Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ IX8024 PCIe 4.0 switch runs 4 drives on non-bifurcation boards
  • ✓ x8 card works in older x8/x16 slots with no driver install
  • ✓ Soft RAID 0 tested past 14,000MB/s across the four M.2 slots
  • ✓ Onboard chip fan plus aluminum heat plate holds temps under load

Cons

  • ✗ M-key 2280 only; B-key SATA and PCIe x2 M.2 drives won't work
  • ✗ Booting requires motherboard BIOS NVMe plus PCIe boot support
  • ✗ Active fan adds a moving part and noise versus passive adapters
  • ✗ x8 lanes split four ways caps per-drive PCIe 4.0 throughput

Key Features

  • [Active Card] PCI Express 4.0 x8 Lane Host adapter powered by IX8024 PCIe 4.0 Switch. It compatible with most motherboards, no driver required, supports X8 X16 slot motherboards, old motherboards can also easily achieve "one slot to four drives". This product does not include NVMe SSD Solid State Drive.
  • [Efficient Heat Dissipation] Independent chip cooling fan, together with the customized heat dissipation aluminum alloy plate, can effectively reduce the temperature and improve the stability during operation.
  • [Individual or RAID] Install four (4x) M.2 NGFF PCIe based (AHCI or NVMe) SSD on a single PCIe x8 Card. Allow you to use SSDs individually or in a storage pool for OS or 3rd party software RAID configuration. Soft RAID 0 speed test over 14000MB/S.
  • [Compatible] Compatible with PCIe 5.0/4.0 motherboards, and backward compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0 x8 or x16 slots. Works with all workstations or servers with Windows, Linux, and macOS. No driver required. Note: The motherboard BIOS must support NVMe SSD and support booting from PCIe in order to boot from a M.2 NVMe SSD on 3005K.
  • [Support SSD] Supports PCIe M-Key M.2 NGFF (NVMe or AHCI) 2280 SSDs such as Samsung SM951/950/960/970, Plextor M6e Series, Kingston HyperX Predator. Not compatible with a 'B' key M.2 PCIe x2 SSD or 'B' key M.2 SATA SSD.
