The two that I have, one without Back Plate, M2 Connector is on top of the Card. *
The other with Back Plate, M2 Connector is underneath the Card (Like all Cards with Components)
* PCIe x1 Slot if used will not leave much room for a Heatsink for a M2 Card in PCIe x4 Slot
(x1 and x4 can be too close together)
x1 Slot can be used to add more SATA Ports (2 - 20)
M2 Expansion Card did not work with a Gigabyte X58A Motherboard (PCIe 2.0, Intel i7-920)
BIOS did not detect Drive. PC Boots from a 1TB MX500 (£200)

sorted byWhich model exactly is it revision 1.0 ga-x58a-Oc, revision 2.0 ga-x57a-ud3r or revision 2.0 ga-x58a-ud7 or via a PCIe m2 expansion card or something else?
Both M2 Cards are ok on my Gigabyte X570 Master. MB can now have 5 x M2 by using x4 and x8 Slots.
The M2 Cards did not work on my Gigabyte GA-X58A UD3R rev. 1.0.
