Quad M.2 PCIe SSD Host Adapter
- Add 4 x M.2 PCIe (NVMe/AHCI) SSD (M-Key) onto a single PCIe X16 host adapter, so you can access 4 x M.2 PCIe SSD at the same time
- Support soft RAID in windows/Linux/3rd party software
- Support M.2 NVMe SSD RAID-on-CPU (VROC) in Intel Platform, but you need to purchase Intel VROC license by yourself
- Support M.2 NVMe RAID in AMD Platform
- Not compatible with Mac Pro 5.1
PCIE Bifurcation Setup in BIOS/UEFI
- Noted: This Quad M.2 PCIe SSD Host Adapter can not splitter PCIE X16 to PCIe X4X4X4X4, so your motherboard must support PCIE Bifurcation function. Otherwise, only one M.2 PCIe SSD will be recognized. If you are not sure PCIe Bifurcation of your motherboard, please provide the model information, and we will reply within 24 hours.
- Setup PCIE splitter in BIOS/UEFI into X4X4X4X4 (Compatible with Hyper M.2 X16 mode in ASUS).
- If PCIE lane splitter to X8X4X4 mode, it will be only 3 x M.2 PCIE SSD.
- Number of M.2 PCIE SSD may vary depending on different CPUs and motherboards.
Soft RAID in Window 10
- When you find 4 separate M.2 PCIE SSD in Disk Management of Windows 10
- Right click the disk volume, which you want to setup soft RAID
- A pop-up window appears, click the option (Spanned/Striped/Mirrored/RAID-5)
- Noted: You can setup soft RAID in Linux/Mac/3rd party software also.
PCI-Express 4.0 X16 Full Speed
- Compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0/2.0 motherboards, and install into PCI-Express X16 lane.
- To reach PCIe 4.0 speed, make sure your CPU and motherboard and PCIe SSDs are all PCIe 4.0 enabled.
- To reach PCIe X16 full bandwidth, setup 4 x M.2 PCIe SSD into RAID 0 mode.
M.2 SSDs Installation
- M.2 SSD head tilted at 30 degree angle, inserted into Key M interface
- The brass standoff snaps into the semi-circular position at the end of the M.2 SSD
- Secure the brass standoff from the back with screw
Packaging includes
- PA41
- 4 x M.2 Screw and Copper Stand
- 8cm low-profile bracket
- Screws for bracket mounting to PC
- Screwdriver

The board is great, affordable and easy to use and works well. It would probably be a good idea as other have mentioned to use single sided M.2 drives as there may be clearance issues for double sided drives due to the design of the board.Like some others have experienced, my order was missing the stand offs and screws that were supposed to be preinstalled on the board. I contacted the Glotrends and they shipped the missing screws the next day. It took a while but I eventually got them and everything works fine. They were very responsive and stand behind their product and I commend them for that.In the end, the board is working great and I am satisfied with my purchase.

Funktioniert einwandfrei. HAbe ich schon 2x verbaut. Mainboard muss halt Bifurcation unterstützen.

I bought two of these cards and both didn't have the screws and screwposts at 2280 advertised in the picture. They only have 22110 screwposts and yet are missing the screws for it. Can't even find 22110 drives and got it for the 2280 drives.

Une fois le bios de la Carte mère configuré pour prendre en charge le PCI-Ex Bifurcation en 4x4x4x4, la carte est totalement transparente pour le systeme et les SSD NVME sont tous parfaitement reconnu.Très satisfait de cet achat.

Wanted 4x drives in one slot, got 4 drives in one slot.Enable 4x4x4x4 in BIOS to access all 4 drives

I was unable to take full advantage of this card because of my motherboard. I can only bifurcate x4x4x8. If you want to use all of them, then you need x4x4x4x4.I knew that going in though, and I'm super happy to have three more NVMe cards on my motherboard.

Excellent card to split a x16 slot for 4 NVME drives at 4.0 x4 speeds. Using for intel optane caching for over a year with no hiccups.

I purchased this a while back and was very confused why I wasn't getting the speeds I was expecting like the listing claims. I initially thought it was due to overhead of ZFS, so I researched more. Then I took a closer look at the board... What is under that heatsink? So here we go...Although this does the job of bifurcation, it doesn't technically require full bifurcation support on your system.... Because it's not a bifurcation card, it's rather a splitter card. For it to be an actual bifurcation card, it has to be entirely passive. You see, it has a sneaky little PCIE switch chip that has a PCIE Gen2 x1 upstream and splits it into 4 PCIE Gen2x1, essentially only giving an theoretical maximum of 500MB/s. You can look up the chip from asmedia: "ASM1184E" to find out more.And this is where this gets a little squirrely... The seller states in the listing "~32GBbps (PCIe 4.0 X16)". The listing claims you can get PCIe Gen4x16 bandwidth which is entirely false. If this was an actual bifurcation card, meaning it should be passive, then you wouldn't need a PCIe switch chip. I find the product listing very deceiving.

Not sure if I spelled that right, bifurcation. This card does not do its own bifurcation. If your motherboard dose then make sure it can bifurcate by 4, the slot you put it into. I would have had to use this in the first x16 slot, which my GPU occupies, in order to get x4, but I couldn't fit the GPU into the second slot so I had to buy another .. well, 2 of these that actually DO bifurcation on the adapter itself.I ended up not using this, I'll figure out a use for it in the future, because my second slot cannot X4 bifurcate, only x2, so watch out for that. The first slot can do x4 but the second slot on the mobo is only x2, this is something I didn't expect to run into and I didn't find any information about it so you have that info here now.If you want to make sure all of your nvme show up in your OS, get a board that does the bifurcation on-board, not forcing the motherboard to do it as a feature. You'll be glad you spend the extra money and it will cost quite a bit more for that. Also, what I did was get pcie gen 3 cards with 2x nvme slots on each. I have pcie gen 4 but the way I set this up the nvme are just a tad bit faster than my gen 4 nvme I have on board. I did raid0 on the entire set which grants me a bit over full speed of my gen 4 drives. This was a cheaper alternative since I am doing raid0 but if you're not doing raid0 then it will be much slower if getting gen 4. Safest bet is gen 4 all the way through, of course.

Doesn't work well with X670E-E MB.Don't waste your time playing with bifurcation modes or searching for a solution, you'll get only one m.2 working at best.

Needed to expand an old (ish) HP Z440 and add NVMe drives. Bought this to add 2 drives to the PC and realised it holds for so I'm more than happy. Amazing kit and works bang on - even recognised in Opencore when building a Hackintosh from the HP Z440.
