- GLOTRENDS Sky 4-bay NVMe Adapter works with any motherboard with empty PCIe X16 or X8 lane ( doesn't need motherboard with PCIe bifurcation function). It enables installation of 4 NVMe drives on a single card, only support 2280 form factor
- 4 NVMe SSD shares PCIE 3.0 X8 bandwidth (8x8=64Gbits/s), definitely can reach up to 6500MB/s reading speed and 6500MB/s writing speed under RAID 0 mode (Stripe mode)
- Soft RAID Configuration (Span, Stripe, Mirror Mode) in windows or Mac, it is not Hard RAID. Any 2/3/4 pieces M.2 NVMe SSD can be organized to RAID mode through third-party RAID management software
- It is a great accelerated secondary storage solution for any workstation with true PCIe 3.0 x8 bandwidth. Great and economic choice to build your ultra speed system for video photo processing or gaming.

PCIE 3.0 X8 Bandwidth
Normally, One M.2 NVME SSD may reach the full speed of PCIE 3.0X4. But to reach full speed of PCIE 3.0X8, you need to setup RAID 0 (Striped Volume) with 2 NVME SSD at least.
For example:
The performance of Samsung 970 EVO is sequential read/write speeds of 3,500/2,500 MB/s.
With 2/3/4 Samsung 970 SSDs setup RAID 0 (Striped Volume) mode, you can reach sequential read/write speeds of 6,500/6,100 MB/s.
Test Condition:
4 X Samsung 970 EVO, Intel i7 CPU, ASUS Z370 Plus MB, Window 10, Striped RAID setup
