Adds four U.2 NVMe bays over a PCIe 3.0/4.0 x16 slot, requiring motherboard bifurcation to run all drives at full speed
This add-on card connects up to four U.2 NVMe solid-state drives through a single PCIe x16 slot. It is built for workstation and server builders who need high-density, enterprise-grade storage without occupying multiple expansion slots. The card requires a motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation to address all four drives simultaneously.
No driver installation is needed for Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 R2 or Linux operating systems. The card fits a standard PCIe x16 slot and uses SFF-8639 connectors for the 2.5 inch drives. The motherboard without PCIe signal split can only recognize one SSD, so bifurcation must be enabled in the BIOS before all four drives become visible.
Check that your motherboard firmware offers PCIe bifurcation options such as x4/x4/x4/x4 for the target slot. Confirm the system BIOS supports booting from a U.2 NVMe device if you plan to use one as the primary OS drive. Ensure the chassis has enough physical space and cooling for four 2.5 inch drives mounted on the adapter.

No published specifications for this item yet.
Enter the motherboard BIOS and verify that four distinct NVMe drives appear; if only one shows, the board lacks PCIe bifurcation support.
The card provides four SFF-8639 U.2 ports; you must supply four 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSDs and a motherboard with PCIe 3.0/4.0 x16 bifurcation.
This single model handles both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 x16 links; select it if your board can split the x16 slot into four x4 lanes.
