Tracking shows mine in transit, estimated delivery Monday. Should I order an adapter now or wait until I have it in hand?

There are many for $12+shipping from China like this: PCIe x4 to U.2 SFF-8639 Intel 750 series 2.5" NVMe PCIe SSD adapter card

Seems to be the same for $27 on Amazon.com, with faster shipping, but the description (#4) says M.2 instead (typo?): Amazon.com: XINY PCI-E 3.0 x4 Lane to U.2 U2 Kit SFF-8639 Host Adapter for Intel Motherboard & 750 NVMe PCIe SSD: Electronics

And some with a hole: JZLL U.2 PCIe(SFF-8639) to PCI-E X4 3.0 Adapter U.2 NVMe SSD PCIe Card Intel 750 | eBay

Also this type, don't know which is better: Sintech U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe SSD to PCI-e 4X 3.0 adapter with Cable for Intel 750 | eBay

I have no experience with any of these. Have only read about the more expensive Funtin adapter in these forums.

i would prefer those with the holes. my 3.8TB nvme becomes pretty warm.

Got some of the JZLL's, contacted the seller via Ebay to get a discount
Had some issues with properly identifying the carrd in ESX (was always detected as generic not specific modell) but couldnt really track it down to the adapter, so I'd think it should be ok. Still using them

Thanks for the feedback about the JZLL. Also considering this, available through Amazon.com with fast shipping: Ableconn Technologies

Those look interesting since they dont require extra SATA power...

I also have Sintech and its nice b/c it fits 2U, but its a short cable and I couldnt fit my drive well anywhere so I currently don't use it. Also it has a cheaper feel to it due to the shielded cable. At least it's shielded

@Logan is that this? Amazon.com: Ableconn PEXU2-132 NVMe 2.5-inch U.2 (SFF-8639) SSD PCIe 3.0 x4 Carrier Adapter Card - Support Intel 750 2.5-inch U.2 SFF SSD: Computers & Accessories

Was the shipping really quick not crossing an ocean?

 

[Logan]

@Patrick Yes, that's it. Shows free two-day shipping for me with Amazon Prime (haven't ordered yet).

What about the Funtin adapter? Seller was on here, they're on ebay and amazon too.

I have 2, both work. Something wrong with t hem @Patrick just curious ?

I end up buying many different components instead of standardizing in some categories like this.

He messaged me back some bullshit about he's selling them for a friend, and they're at his friends house, and his friend "must have sold them in person" and he will have to cancel the purchase.

A couple of years ago I bought a used BMW instrument cluster from an eBay seller - I wanted to pick a surface-mount LED off it to replace one BMW forgot to install in my car .

When it arrived and I opened it up, I discovered lots of broken / missing parts (somebody beat me to it). I contacted the seller and asked for a refund and after some back-and-forth, the seller agreed to a refund because he was "selling it for his brother, who replaced the one in his car". After looking for another cluster to buy, I noticed the same seller had 6 or 7 others listed on eBay. I asked him "So, how often does your brother change his instrument cluster, anyway?"

Also used a funtin, worked perfectly and v 2.1 and later (what they are shipping now) has cutout on back for better airflow.

Amazon.com: Funtin PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter with U.2 ( SFF-8639 ) Interface for 2.5" NVMe SSD: Electronics

 

[T_Minus]

@Patrick ok that makes 100% sense

@whitey yep me too. I have 1 of each. one of their V1s that was given to me, and one I purchased with the cut out, for testing/ the $ I can't complain and converting 2.5 to PCIE is realy useful actually if density isn't a concern.

 

[Rand__]

Got a Funtin as well - from @whitey originally as they are not available here. Its the sturdiest of them all I'd say but also the most expensive.
Not sure whether its worth the money, seems an awful lot for a piece of PCB, but that is a flaw most of them have.
Can't go wrong with it

 

[zeynel]

i order the cheap ones, will report if the arrive

 

[Logan]
