen?

I finally found a review of this particular adapter after searching for it so long and... you didn't do a speed test. That was the whole reason I was looking for a review. Anyway, can anyone tell me if this adapter is X4 and can give full speed of a Gen 3 SSD? I have a 3000 Mbps SSD and I was wondering if it gives you the full speed or if it's like X1 adapter and only gives a small performance.

Do you have a solid site so as I can get a firm understanding on SSD's? My next computer will certainly have one and I need to know what I actually need that is as dead nuts reliable as can be.
Apparently the newer ones can be Defragged although not a actually needed. I have watch a number of vids in here and they all end up confusing me cuz they are too specific and not a general learning tool as such. Thanks👍👍

Hi! I have an HP Zbook which has two hard drive slots, I currently have just one installed and I'm planning on getting a new one. I use it for architecture renders and designs so I need a lot of space also a hard drive that is resistant and fast. I currently have the SSD 2.5 SAMSUNG MZ7LN256HMJP-000H1. The hard dirve doesn't fit directly into the slot, it actually has a small cord that connects it from a metal case into the laptop. Do you think that I can use a M.2 SSD with an adapter? Do you think it would be better to use that one or would it be better to buy an SSD 2.5? Thank you very much! 🥰

Hey, do you by any chance know if that adapter utilizes entire x16 slot? I know it fits into x16 but I've been looking around and saw many adapters that fit into x16 but only utilize x4...
