    Vszerda PA44 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter, Bifurcation Built-in | Works on All Motherboards, IX8024 Switch Chip, 4 NVMe on One X8 Slot, PCIe 4.0 128Gb/s, 2280 Only, Both Brackets, Soft RAID

    • 4-slot M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 x8 adapter card: expands 4x M.2 NVMe Key M ports via a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, delivering up to 128Gb/s shared bandwidth. Compatible with PCIe x8/x16 slots (includes standard & low-profile brackets). Note: exclusively supports 2280-form factor M.2 NVMe SSDs.
    • Powered by the IX8024 controller with PCIe bifurcation built in - works with all motherboards, including Mac Pro; no need for motherboard/CPU PCIe bifurcation support. Honest note: four drives share the X8 bandwidth (16GB/s max).
    • Supports software RAID configuration (no hardware RAID) - set up easily via Windows/Linux/macOS tools. Intel's RAID-on-CPU (VROC) requires a separate license purchase.
    • Enables OS booting from M.2 NVMe SSDs - requires OS reinstallation and BIOS/UEFI configuration. Legacy motherboards may only support storage use (non-boot functionality).
    • Plug-and-play on Windows 11/10/8/Linux/macOS (Windows 7 not supported). New M.2 NVMe SSDs must be initialized and formatted before system recognition. Backed by GLOTRENDS lifetime tech support.

    GLOTRENDS PA44 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter, Bifurcation Built-in Four PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs on one slot - and it works on every motherboard. The PA44 carries an IX8024 PCIe switch chip that splits the lanes on the card, so there is no BIOS bifurcation to configure and no compatibility gamble. Install, screw in your drives, go. WHY A SWITCH CHIP MATTERS Passive quad adapters only work when the motherboard supports x16 bifurcation. The PA44 removes that requirement entirely - including on Mac Pro - as long as the slot has X8 lane bandwidth. HONEST BANDWIDTH NOTE All four drives share the PCIe 4.0 X8 upstream link (128Gb/s = 16GB/s maximum). This card is built for drive count and capacity; for per-drive dedicated full-speed lanes, choose a passive X16 adapter on a bifurcation-capable board. KEY FEATURES 4 x M.2 Key-M ports, 2280-form-factor NVMe SSDs only Up to 128Gb/s shared bandwidth, backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 Standard + low-profile brackets included (towers, SFF builds, 2U/4U racks) Soft RAID via Windows/Linux/macOS tools; Intel VROC needs separate license OS boot supported (OS reinstallation + BIOS/UEFI configuration)
