Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Four PCIe 5.0/4.0 M.2 slots on one x16 card, up to 512 Gbps aggregate
  • ✓ Bootable RAID arrays supported on both AMD and Intel platforms
  • ✓ Blower-style active fan plus large heatsink fights sustained-load throttling
  • ✓ 6-pin PCIe power and two-phase 14W delivery for power-hungry Gen5 drives
  • ✓ Fits 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives, so short and long SSDs both work

Cons

  • ✗ Needs a motherboard with x16 PCIe bifurcation set to x4/x4/x4/x4
  • ✗ Active blower fan adds audible noise versus passive M.2 adapters
  • ✗ Occupies a full x16 slot, usually the one your GPU wants
  • ✗ Requires a spare 6-pin PCIe power lead from the PSU

Manufacturer description

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.
