Geneva Model M Bluetooth Adapter

This is the M.2 GEN 3 model that ranks 1st in performance by Userbenchmark for what it's worth ..... and in over 15 years now, B&H has never disappointed me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the D1 pack for about a month. I recently used it for a week in Geneva, Switzerland and it worked out great. I hate carrying things in my pockets and this bag has enough room for everything I normally need for normal night/weekends out. It has enough internal organization to keep things in order. I highly recommend this pack.

The first step was installing it in a Sabrent model EC-PCIE NVMe M.2 SSD TO PCIe X16/X8/X4 CARD WITH ALUMINUM HEAT SINK (which I DO NOT recommend). That was so this Oyen M.2 SSD could be used in a PCI-e slot. (Basically the problem with the Sabrent adapter was that none of the thermal pads were the right thickness, and there was no guidance on their usage in the instructions. I took my best guess and moved on.) The next step was plugging it into a PCI-e slot on my HP Z640 Workstation's motherboard. I then updated my PC to the latest BIOS. When I booted into Windows 10, I didn't see a new drive. That's because I needed to use the WIndows Disk Management tool to create a partition and then a volume. After that, the drive was visible and usable.

You may want to consider a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones rather than this. They are harder to loose and more convenient.

I bought this because the Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs does not come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, and not all of my PCs have USB-C connectors. I can say for sure that this adapter works perfectly with this enclosure. I am very happy with my purchase.

This was an inexpensive adapter and I had some reservations about ordering but eventually did. My only complaint was the way to remove the heatsink to add the m.2 drive was not intuitive and the pictorial instruction sheet was mostly useless. However, I did figure it out (why are motherboard and adapter manufacturers still using those tiny screws instead of the tool-less m.2 latch mechanisms). My Ryzen system immediately picked up the drive attached to the adapter The adapter and I was in business. The adapter and heatsink are both well-built and provide an easy way to add additional M.2 drives to your existing system.

This adapter work fine with my Intel 512GB 660P NVMe M.2 Internal SSD. Easy to install and no issues... .

Very useful adapter for laptop w/o Bluetooth. Easy to install, and works great.

The great thing about this particular model is the abilities to add Bluetooth adapters for the one friend who doesn't have streaming services or Bluetooth from their phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect if you have an earlier model car since I don’t have Bluetooth . I can charge my phone and use my aux cord to play music at the same time. Easy to set up and is not bulky at all. I would highly recommend this.
