PCI-E to NGFF M.2 adapter

[FriarDuBacon]

Long story short; I had to buy a new laptop because my MSI GT80 Titan SLI decided to crap out on me. Not surprising since it's 7 years old. However, my SATA M.2s are still fine and I want to cannibalize them and use them as storage in my Desktop (X570s Ryzen 5 5600x Radeon 6800 XT build). However, I'm having a hard time finding a PCI-E adapter for NGFF drives that can do more than 1 drive at a time. Can anybody make a recommendation to me as to an option I can use? It needn't be the full x16 or x8, I have an x4 slot available and another x16 slot available. I'd prefer to use a direct adapter rather than going the route of a PCIE SATA card and using SATA adapters with these drives. I was thinking this one, https://www.newegg.com/p/2S7-07JP-1NNC8?item=9SIB33YHXS3236&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-gadgets-_-graviton-_-9SIB33YHXS3236&source=region but it says it's designed for mining, has no certification and is a Chinese origin unit. It has no reviews and I don't think I'd want to trust it. 

Thanks

Lots of options out there. I don't vouch for this specifically (haven't used it), but something like this will work for you.

I've looked at that one but it only has two slots, I'd prefer a minimum of 3 or 4. I have four M.2 NGFF ssds to fit into my desktop. The dual ones seem like they're okay, but their reviews are mixed. I'm sort of stuck in all honesty as I've been looking for ages. All of the quad slot adapters appear to be either for mining without certification and lack the necessary controllers, or they're x16 nvme only.

I was thinking this one, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. https://www.amazon.com/B-Key-Bandwidth-Expansion-Require-SI-PEX40142/dp/B07WDM3H9Z/ref=sr_1_75?crid=24B202N57PE7I&keywords=m.2%2Bsata%2Bto%2Bpci-e&qid=1662497732&s=electronics&sprefix=m.2%2Bsata%2Bto%2Bpci-e%2Celectronics%2C108&sr=1-75&th=1

What weird thing to do demanding a PCIe x16 slot when it seemingly only uses PCIe x2 lanes, if I'm reading that right (its not at all clear).

 

But honestly I'd trust the motherboards SATA controller(s) over JMicron any day (no particular reason, just its an unknown compared to AMDs own solution), do you not have enough ports?

[FriarDuBacon]

Well the problem is, none of the M.2 ports on my motherboard support NGFF only NVME, and if I populate all four of my M.2 slots, all but two SATA ports are disabled. I could add these M.2 drives to a SATA drive adapter, but I don't have expressly the space for two 2.5" drives as they're already populated with four SATA drives (not ports but actual physical spots to fit the drives). It's sort of an odd catch 22 I'm in with these drives. I'd trust the board controller as well over a third party unit, but to utilize my extra SATA M.2 drives I'm thinking a PCI-E controller might be the better route.
