Vszerda

Vszerda Quad M.2 NVME PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 Expansion Card

SKU CH-2R2D-HWV01

Adds four M-key NVME SSDs at up to 32 Gbps each via a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with bifurcation

  • Add four NVMe drives at once via PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 with motherboard bifurcation support
  • Each drive runs at full 32 Gbps bandwidth over four independent lanes
  • Per-drive LED indicators show activity status for all four installed SSDs
  • Accepts M-key NVMe modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors
  • Enables software RAID arrays in Windows 10 or through third-party tools

Quad M.2 NVMe expansion card for PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16

This add-on card adds four M-key NVMe SSDs through a single PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slot. The motherboard must support PCIe x16 bifurcation and be configurable to x4x4x4x4 in BIOS. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors and provides an individual LED for each drive's activity status. The card does not support SATA-based B-key or B+M-key M.2 drives.

Passive cooling with no added power draw

The card operates without fans or external power connectors, relying on case airflow and the slot for thermal management. Four drives running at up to 32 Gbps each produce heat that the motherboard and chassis must dissipate. Silent operation is inherent because there are no moving parts on the card itself. Power consumption comes entirely from the PCIe slot and the installed SSDs.

Requires bifurcation-capable motherboard

Installation needs a free PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slot and a CPU with sufficient lanes to drive four x4 NVMe devices. Without BIOS support for x4x4x4x4 bifurcation only one drive will be recognised. Software RAID can be created in Windows 10 or with third-party tools using four identical SSDs. Hardware RAID is not available and SATA M.2 drives cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda Quad M.2 NVME expansion card and what BIOS setting is required?

Insert the card into a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slot. The motherboard must support PCIe x16 Bifurcation set to "x4x4x4x4" in BIOS; otherwise only one SSD will be detected.

What maintenance will the four M.2 SSDs on this card need over time?

Each SSD has a dedicated LED showing power and activity. Monitor these indicators for drive health and keep firmware updated via the SSD vendor's tools; the card itself has no moving parts.

What is the first performance limit reached when all four drives run sustained workloads?

The card delivers up to 4x 32Gbps across the PCIe 4.0 x16 link. Sustained throughput is ultimately limited by the motherboard's bifurcation implementation and the CPU's available lane count.
