GLOTRENDS Quad M.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0 X16 Adapter Card, Bifurcation Required
- 4-slot M.2 NVMe to PCIe 5.0 X16 adapter card: expands 4x M.2 NVMe Key M slots via a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, delivering up to 512Gb/s combined bandwidth. Supports 2230/2280 form factor M.2 NVMe SSDs.
- CHECK BEFORE ORDERING: set the PCIe Bifurcation mode of the corresponding PCIe slot in BIOS - supports X4X4X4X4 or Hyper M.2 X16 mode (X8X4X4 or X4X4X8 can only recognize 3 x NVMe SSDs). This card does not create bifurcation.
- Passive by design: no switch chip, no fan, no extra power cable - zero noise and zero added failure points. Both regular and low-profile brackets included.
- Full PCIe 5.0 performance (512Gbps) requires all components to support PCIe 5.0: CPU, motherboard slot and SSD. Intel 12th Gen and older CPUs do not support PCIe 5.0.
- Soft RAID 0/1 via Windows Disk Management, Linux mdadm or macOS; boot from any drive (OS reinstallation + UEFI mode required). Intel VROC requires a separate license purchase.

Fewer components, less noise, nothing extra to fail. IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE ORDERING This is a passive adapter. Enable PCIe bifurcation on the slot in BIOS (X4X4X4X4 or Hyper M.2 X16 mode). Without it, only the first drive is detected; X8X4X4 / X4X4X8 modes read only 3 of 4 drives. Check your motherboard manual or contact us before ordering. WHAT YOU GET 4 x M.2 Key-M ports for 2230/2280 NVMe SSDs Up to 512Gb/s combined on PCIe 5.0, backward compatible at native speeds Zero-noise passive design, both regular and low-profile brackets included Soft RAID 0/1 via Windows Disk Management, Linux mdadm or macOS Bootable from any of the four drives (UEFI mode)
