[NAME]  [NAME]  [NAME]  [NAME] de Oro  The new PCIe x4 NVME M.2 card works in the XPS8910!! The winner is: GLOTRENDS M.2 PCIe NVMe 4.0/3.0 Adapter with 0.12 Inch Thick M.2 Heatsink for M.2 PCIe SSD (NVMe and AHCI), PCIE 3.0X 4 Full Speed, Desktop PC Installation (PA09-HS)  for a whopping $12.55 from Amazon. Ist boot winner.! It has a little red LED on it so you can see it is powered and the LED blinks upon data transfer...nice touch. I guess its Chinese mfg? Certainly not a name-brand product..But its been reviewed positively on YouTube by a few people. Now, ONE thing happened when I shut down the box to install the card. Win 10 INSISTED to do an update, I could not dodge it unless I forgot how. No other options offered.  After the boot and the card working was working, I went Win updates to see what it was. It was hiding...It was an Intel HDC dated 7/15/19 ver 16.8.3.1003.  I may have download this the other day when I was messing around and forgot or ordered it to be download because I remember looking for it and realized I already had it...OR... I did some snooping on this driver and this is the 1st post I saw on another forum. (Key Twlight Zone music...) [URL] So, here is where that driver was installed. [IMAGE] And this is the next level info on the driver: [IMAGE] So, fingers-crossed it keeps working properly. Gotta give everyone here a big shout out and thanks for hanging with me on this! Geez, if I had another x4 slot, I might order the same card and keep this box awhile, running 3 SSD's and NO HDD's. Still pondering.  My GPU on the is PC is limping along and HOT as heck.   Here is the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD on the Glotrend's PCIe x4 NVME M.2 card:   [IMAGE]ok, catch up with everyone another time.  I forgot how fun and helpful everyone is in the Community. I may have to check in more often when I don't have a problem. Can someone mark this as the Solution? Thx DD
[NAME]  I did get the Startech PEX4M2E1 to add an SSD to my system.  You mentioned it works fine on your Intel build. The 8910 only has one M.2 slot on the system board. I wanted to check it out and add a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro and stop using one of the HD's. Maybe you (or others) could offer any suggestions? The card refuses to work on the XPS 8910. I've been on multiple chats with their techs. Finally, they looked across their tech calls and saw that some XPS 8910 owners were having some "odd interoperability" where the SSD drive is not shown anywhere. That is exactly what I am seeing. He also said on some motherboards (no specific brands or model mentioned) that once the internal M.2 slot is used one of the PCIe x4 slots is disabled. We are still thinking that maybe the card could be bad, but after he looked up the XPS8910 tech calls, he then said that likely a new card might work. Well, a replacement from Amazon is already on its way, so I'll have a chance to check it out. Their tech also indicated I should review the bios to see if it had any choices regarding the use of the x4 PCIe slot, regarding versions, etc.  I went through the whole BIOS and didn't see anything obvious.  I spotted one really odd thing.  When their card was in the PC with another SSD I had, as a test, it listed that named card, size, brand, etc, in the Bios.  I took it out and put in the Samsung 980 Pro SSD and went into the Bios and the Samsung 980 Pro card was then named in the same spot as the other SSD card I tried. So, i'm guessing the card is working, or at least partially, if that is possible.  But no SSD NVME's installed in their card show up in Disk Mgmt. nor in Windows Explorer. Any thoughts? Am I missing something? Thx DD
