• Item weight: 485 g
• Dimensions: 18 x 14 x 2 cm

• CARD ONLY, DRIVES NOT INCLUDED: This is a PCIe expansion card that holds up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs you supply. No SSD, no storage capacity, and no cables are in the box. In the box: the 4-drive NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 card with active cooling, all necessary screws, and a quick user guide.
• CHECK YOUR MOTHERBOARD FIRST: The host system must support PCIe bifurcation (also called PCIe lane splitting) in UEFI/BIOS to see more than one drive. Three or four drives need the full 16 lanes. The destination slot must be x16 in physical length. Without bifurcation support the card is limited to a single drive, so check the motherboard manual before you order.
• MORE STORAGE, FOUR DRIVES AT ONCE: Add one, two, three, or four high-performance NVMe SSDs through a single physical x16 PCIe slot with the Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card (EC-P4BF). Requires M.2 M key NVMe SSDs in the 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors. Runs at up to PCIe 4.0 speeds and is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0 slots that have bifurcation support.
• BUILT COOL: Quality aluminum construction for physical stability and top-notch cooling, with thermal padding included for all four SSDs. Optional active cooling via a rear-positioned fan switch for high-performance environments. Unlike bare passive adapters that leave drives to bake in a closed case, this one gives you a fan you can switch on. Rear-mounted LED indicators show drive status at a glance, with no extra software.
• RAID CAPABLE, PLUG AND PLAY: No drivers required. Supports Intel VROC and AMD Ryzen NVMe RAID within their respective limitations, and drives may be operated individually or in software and UEFI RAID including Windows Storage Spaces. Compatible with Windows 8.1 or higher.

The Sabrent Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card (EC-P4BF) is the perfect complement for a desktop that requires additional high-performance storage. Add one, two, three, or four NVMe SSDs with a single, physical x16 PCIe slot adapter. Only M.2 M key SSDs are supported but older and newer generation SSDs in the 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors will work at up to PCIe 4.0 speeds. The adapter is also backward compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0 slots. Drives can be accessed individually or placed into a RAID via Intel® VROC, AMD Ryzen™ NVMe RAID, UEFI RAID, or software-based RAID through Windows Storage Spaces, when respective criteria are met.High-performance drives and systems may require high-end cooling and this adapter has you covered. It’s constructed out of aluminum material for physical stability and improved heat dissipation. It also includes thermal padding for all four SSDs to keep things cool and in place. Active cooling for high-performance environments is optional with a switchable fan. The adapter is plug and play with driverless operation. Rear-mounted LEDs quickly show drive status for a quick visual update. The host must support PCIe bifurcation (lane splitting) to access more than one drive, so be sure to check your motherboard’s manual ahead of time.SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS• Windows 8.1 or higher.• One empty PCIe x16 slot.• A motherboard and BIOS compatible with PCIe Bifurcation (also called PCIe Splitting) is required. For instance: Intel VROCK / AMD Ryzen NVMe RAID.PACKAGE CONTENT• 4-DRIVE NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 card with active cooling.• All necessary screws.• Quick user guide.
