Your cart is empty.ASUS HYPER M.2 X16 GEN5 CARD can support up to 4*M.2 NVME SSD devices, for both AMD and Intel® platform RAID functions. With PCIe Gen5 speed, providing up to 128GT/s bandwidth per M.2 slot, Maximum speed with 4 slots can reach up to 512GT/s total. Designed with an extraordinary thermal heatsink, and active blower-style fan, it can hold the heat from the latest M.2 NVME devices, and ease temperature-induced throttling that can affect performance during heavy, sustained storage loads.

The product does exactly what it says it does -- you can install up to four NVME sticks. It's a full-sized card, with a fan and a heat sink to keep the NVMEs cool. If you need to build a high-performance file server, this would be one way to do it.Be advised, the maximum number of NVME devices depends on how much available PCIe bandwidth your motherboard has. It will not support as many NVME devices if you lack the PCIe bandwidth. You may encounter problems if you add this to a computer that already has a high-performance video card or other accessories that use most of your PCIe bandwidth.

Card works okay for what it is. Does need bifurcation for it to work. I thought I would have a use case for this but I was wrong. I lost the packaging so I'm stuck with this oddball card that I can't really do anything with.

It keeps my M.2 SSD cool and quick. Pulling almost 8G/second (7800) over pcie4.

You need to know if your motherboard supports a 'bifurcation' function and if you can use the middle pci port if you use a graphics card in the top one. basically, it is a function in the bios that splits your assigned 16x pci express port into 4 4x segments, one for each of your m.2s in this card. Not all mbs even call it bifurcation so if you have an intel board look for VTOC which is the intel m.2 brand RAID unless you use intel ssds (from what I understand but do your own research if you need intel ssds or just an intel mb to use VTOC) dont select VTOC but the bios option should allow non VTOC splitting. I have a TUF x299 mark 1 and in the BIOS, it was under CPU and STORAGE area. it was very obscure, and it took me 4 hours to even learn about this requirement. THE CARD IS WELL MADE AND WORKS GREAT ONCE IT IS CONFIGURED PROPERLY AND I WOULD GIVE IT 4+ STARS. this is a 5gen card, but I put 4gen m.2s in it 4tb. Windows server 2019 recognized the drives. I just wish this would be mentioned in the product description before buying. Good luck, may the odds be forever in your favor

Its a great little product. Easy to install, just make sure your computer support PCIe Bifurcation. I was able to install the NVME drives in the board and install the board in the computer in less time than it took me enable the PCIe Bifurcation in my Bios. Yeah, this board works great, its really fast and simple to use. Its a real bargain at this price.

this is soo much better than the 1 slot card that came with my MoBo that only had 1 slot and not fan cooled. so far ive had no speed issues(gen 4's till the 5's come down in price a bit) this has been a dream with no thermal issues or speed so im very happy. im upto 14 mixed drives in my Photo Editing machine.

FIRST:> Your motherboard must support Bifurcation or splitting of a single PCI-Express slot into multiple lanes.The ONLY boards that support 4-way bifurcation, which would be necessary to use all 4 slots, are server boards that utilize an X299 or newer server chipset, & mostly run on Xeon processors unless you're okay with 4 generation old (X299 support Intel Core CPU's up to 10th gen) system....I eventually plan to upgrade to a W790 based workstation PC which does support all-4 slots but those boards by themselves cost more than my top end i9-13900KS, motherboard, & 64GB of RAM combined. Unfortunately, I cannot reuse the RAM (DDR4) on any W790 board I've found.SECONDLY:> Are you wanting to add additional drive space, or just run a RAID array? If the latter, make sure your motherboard doesn't natively support RAID first, more than half of the models available do support RAID these days. A large portion of those that do not, also do not support bifurcation and you would only be able to use 1 slot out of the 4...Intel has no plans (at least not in their current pipeline) to increase the number of PCI-E lanes supported in consumer CPU's which would also be necessary for a home PC to support all 4 slots. So in the end, this ends up being a somewhat expensive way to add one or two M.2 slots to your PC. Even without a GPU most home boards only support 2 slots, though there are a few older chipsets that support 3 slots if you're not using an add-in GPU.Operation wise, this runs like a champ. I had a brief opportunity to run two Gen5 nvme drives in RAID on this card, & they were phenomenal, even on my Gen4 PCI-E slot. Only real reason for 3 stars instead of 5 is the extreme lack of motherboard support to run 4 slots. As such, there should be a 2 slot version of the card for the normal home users, along side the 4-slot card for server/workstation users.

Of course this is like the previous generation cards that require PCIe bifurcation on the slot it’s put into.A lot of consumer motherboards these days do 1x8/2x4 in the first/second slot respectively. This means this device can be useful to optimize IO with limited PCIe slots and lanes while still having a graphics card in the first slot.In my case I have a B550 board with only one usable NVMe slot due to having a peripheral on my 3rd PCIe slot. Having this card allows me to make use of the unused second slot to add an additional 2 NVMe drives at full speed.This is nothing special and now there are many cards that do this but what I like about this card is that it is the only one I’ve found so far that supports Gen 5 speeds making it a long term purchase.It is packaged with a few goodies, including extra mounting screws and also foam spacers for single sided drives to get adequate pressure against the front side thermal pads.Another goodie which is very cool (literally) is a connector to motherboard fan headers which would allow software control of the fan speed. Personally I don’t use the fan at all since I’m only using two PCIe 4.0 drives which don’t get that hot compared to 5.0 drives.Finally, I was surprised to see a 6-pin PCIe power header on this board. My two drives seem to work fine without this plugged in but I can see it providing extra power if there were 4x Gen 5 drives running at full power.All in all, I’m happy with this purchase as it should hopefully come useful for a long time so long as I intend to upgrade to PCIe 5.0 components some day.

Well, if you need to add 4 M.2 drives to your PC, this is just about the only way but… it has an ANNOYING fan and has no temperature sensors so it will simply spin for no reason no matter what you do with the POS Armory Crate that Asus makes.I found a 3rd party fan controller and have permanently set it to 30% fan and it’s decently quiet. Have yet to see drives throttle (have 4x4tb gen 5 SSDs inside) so it’s an inelegant solution.It DOES have a tiny switch at the back that can turn the fan off/on which you can do if it really peeves you - or if you choose alternate cooling methods.
