Simplecom EC415B NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe x4 Expansion Card with Aluminium Heatsink – Black

Your board's M.2 slots are full but you still need more speed. The Simplecom EC415B drops straight into a free PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slot and gives you a working NVMe M.2 slot with an aluminium heatsink and silicone thermal pad already fitted. No extra power cable. No driver gymnastics. Plug it in, drop your drive on, and you're running at up to 7.8 Gbps on PCIe 4.0. Fits 2230 through 2280 drives. One drive per card. NVMe only — SATA M.2 won't work here, so check yours before you order. If your board doesn't have a native NVMe slot and you're stuck on an older chipset, this is the cleanest way to get that speed without a full board swap.
