is there an alternative?

Not really, no.

Why are you using an NVMe SSD on such an old board anyway?

PCIe 2.0 x1 is limited to 500MB/s and will hold back the NVMe drive anyway netting you no benefit over a standard SATA SSD

 

 

PCI is going to limit you to something like 133MB/s or 266MB/s, far below what PCIe can offer making an NVMe SSD worthless

NVMe is based on PCIe and PCIe isn't compatible with PCI anyway so there is no way to do it regardless.

What motherboard and CPU do you have and what else do you have installed in the PCI(e) slots? :)

Because not everyone swims in money or needs the latest and greatest, and a new SSD could be an upgrade that goes with you to a new board.

i have motherboard lga 1155

and it has pcie x1 slot and pci

i put  my nvme ssd with pci express 1 card

and i need one for pci slot

i cant find it

is that really exist?

You can use a pcie x1 card to get a nvme drive in your system but:

1. It will be slower than a regular cheaper sata ssd due to the x1 slot speed limit since it's an old version
2. You cannot boot from a pcie drive on your system since it has no support. So it will be a storage only drive which is a waste for nvme drives.

3. It may simply not work as people have experienced in the past with adapters on platforms that were released before official nvme drive support.

 

Tl:dr really expensive slower than a cheap sata ssd mass storage device that may not even work

Do you have something installed in the bottom PCI-e 16x slot? It's gen 2.0 so should be fast enough to take advantage of the extra NVMe speeds, and adapters are available for that. :)

That's good! I don't know of any specific adapter, but if you look for PCIe to M.2 or PCI express to M.2 you should find something easily. :)
