I was looking for both M.2 22110 to PCIe adapters. I also was curious based on Cheap 1U PCIe M.2 Riser - why don't they exist? from @Biren78
I tried both cards today and they appear to be too tall. The search continues.
I purchased both of these just to hit $35 for free same day Prime:
Amazon.com: StarTech.com M.2 Adapter – x4 PCIe 3.0 NVMe – Low Profile and Full Profile – SSD PCIE M.2 Adapter – M2 SSD – PCI Express SSD: Computers & Accessories
Amazon.com: Ableconn PEXM2-110 M.2 NGFF PCIe SSD to PCI Express 3.0 x4 Host Adapter Card - Support 110mm M.2 SSD - Support M.2 NGFF PCIe (NVMe or AHCI) Type 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242: Computers & Accessories
When I opened them up this morning, they are exactly the same PCB. The total deltas:

When I opened them up this morning, they are exactly the same PCB. The total deltas:
- Startech had the full-height bracket installed. Ableconn the low profile bracket. Both came with both options. Depending on which you need, this may save you from having to spend time switching.
- The sticker on the back said the respective company name.
- The Ableconn box was nicer (Startech is just their signature plain white box).
- Both had instructions, Startech was a bit better.
- The Ableconn ESD bag was bubble wrap padded and the Startech was just a simple flat unit.
