Sabrent EC-P4BF interface cards/adapter Internal M.2

NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card, Black, Aluminum, 137 x 16 x 180 mm, 0.481 kg

Key Features

• More Storage: Add up to four high-performance NVMe SSDs to a system with a single adapter in a physical x16 PCIe slot with the Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card (EC-P4BF). The system requires the PCIe bifurcation (lane splitting) function to add more than one SSD with the full 16 lanes (4x/4x/4x/4x) required for 3 or 4 drives (x8/x8 or x4/x4 for two)
• PCIe 4.0 Compliant: Supports even the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs but also works with older and newer generation SSDs at up to 4.0 speeds. Works in older 3.0/2.0 systems that have PCIe bifurcation support. Compatible with NVMe SSDs in the M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors for your convenience
• Built Cool: Designed with quality aluminum for physical stability and top-notch cooling. Thermal padding is included to ensure the best cooling interface for your SSDs. Optional active cooling (fan) via a rear-positioned switch for high-performance environments. Your drives won’t throttle in here
• RAID Capable, Flexible Management: The card is plug and play with no drivers required. Supports Intel® VROC and AMD Ryzen™ NVMe RAID with their respective limitations. Drives may be operated individually or in software and UEFI RAID which includes Windows Storage Spaces

Description

Add up to four high-performance NVMe SSDs to a system with a single adapter in a physical x16 PCIe slot. The system requires the PCIe bifurcation (lane splitting) function to add more than one SSD with a full 16 lanes (x4/x4/x4/x4) required for 3 or 4 drives (x8/x8 or x4/x4 for two). Supports even the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs but also works with older and newer generation SSDs at up to 4.0 speeds. Works in older 3.0/2.0 systems that have PCIe bifurcation support. Compatible with NVMe SSDs in the M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors for your convenience. Designed with quality aluminum for physical stability and top-notch cooling. Thermal padding is included to ensure the best cooling interface for your SSDs. Optional active cooling (fan) via a rear-positioned switch for high-performance environments. Your drives won’t throttle in here. The card is plug and play with no drivers required. Supports Intel® VROC and AMD Ryzen™ NVMe RAID with their respective limitations.

Unmatched Convenience

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.

Fast & Cool

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.

The card is plug and play with no drivers required. Supports Intel® VROC and AMD Ryzen™ NVMe RAID with their respective limitations. Drives may be operated individually or in software and UEFI RAID which includes Windows Storage Spaces.

This card requires M.2 M key NVMe SSDs and UEFI PCIe bifurcation support to work properly. The destination PCIe slot must be x16 in physical length. Please visit the manufacturer website for more information and contact our technical support team for assistance.
