Which NVME.2 PCIe Adapter is compatible with HPZ440

[Arthur_George]

I want to install a NVME.2 Solid State Drive in my HPZ440.

I understand I need a NVME.2 PCIe Adapter to do this.

I need help finding a suitable NVME.2 PCIe Adapter.

Will this adapeter be compatible with my HPZ440:

HP SSD to M.2 NVMe Controller 742006 Adapter Card CAN ICES-3. 

If not which adapter(s) should I use?

Thank you for your help.

Hi @Arthur_George

Actually you can use any one, but if you want to use the one recommended by HP it is the following one

HP Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro PCIe 4.0 x16 NVMe Carrier 7H9Z3AA B&H

Thank you resistencia,

I had trouble sourcing one locally and so went with a ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 GEN 5 Card and a Samsung 980 EVO Series – 500GB NVMe – M.2 Internal SSD.  Thiss SSD has slowish read and write speeds but will do for now.

The ASUS GEN 5 Card has a lead for a fan controller which I had to modify slighly to fit the 4-pin fan header typically used for the front fan. 

So far it works a charm if even I can't enjoy the full PCIe5 or 4 speeds an ASUS card affords.

Thannk you for help,

Arthur.
