Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 AIC Adapter

The Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 AIC Adapter connects four M.2 NVMe drives through a single PCIe x16 slot. It is designed for desktop builders who need to add high-speed storage without occupying multiple motherboard slots. The card targets enthusiasts and workstation users seeking maximum drive density.

PCIe x16 to four M.2 NVMe slots

This adapter suits builders with a free PCIe x16 slot who want to run four NVMe drives simultaneously. It is not for systems lacking a full-length x16 electrical connection or for users who only need one or two additional drives. Buyers requiring boot support should verify motherboard compatibility before purchase.

Four-drive capacity via x16 interface

The card accommodates four M.2 NVMe drives, delivering substantial storage expansion from one slot. Bandwidth is shared across the x16 link, so sustained throughput per drive depends on the host platform and workload. Performance will scale with the number of active drives and the PCIe generation supported by the CPU and chipset.
