Is this a good M.2 riser?

@manicdan What do you mean with power cards?

This is the one I'm talking about:

As you can see it has a small 4 pin power connector. You don't have to use it as the riser itself is powered.

The one your looking at is probably a good choice.

I guess I can get this "adapter/riser thing" on e-bay right?

It's much better to get this adapter. you can run upto 4 devices from this one. I am using one with 4 cards plugged in. no additional power required by the adapter either. Just ensure you get the VER 002.

I had an incident of that m.2 pcie adapter burnt out. Luckily didn't damage any components on the board. The pins below can get bent and short out.

This works 100%??
