    meets the specifications

    Well presented and easy to implement.
    Allows on newer BIOSes to use NVMe even as a boot drive.
    On older BIOSes, allows use as a secondary drive.

    Irritating point: no m-2 fixing screw provided (but uses a standard screw pitch and the holes provided in the card allow you to use a tie to secure the board if you can't find a screw)
