SM AOC-SLG3-2M2 fits excellent to E300/E301 and takes 22110.
Thanks, got one of those on order and more on my list. I'd love to find a quad adapter to fit in the same space. I ordered a few Gigabyte CMT4034 from Newegg. I returned them because they came without brackets and the black aluminum heatsink in the picture, but it seemed like they would've fit (didn't have a riser to verify).

Think a quad adaptor doesn’t makes sense with an E300. The riser is only x8, and I don’t any itx board which bifurbs to x2x2x2x2……
So you would end with only 2 of the 4 sticks usable?

I have an x16 riser and X10SDV bifurcates to x4x4x4x4.

This one Quad adapter AliExpress fits physically if you don’t have the 3rd fan installed. But brave idea to run enterprise NVME whiteout sufficient airflow and as written, only 2 sticks will be usable.
Done that for myself and learned the hard way.
Agreed — that third fan is going to be required in order to run a quad card. I know the Supermicro card has reviews saying it fits M.2 heatsinks fine, so I'm hoping to find something like it that'll fit two cards on each side. It's not a hard requirement, but if I can fit 4x 22110, I can probably ditch SATA entirely for these SFF builds.

That might work, thought on the original SM riser for E300 that came with my box. That one is just x8.
I got some CSE-E301 (chassis only) to put some used mini-itx boards in. It seemed more flexible and cost-effective than getting the preconfigured E300/301 systems.

Back in stock. I bought 4. Planning to put either 2x or 4x in a CSE-E301 with a 13k RPM 40mm fan pointed right at them.

Thinking about buying 4 just like you.

No active fan needed?
Whoa, nobody said that. I haven't tried putting these in a 721TQ yet, but I'd probably want to put heatsinks on the drives and experiment with fan placement like the one from this STH article:

If you get a card with fans built-in, you may want to double-check dimensions of the card and clearance inside the chassis to make sure it'll fit.

in the end i got 2 toshiba's and 2 samsungs.
I've done full disk write test on it, they appear to be new; it would take few months to kill them with writes to verify if they were ever used.
Additionally i've looked up similar nvme's on ebay and seem the prices are only bit higher - not in significant way.


The samsung gets so god damn hot - heatsink in picture struggles under load. (single 80mm noctua at 2000rpm blows on pcie slots).

A faster 4-12k fan should be used instead to keep it down with that heatsink for 24x7 load.

(green is samsung / cyan is toshiba)
