I need one of these. I know there are plenty out there, but it seems that some are crap and some rather pricey. Any one with experience? What brand/model and or link?

I used this one from this seller in link below on the bay. LEDs even show thru heatsink(it's substantial), needed as my Samsung 981 gets toasty.

Originally bought that for my P8Z77I-deluxe 3770K in an MX500 case, turned out that the chipset needs to be >=97 to boot NVME from x16 slot so I used this card in link below, same size but takes a SATA M.2 SSD. Used a low profile silverstone sata cable to connect to sata port just uses x16 for power(barely cleared ), handy for older hardware if you want to use an M.2 NGFF SSD to boot from in a USFF case.
