GLOTRENDS PA41 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X16 Adapter, Bifurcation Needed
- 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 (Intel 11th gen or newer). Fits 2230/2242/2260/2280 and 22110 lengths.
- Check your board first: this card has no onboard switch chip, so your motherboard must support PCIe x16 bifurcation - set X4X4X4X4 (or Hyper M.2 X16) in BIOS/UEFI. Without it only the first M.2 slot works; X8X4X4 mode shows only 3 of 4 drives. Check your manual or message us before ordering.
- Bootable OS drive: reinstall your OS and set BIOS/UEFI to boot straight from the SSDs on this card. A few older boards only support data-disk mode.
- Build Intel or AMD soft RAID inside Windows or Linux with OS tools - no separate hardware RAID controller to buy. Turn four SSDs into one fast or redundant array. Intel VROC needs a separate license.
- No driver needed on Windows 11/10/8, Linux and macOS (not Windows 7). Includes the adapter card plus both full-height and low-profile brackets. M.2 NVMe SSDs are not included.
