Green half-height PCIe card with four M.2 slots on both sides

Vszerda

Vszerda NVME M.2 to PCIe 3.0 x16 Raid Adapter

SKU CH-A4QA-1Q3BF

PCIe 3.0 x16 adapter holds four NVME drives for simultaneous full-speed operation in a half-height card

  • Supports four NVMe drives at full speed simultaneously
  • Soft RAID creation under Windows 10 or third-party software
  • Requires motherboard with PCIe lane bifurcation for all four drives
  • Fits half-height 2U server chassis with dual-sided mounting
  • Built-in high-power DC modules for sustained stable operation

Four NVMe slots on PCIe 3.0 x16

This adapter fits four NVMe M.2 drives into a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. It targets builders who want high-density storage in a half-height card. The board carries on-board DC power modules to keep all four drives fed. It suits 2U servers and compact chassis where drive bays are scarce.

Sustained four-drive throughput

Each drive can run at its full PCIe 3.0 x4 link when the motherboard splits the x16 lane into four x4 paths. Without that bifurcation the board will only see one drive. Software RAID under Windows 10 or third-party tools handles striping or mirroring; no hardware RAID engine is present. The power circuitry is sized for continuous multi-drive loads.

Replaces multi-card RAID controllers

It removes the need for several x4 adapter cards or a bulky hardware RAID card. The step up makes sense when the platform supports PCIe bifurcation and the builder wants four NVMe drives in one slot. Systems without lane-splitting or users who need hardware RAID offload will not benefit.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter need active cooling when four NVME drives run all day?

The card includes built-in high-power DC modules designed for sustainable and stable operation in a 2U server chassis.

What motherboard feature is required to use all four NVME slots?

The motherboard must support PCIe lane bifurcation so the x16 slot can split into four x4 links.

Will this card work in an older system that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

The adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface; it will physically fit but bandwidth will be limited to the slot's capability.
