This card has no onboard switch chip, so your board must support PCIe x16 bifurcation and let you set X4X4X4X4 (or Hyper M.2 X16) in BIOS/UEFI. No bifurcation only the first M.2 slot works; X8X4X4 mode only 3 of 4 drives show up. Check your board's manual or message us before ordering.
Run four M.2 NVMe SSDs at once from a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot — up to 64Gbps per drive (256Gbps combined) when CPU, motherboard and SSDs are all PCIe 4.0 (PCIe 4.0 needs Intel 11th-gen or newer). Fits 2230/2242/2260/2280 and 22110 lengths.
Reinstall your OS and set BIOS/UEFI to boot straight from the M.2 NVMe SSD on this card, not only use it as a data disk. Run your system, apps and scratch files on four drives at full speed. Note: a few older boards only support data-disk mode.
Build Intel or AMD soft RAID right inside Windows or Linux using the OS tool — no separate hardware RAID controller to buy. Turn four SSDs into one fast or redundant array. Intel VROC needs a license you purchase separately. For best results use four SSDs of the same model.
No driver needed on Windows 11/10/8, Linux and Mac OS (not Windows 7). Includes the adapter card, both full-height and low-profile brackets. M.2 NVMe SSDs are not included.
