I am using this with ORICO M.2 PCIe M Key to 6 x SATA 6Gbps Adapter Card for Desktop PC Support RAID-PM2TS6 and it worked as expected.


This Syba adapter is well made and the inclusion of a slot bracket is nice. The jumpers are easy to use and the LEDs provide a clear indication of what is going on when you need to know. For anyone who is wondering whether or not this adapter supports DMA operation, it does if your CF card does. Cheap CF cards do not. A review of the pinouts for both connectors and testing with an ohmmeter confirms that DMA read, write and request are hooked up. In any case, this adater is completely passive and makes no "decision" on what your CF card can do when placed into the slot. I bought this along with a CF card from Newegg to use it as a startup device in a FreeNAS system. It did not work for that purpose (see explanation below under "other thoughts") but is working fine on another motherboard that I will be building into another FreeNAS system.

It's pretty straight forward, plug and play type of external device.

-More NVME Drives in your computer = Better -Doesn't require a motherboard with PCIe bi-furcation capability (which expands compatibility considerably) - this is accomplished by leveraging an ASMedia controller chip -Fast 'enough' -Easy install (both for the card itself and for NVME installation) -Perfect for adding more storage and/or more operating systems to a computer




Fit into old Optiplex 755.



Inexpensive


short wire between connector helps with cable routings

Connected an M.2 SSD to this, attached it to the PC via SATA to USB and cloned a drive to the M.2 SSD. Has multiple "holes" to put the standoff for the screw, depending on the physical length of the drive
