Thanks, I looked into this and seems interesting. However, seems like this card is made for their proprietary box, not for PC.
Got a tip for us?

Let me add my contribution..I just bought a 970 Evo Plus from BestBuy and the firmware still needs updated now even in August

I will test an 970 EVO with these adapters, just ordered them.

Suitable for not touching the Sapphire RX 580 fans. The PCI connector is compatible with an x16 slot, but it does not have x16 functionality. The only pins connected on that adapter are for PCI 4x.

I've just install HP ex920 1TB (~109 USD from Amazon) with RIITOP (~18 USD).
I use carbon copy cloner to clone Mojave from my SATA SSD (MX500 1TB) and CCC automatically create recovery partition:
So far the temperature are good:
I use the thickest thermal-pad provided by RIITOP on top of the ex920 sticker (I didn't remove the sticker).
I remove the bottom metal plate (from RIITOP) to let some air cool (through the PCB holes) on the other side (opposite of the sticker) of the SSD which has some NAND flash.
Thank you for all who provide excellent information in this thread.

Here’s my solution to the noisy fan in the Syba / IO-Crest SI-PEX40129. It’s a 2-pin extension cable with an inline resistor to reduce the voltage going to the fan to make it run slower and quieter, supposedly by 30%. Only cost $5 for a set of two on ebay and arrived in ten days.
It works great, the fan noise is now effectively imperceptible over the case fans. So relieved. The thickness of the resistor and connector wouldn’t quite fit under the heatsink so I had to route the fan cable so the resistor was outside the heatsink, only minor quibble to an otherwise perfect solution.
Surely SSD temps will be a little higher than before, but I expect still better than most NVMe adapters with no fans at all! The case fan in front of the PCIe slots could be cranked up to compensate too.
Interesting yes i did notice the fan noise as soon as I installed a Crest I/O it and it seems to run constantly
I use my computer in the same room I record in so it is an issue, will have to look into this
Maybe your isn't working
The noise issue was has also been brought up over on the DUC - Avid Pro tools Forum
Really is easiest if you have a dedicated Windows machine so you can use the dedicated Magician tool, but it is possible through Linux if the firmware update is directly downloadable.

Is an IMac running Windows ok and I just use a USB adaptor to connect the SSD?
I've never personally been able to update Samsung firmware via USB adapter.
Read the instructions carefully. There is this note on Page 6:
"Magician does not work with SSDs connected via the SCSI controller interface."

It's working, I see it spinning. I've had mine since December. However, I have had a heat related issue. The thermal pad for the switch slipped and caused overheating. I replaced the pad with some stacked copper heatsinks, problem solved.

If I were going for a 2TB blade, I'd go with the Addlink. I get great performance with the 1TB model already, and they just dropped prices again. Same warranty and higher TBW than a 970 Pro 1TB. Seriously fast drives...
