- I'm Keith Barker, a 2x CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert). In this video I go through the process of using an SSD adapter to add some major vSAN to my vSphere. I'm using the Sabrent NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card adapter with aluminum heat sink and a whopping 500GB SSD to make it all happen!

Thanks for accurate how to! Saved me tons of research. Included "directions" were useless and didn't even mention the blue sticky pads!
This video saved the day! i wasnt sure how to install the pads and your walk-thru made it very clear and easy! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
I can’t get that last screw off idk if I got a dud or what but it’s not screwing off
Great guide! However, I do want to emphasis that the thick blue pad is simply too thick. I used the two smaller pads layered and stuck to each other, and it still wasn't as thick as the big one. You don't want to bend your nvme ssd card with all of that pressure: Stick to the two smaller ones, the large one is unnecessary and you'll have a bent ssd when you take this thing apart in 4-5 years. For reference, I was using the regular non-pro EVO 970.
Thanks for the info!
You are a professional trainer and I have learned a lot from you!
With my WD SN570 it just makes contact with the thinner thermal pad. I'll see how it goes. I might add the second thin pad. The thick one is thicker than the two thin ones combined. For people with double sided NVMEs, you might find a thin pad between the drive and the PCB makes contact there too. With my single sided NVME drive, none of the pads were quite the right thickness to do that and it's not really necessary. So I'd say it's a bit fiddly, but following the Sabrent video and pictures, or this video, makes it easier than trying to do other odd things with the components. The instructions in the box though aren't great, so I can understand why some people did odd things!
Thank you @Nick_R_!
Love your videos
Thanks Keith for a really good explanation (the one by A.n.other was useless) for the installation, especially the heat pad(s). Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
The pads are meant to be applied ... thin on the back of the PCB. Thick between the PCB and the SSD. Thin on the top of the SSD. The thick pad is clearly not designed to go on top of the SSD. I'm sure it works, but it puts unnecessary pressure on the SSD and PCMIE connector as well as not providing the greatest possible heat dissipation.
Thanks Keith I'm planning to do the same on my HP DL360 gen9, can you show how to install on the sever? What if you have fiber channels adapter so you have to remove that?
Thanks for an informative video! Any data on the speeds of this PCIe connection vs. M.2 connection straight to motherboard? Is it same? Slightly slower?
Hey awesome video! I have the same setup. I am having a hard time getting windows 10 to recognize it. My mboard see's it no problem when i go into the bios (after i updated it)
Thanks for video but the 'stand off' doesn't fit on the nvme and I'm guessing yours didn't either because you cut the video at that point showing it fitting (which it doesn't)
I have a Samsung 990 pro 4TB NVME M.2 SSD in my PS5. I have a 2TB Samsung 980 pro ssd and 1 or 2 1TB Samsung 980 pro M.2 ssd. However, the 4TB isn't large enough and I'm not looking to spend $1,000 for an 8TB M.2 ssd. I was hoping to build multiple external m.2 slots into a PCIE m.2 adapter and plug it in to the INTERNAL M.2 expansion slot with ADT-LINK Riser PCIe X4 3.0 PCI-E 4X to M.2. I don't know if the PS5 will still recognize the multiple M.2 slots. Any advice would be great.
I have a Samsung 990 that comes with a heatsink. Would there be any issue just using the pcie and leaving off the Sabrent heatsink enclosure?
I bought the product and followed your instructions…which were great by the way…there’s just one thing I’m missing….is there anything in particular I have to do after I plug it into the motherboard and boot up my pc?…because it’s not showing up in my list of drives at all
Same Problem, u solve?
the standoff screw does not fit on my nvme2 card
Hi Keith,
I'd like to ask you for some career advice if possible.
All things being equal, which position is best for someone starting in the field of networking engineering: a job involving troubleshooting, or a job not involving troubleshooting, only network design? I've got CCNA-level knowledge.
Isn't true that it's best to first learn real-world troubleshooting, and then to move on to design roles? If I pick design first, don't I risk becoming a senior network engineer who can't troubleshoot simple problems later?
I'd be very happy to read a response from you.
Best regards,
Attila
Hi Keith we are waiting vsphere 8x CBT Training :)
Thank you for the question @kamalabduwahid. It is being released this month. March 2024
Found this video looking for advice on which thermal pad to use. Unfortunately I followed your advice and used the thick pad (I have literally the same 970evo plus drive). It's too thick and I should have used the thin pad. I blame Sabrent for having zero instructions relating to the thermal pad though.
Just to add a little info. With the thick pad the back plate would not sit flush. After installing the thin pad I checked to see if it was making contact by trying to remove the circuit board from the heatsink. It was sticking. Back plate fit flush after that.
Thank you @user-ql5iw6os9g!
Where is the insertion??????
I wonder if I can use a ADT-LINK Riser PCIe X4 3.0 PCI-E 4X to M.2 and use a PCIE to m.2 adapter on my PS5 to give me more m.2 slots (without adding additional m.2 through usb)
I know it won't fit correctly in the PS5, but I have extra PS5 shell plates. I could always cut a hole to run the ADT-LINK Riser PCIe X4 3.0 PCI-E 4X to M.2 to the outside of my PS5 and add the PCIE to m.2 adapters. Any advice would help.
