Quad Slot M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 X16 Adapter Card with ASM 1184E Chip, Only Work with PCIe Splitter Function Motherboard

Quad M.2 NVMe SSD Host Adapter without PCIe Bifurcation Function

• Add 4 x M.2 NVMe SSD (M-Key) onto a single PCIe X16 host adapter, so you can access 4 x M.2 NVMe SSD at the same time
• Support soft RAID in Windows/Linux/3rd party software
• Support M.2 NVMe SSD RAID-on-CPU (VROC) in the Intel Platform, but you need to purchase an Intel VROC license by yourself
• Support M.2 NVMe RAID in AMD Platform
• Support Mac Pro 5.1
• PCIe 4.0 X16 bandwidth
• Without PCIe bifurcation function
• Support 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 form factor
• The gap between the two NVMe slots is 3mm
• Regular profile bracket and low profile bracket

PCIE Bifurcation Setup in BIOS/UEFI

• Noted: This Quad M.2 PCIe SSD Host Adapter can not splitter PCIE X16 to PCIe X4X4X4X4, so your motherboard must support PCIE Bifurcation function. Otherwise, only one M.2 PCIe SSD will be recognized. If you are not sure PCIe Bifurcation of your motherboard, please provide the model information, and we will reply within 24 hours.
• Setup PCIE splitter in BIOS/UEFI into X4X4X4X4 (Compatible with Hyper M.2 X16 mode in ASUS).
• If PCIE lane splitter to X8X4X4 mode, it will be only 3 x M.2 PCIE SSD.
• Number of M.2 NVMe SSD may vary depending on different CPUs and motherboards.

Soft RAID in Window 10

• When you find 4 separate M.2 NVMe SSD in Disk Management of Windows 10
• Right click the disk volume, which you want to setup soft RAID
• A pop-up window appears, click the option (Spanned/Striped/Mirrored/RAID-5)
• Noted: You can setup soft RAID in Linux/Mac/3rd party software also.

PCI-Express 4.0 X16 Full Speed

• Compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0 motherboards, and install into PCI-Express X16 lane.
• To reach PCIe 4.0 speed, make sure your CPU and motherboard and PCIe SSDs are all PCIe 4.0 enabled.
• To reach PCIe X16 full bandwidth, setup 4 x M.2 NVMe SSD into RAID 0 mode.

M.2 SSD Installation

• M.2 SSD head tilted at 30 degree angle, inserted into Key M interface
• The brass standoff snaps into the semi-circular position at the end of the M.2 SSD
• Secure the brass standoff from the back with screw
