About this item:
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great
Its a great little product. Easy to install, just make sure your computer support PCIe Bifurcation. I was able to install the NVME drives in the board and install the board in the computer in less time than it took me enable the PCIe Bifurcation in my Bios. Yeah, this board works great, its really fast and simple to use. Its a real bargain at this price.

This works but you cant boot from it.
4.0 out of 5 stars You need to know if your MB supports bifurcation/VTOC. this card isn't just plug in 4 m.2 and play
You need to know if your motherboard supports a 'bifurcation' function and if you can use the middle pci port if you use a graphics card in the top one. basically, it is a function in the bios that splits your assigned 16x pci express port into 4 4x segments, one for each of your m.2s in this card. Not all mbs even call it bifurcation so if you have an intel board look for VTOC which is the intel m.2 brand RAID unless you use intel ssds (from what I understand but do your own research if you need intel ssds or just an intel mb to use VTOC) dont select VTOC but the bios option should allow non VTOC splitting. I have a TUF x299 mark 1 and in the BIOS, it was under CPU and STORAGE area. it was very obscure, and it took me 4 hours to even learn about this requirement. THE CARD IS WELL MADE AND WORKS GREAT ONCE IT IS CONFIGURED PROPERLY AND I WOULD GIVE IT 4+ STARS. this is a 5gen card, but I put 4gen m.2s in it 4tb. Windows server 2019 recognized the drives. I just wish this would be mentioned in the product description before buying. Good luck, may the odds be forever in your favor
5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is FAST
It keeps my M.2 SSD cool and quick. Pulling almost 8G/second (7800) over pcie4.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome card to add capabilities to older machines
Using for UNRAID in an old Dell 730xd. 100% recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars It's working as advertised :-)
I have four PCIE5 NVMe SSD's and Bifurcation in the Asus Bios. Installing Windows 11: Rcbottom, RcRaid, then RcConfig. It does smoke! The only drawback is the switch that turns on and off the fan is too flimsly. I touched it a total of three times and it has broken. I have contacted their support. ... Dec 13th I have not received a reply. Requesting a refund. :-(
4.0 out of 5 stars Card works fine, but be aware, VMWARE will not recognize the RAID, it will see the separate drives.
I went into the motherboard BIOS, created a RAID-1 array with two 2TB NVME drives but when installing VMWARE, VMWARE did not recognize the RAID-1 array, rather it recognized the two individual 2TB NVME drives. I will be purchasing another non softraid card that will work in VMWARE.
1.0 out of 5 stars Minimal use case
Card works okay for what it is. Does need bifurcation for it to work. I thought I would have a use case for this but I was wrong. I lost the packaging so I'm stuck with this oddball card that I can't really do anything with.
Future proofing system
Of course this is like the previous generation cards that require PCIe bifurcation on the slot it’s put into.A lot of consumer motherboards these days do 1x8/2x4 in the first/second slot respectively. This means this device can be useful to optimize IO with limited PCIe slots and lanes while still having a graphics card in the first slot.In my case I have a B550 board with only one usable NVMe slot due to having a peripheral on my 3rd PCIe slot. Having this card allows me to make use of the unused second slot to add an additional 2 NVMe drives at full speed.This is nothing special and now there are many cards that do this but what I like about this card is that it is the only one I’ve found so far that supports Gen 5 speeds making it a long term purchase.It is packaged with a few goodies, including extra mounting screws and also foam spacers for single sided drives to get adequate pressure against the front side thermal pads.Another goodie which is very cool (literally) is a connector to motherboard fan headers which would allow software control of the fan speed. Personally I don’t use the fan at all since I’m only using two PCIe 4.0 drives which don’t get that hot compared to 5.0 drives.Finally, I was surprised to see a 6-pin PCIe power header on this board. My two drives seem to work fine without this plugged in but I can see it providing extra power if there were 4x Gen 5 drives running at full power.All in all, I’m happy with this purchase as it should hopefully come useful for a long time so long as I intend to upgrade to PCIe 5.0 components some day.
Fits well with my b650x ax gigabyte and amd rygen 9 7900
The media could not be loaded. Fits well with my b650x ax gigabyte and amd rygen 9 7900 , birufication is needed to run it , I am using 4 samsung evo 990Looks premium
Only way to add 4 M.2 drives but…
Well, if you need to add 4 M.2 drives to your PC, this is just about the only way but… it has an ANNOYING fan and has no temperature sensors so it will simply spin for no reason no matter what you do with the POS Armory Crate that Asus makes.I found a 3rd party fan controller and have permanently set it to 30% fan and it’s decently quiet. Have yet to see drives throttle (have 4x4tb gen 5 SSDs inside) so it’s an inelegant solution.It DOES have a tiny switch at the back that can turn the fan off/on which you can do if it really peeves you - or if you choose alternate cooling methods.
