Aplicata Quattro 400 M.2 Nvme Ssd Adapter
Aug 02, 2018 We looked all over the Internet for a Host Bus adapter that could hold more than one M.2 NVMe, and the only one that we could find was the Aplicata Quattro 400. It works amazingly well, and we are now looking to fill the other 2 NVMe slots, for a total of 4. The installation was a breeze, and the system picked up the new drives instantly. 8x PCIe to two 4x m key NVME m.2 adapter? Discussion in 'SSDs & Data Storage' started by ZarathustraH, Apr. I wanted to speed up my ZFS pool performance by replacing my two mirrored SATA Intel S3700 SSD's as SLOG/ZIL devices with a pair of NVME Optane devices, as wellas pop in an 1TB NVME drive to replace my two SATA Samsung 850 Pro's that.

It came configured with 1 of the M.2 SSDs as the boot SSD, but since there is no hardware RAID there is no way to use more than 1 SSD for the OS. As I mentioned above I don't believe it will work in most systems. I'll test it in a non Dell motherboard to see if it works, posts, and detects more than 1 M.2 Slot.

Quad Nvme Adapter
This is the first PCIe adapter I can find that has a switch for allowing dual NVMe M.2 drives. Not that long ago Anandtech, TPU and other articles mentioned some new cheaper switch chips coming to market. This SYBA card uses an ASMedia switch that was mentioned (article link below):SYBA SI-PEX40129.ASMedia switch article:.This isn't probably note worthy to those with newer boards because quad adapters exist now from ASUS, ASRock & Gigabyte and probably others. But those require PCIe lane bifurcation. Meaning that an x16 slot can turn into x4/x4/x4/x4. This isn't the case on most (or all) older boards.
So cards like this and hopefully more to come will allow people to maximize their PCIe slots on their boards that don't support bufrication, especially if they went the M.2 route instead of route. Of course there are other directions you can go such as just getting an x8 AIC/HHHL SSD (most of the affordable ones are still x4 and no consumer available x16 exists).Here are the quad NVMe M.2 adapters that need bifurcation that I know of:.There were three or four other triple & quad NVMe adapters available with PLX switches but are around $400ish.Then if you check other sites including Aliexpress, you'll find a multitude of adapter cards with multiple M.2 slots, dual & quad. But keep in mind they only have one NVMe compatible slot, the others are SATA.
Remember M.2 is just a form factor; can be AHCI/SATA or NVMe/PCIe.So it's good to see more options coming out. I'm going to wait a bit to see if any more become available and see what the prices are.
But I'm looking forward to adding more drives on my older X79 boards with this form factor / adapter approach since I have single NVMe M.2s already on adapters; I can basically double that now although still pricey.I wrote this post because I didn't see any article or site mention this card yet.edit derp, wrote 'available' twice in title. Those PLX chips can't cost more than an Intel Z370 chip and complete motherboards. I suspect that this price is probably an early adopter tax combined with somebody in the supply chain doing bad math with their pricing models.I would pay $150 for a card that supports 4 NVMe drives at x4 lanes each PLX'd to x8 lanes that has a RAID 10 capable controller. I have a 7820x with an Asus Prime Deluxe motherboard, so my suggested configuration would be the best thing that I think I could possibly do with my spare x8 lanes cpu direct PCIe slot.
