PCIe M.2 Adapter for installing NVMe drives in PCIx4 slots:
Amazon UK - https://amzn.to/2SCoSOm
Amazon US - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FU9JS94/?tag=pocketlintc07-20
The PCIe adapter allows you to install an M2 NVMe drive in a PCIeX4 slot where you don't have any (spare) M2 drive slots on your motherboard.
This means you can install NVMe hard drives where you either don't have any spare slots because you've used them all OR don't have them in the first place (theoretically).
It's dead easy to do too. Once you've installed (following the instructions in this video) simply map the new drive and enjoy!
