As another user stated Startech makes one and I use it as a technician. It's not fast at all... it's mainly for recovery when you don't have a motherboard with an available M.2 slot you can still pull the data off it.

For that purpose it does the trick. The drive is capable of speeds 100x above USB 3.0 so there really isn't good to use that bus for anything other than emergency.

- I can't find that IC anywhere but here's the closest thing: http://images.100y.com.tw/pdf_file/35-Asmedia-ASM1042A.pdf

PCI-E to USB 3.0 host bridge. Hopefully that helps.

Does anyone have a link? I'm still only pulling up results that either the description says they don't work with this type of drive, or the answered questions say they don't.

AFAIK, a decent proxy is "Does it work with the Samsung 950 pro?", which has been out long enough to be in the answers section for most of these things. These new drives won't be. (And I've got a Toshiba, but it's the same basic tech.)

Do you have a product number for the Startech adapter? The reviews I can find for current products say they do not work with the PCIe based Evo SSDs.

Close, but this is the other direction, from PCI to USB.

No cigar, it's a USB -> SATA interface, the newer drives would need a USB -> PCIe. https://web.archive.org/web/20170706000700/http://www.asmedi...
