Bullet Points:
- GLOTRENDS River 4-bay NVMe Adapter only work with PCIE bifurcation motherboard with empty PCIe X16 . It enables installation of 4 NVMe drives on a single card, only support 2280 form factor.
- PCIE 3.0X16 bandwidth reach128Gbps at maximum or PCIE 3.0 X4 bandwidth for each NVMe SSD. Convert PCIE X16 into X4X4X4X4 or X8X4X4 depends on mortherboard design.
- Support RIAD on Intel platform or AMD platform, visit motherboard manufacture website for RAID setup manual. Depending on CPU and motherboard, the amount of NVMe SSD recognized by PC will be vary.
- Support Intel VROC, need to purchase Hardware key separately. Z390 and Z370 need to install IRST 16 or later driver. X299 need to install VROC driver.
PCIE Channel Allocation by Yourself
- PCIE 3.0X16 bandwidth reach128Gbps at maximum, or PCIE 3.0 X4 bandwidth for each NVMe SSD
- Allocate PCIE X16 into X4X4X4X4 or X8X4X4 depends on mortherboard design.
Note:
1) For PCIE Bifurcation motherboard, this item can recognize 1-4 M.2 PCIE SSD, and you can design PCIE channel allocation.
2) For Non-bifurcation motherboard, this item can only recognize 1 M.2 PCIE SSD.
How to configure PCIE channel?
- Please consult the motherboard manufacturer, because different manufacturer has different configuration.
Intel VROC
- Please consult Intel for VROC configuration.
- To setup Intel VROC, need to purchase Hardware key separately. Z390 and Z370 need to install IRST 16 or later driver. X299 need to install VROC driver.
NVMe RAID on AMD Ryzen Threadripper
- Please consult AMD for NVMe RAID configuration.
Software RAID configuraiton
- Software RAID configuration under Windows 10
- PCIE Bifurcation motherboard is required.
