Supports four 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs for maximum performance and flexibility
PCIe 3.0 x16 connection with up to 128 Gb/s bandwidth
Automatic lane detection (bifurcation) for optimum system integration
LED indicators for easy fault diagnosis and operating status
No additional driver required - native Windows and Linux support
The InLine® PCI Express card expands your system with four internal U.2 NVMe SSD slots and enables parallel operation of four SSDs with full PCIe bandwidth. Thanks to automatic lane detection, configuration is carried out for optimum system integration.
With a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, the card offers a maximum bandwidth of up to 128 Gb/s, with each U.2 port supporting a data rate of up to 4 GB/s. LED indicators for read and write activity make it easy to monitor the operating status.
Note on dimensions:
The card has a length of 288 mm and a width of 122 mm. Please check that your housing offers sufficient space for installation and that adequate ventilation is ensured.

System requirements: Hardware:
PC with one free PCIe 3.0 x16 (or x16 slot)
Motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation
BIOS/UEFI settings for PCIe bifurcation:
In order for both U.2 NVMe SSDs to be operated simultaneously, the PCIe slot used must often be set to Bifurcation mode in the BIOS/UEFI. This divides the available PCIe lanes into several channels (e.g. one x16 slot into four x4 channels).
The exact designation varies depending on the motherboard manufacturer and BIOS/UEFI version. Terms such as PCIe Bifurcation", "Lane Splitting" or "PCIe Slot Configuration may be used. Please consult your mainboard manual for the correct setting and then check whether all NVMe SSDs are recognized.
