This StarTech Quad M.2 PCIe Adapter Card is designed to expand your desktop workstation or server storage by adding four PCIe M.2 SSDs (NVMe or AHCI) through an available PCIe x16 slot supporting PCI Express 4.0 technology. It delivers ultra-fast data access with read and write speeds reaching up to 7.8GBps per drive, maximizing system performance for demanding applications. The adapter supports a wide range of M-Key and B+M Key SSDs in multiple sizes including 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110mm, ensuring broad compatibility with popular drives such as Samsung 980 Pro and 970 EVO series. No onboard chip is present, which enhances system compatibility but requires motherboard support for PCIe bifurcation to function properly. Users can utilize software RAID solutions like Storage Spaces on Windows or mdraid/mdadm on Linux to create RAID arrays that improve redundancy or boost performance through RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, or JBOD configurations. The pre-installed vented full-profile bracket promotes better airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent drive throttling during intensive use. This adapter card is compatible with most workstation and server operating systems without the need for additional drivers, making it a versatile solution for expanding high-speed storage capabilities.

Upgrade your system storage performance today with the StarTech Quad M.2 PCIe Adapter Card and experience ultra-fast data access and reliable operation.
