StarTech.com PCI Express Expansion Card / PCIe x8 / 2x M.2 PCIe SSD / NVMe AHCI / 7.8GBps / PCIe Slot Splitter Configuration Required / Windows / Linux / High-Speed Data Transfer

High Performance: Install two PCIe M.2 SSDs (NVMe or AHCI) into your PC or server via a x8 or x16 PCI Express 4.0 slot for ultra-fast data access. Supports ultra-fast data access with up to 7.8GBps read/write speeds per drive. Wide Compatibility: This dual M.2 PCIe SSD adapter card has been tested and verified to work with 2242/2260/2280/22110mm PCIe M-Key M.2 SSDs, including the Samsung 980 Pro, 970 EVO, 950 EVO, and SM951. Note: SATA-based M.2 drives are not supported.
Backward Compatibility: Compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards that support PCIe bifurcation (split configuration), allowing use of either an x8 or x16 PCIe slot. PCIe bifurcation configuration required. Compatible with various computer and server operating systems, including Windows, Windows Server, and Linux. Software RAID Functionality: This M.2 PCI Express adapter allows individual access to each M.2 PCIe SSD. Using OS or third-party RAID software, you can build arrays with RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD for added redundancy, capacity, and performance. Ventilated Bracket: A standard-profile bracket is pre-installed, and a low-profile (half-height) bracket is included. The vented bracket improves airflow, preventing performance degradation due to overheating drives.
Add two PCI Express M.2 SSDs to your desktop/server to boost system speed and internal data storage. Provides ultra-fast data access, ideal for high-performance workstations.
*NVMe SSDs require a driver from the drive manufacturer, or a native driver may be provided depending on the operating system (Windows 8 or later, Mac OS 10.10.3 or later). Earlier operating system versions do not natively support NVMe.
*For information on how to enable and configure PCIe bifurcation (splitting), please refer to the manual that came with your computer or motherboard.
