    Vszerda PU41 Quad U.2 SFF-8639 to PCIe 4.0 X16, Bifurcation Required | 4x U.2 SFF-8639 on One X16 Slot, 256Gbps Combined, Fits Intel Optane P4800X, CHECK: Bifurcation X4X4X4X4 Required

    • Add up to four 2.5" U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe SSDs to a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and use all four at the same time - an easy way to put a batch of enterprise U.2 drives (Intel Optane 905P / P4800X, 4TB / 6TB and above) to work in a workstation or server.
    • PCIe 4.0 x16 delivers up to 256Gbps of total bandwidth. With no onboard bifurcation chip, there are fewer active components, less heat and fewer failure points than on switch-based cards. Backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 U.2 enterprise drives.
    • CHECK BEFORE ORDERING: this card carries no onboard switch, so your motherboard must support PCIe x16 bifurcation - enable X4X4X4X4 in BIOS. With X8X4X4 only three drives are detected; without bifurcation only Port 1 works.
    • Build Intel or AMD soft RAID with Windows Disk Management or Linux mdadm, and boot from a U.2 drive after OS reinstallation and BIOS/UEFI setup (legacy boards: data-disk use only). Intel VROC requires a separately purchased key.
    • No capacity limit - 4TB/6TB enterprise drives supported. New drives need initialization and formatting. Backed by GLOTRENDS lifetime technical support.

    GLOTRENDS PU41 Quad U.2 SFF-8639 SSD to PCIe 4.0 X16 Adapter, Bifurcation Required Four enterprise U.2 SSDs, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, up to 256Gbps combined. The PU41 is the passive way to build a 16TB+ all-NVMe array from surplus datacenter drives - no switch chip, no fan, no power cable, nothing extra to fail. A NOTE FOR OPTANE OWNERS Intel Optane P4800X / 905P and similar enterprise U.2 drives were built for exactly this card: direct-to-CPU lanes, no translation layer, full endurance intact. IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE ORDERING This is a passive adapter. Your motherboard must support PCIe x16 bifurcation - enable X4X4X4X4 in BIOS. With X8X4X4 only three drives are detected; without bifurcation only Port 1 works. Check your motherboard manual or message us before ordering. WHAT YOU GET 4 x U.2 (SFF-8639) ports, no capacity limit (4TB/6TB enterprise drives) Up to 256Gbps combined, backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 drives Passive design: no fan, no noise, no extra power Soft RAID via Windows Disk Management or Linux mdadm; Intel VROC needs a separate key Bootable from a U.2 drive (OS reinstallation + BIOS/UEFI setup)
