Connect four drives through one card
The card supports four PCIe M.2 SSDs at the same time. Because it has no onboard chip, your system must support PCIe bifurcation to divide the x16 slot’s lanes between the drives.
You can use software RAID, including Microsoft Storage Spaces or Linux mdraid/mdadm. This lets you configure storage for redundancy or performance.
Keep installation straightforward
The card works without additional software or drivers, provided your system supports bifurcation. It accepts PCIe NVMe and PCIe AHCI M.2 drives with M-key or B+M-key connectors.
A pre-installed, vented full-profile bracket helps airflow around the card and supports heat dissipation.
Included with the card

- Confirm your M.2 drives have an M-key or B+M-key connector.
