    Vszerda PA40 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 X8 Adapter, Built-in Bifurcation | Works on All Motherboards, Built-in ASM2824 Switch, 4 NVMe on One X8 Slot, Silent Cooling Fan, Fits 2230-22110, Soft RAID

    • Works on all kinds of motherboards: the built-in ASM2824 switch chip splits the lanes on the card - no CPU/motherboard PCIe bifurcation needed (the PCIe slot must have X8 lane bandwidth). Universal for PC, server and Mac Pro.
    • Quad M.2 NVMe on one PCIe 3.0 X8 slot: run four M.2 NVMe SSDs (22110/2280/2260/2242/2230) at the same time. Honest note: four drives share the X8 bandwidth (64Gbps = 8GB/s max) and cannot all run at full speed simultaneously.
    • Silent heatsink fan cools the ASM2824 controller and all four SSDs, keeping the adapter running at sustained load without performance loss - no noise complaints, no throttling.
    • Soft RAID via OS tools on Intel/AMD platforms (Windows Disk Management, Storage Spaces, Linux mdadm); Intel VROC requires a separate license. OS boot supported on most boards (reinstall OS, set BIOS/UEFI).
    • Plug and play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/macOS (Windows 7 not supported). New SSDs need initialization and formatting. Backed by GLOTRENDS lifetime tech support.

    GLOTRENDS PA40 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 X8 Adapter, Built-in Bifurcation Four NVMe SSDs, one PCIe slot, every motherboard welcome. The PA40 carries an ASM2824 PCIe switch chip that splits the lanes on the card - no BIOS bifurcation setting, no compatibility gamble. A silent heatsink fan keeps the controller and all four drives cool under sustained load. WHY A SWITCH CHIP MATTERS Passive quad adapters only work when the motherboard supports x16 bifurcation. The PA40 removes that requirement: it works with all kinds of motherboards, servers and Mac Pro - just make sure the slot has X8 lane bandwidth. HONEST BANDWIDTH NOTE All four drives share the PCIe 3.0 X8 upstream link (64Gbps = 8GB/s maximum), so four drives cannot run at full speed at the same time. Ideal for capacity-focused storage pools and backups. KEY FEATURES 4 x M.2 Key-M ports for 22110/2280/2260/2242/2230 NVMe SSDs Silent heatsink fan for sustained full-load operation Soft RAID via Windows/Linux/macOS tools; Intel VROC needs separate license OS boot supported on most boards Plug and play on Windows 11/10/8, Linux and macOS
