Your best bet to get four PCIe M.2 drives on those sixteen PCIe lanes would be to get two of these 8x cards that don't require bifurcation https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081SJYCTL and put them in the PCIe slots that, when populated, are 8x slots. On your motherboard this would be PCIe slots 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. **Q: Does it have its own hardware raid or is it dependant on mb/software?** A: the disks showed up as independent volumes in Windows and I used software raid. It does not come with a raid controller. **Q: Will this still disable my sata ports?** A: No **Q: This work with linux?** A: I'm using it in an Ubuntu 18 server right now. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Has been a fast, solid performer in service *by on Reviewed in the United States February 10, 2026* Very solid performance!System: PCIe3.0x16slot "bifurcated" Intel VROC RAID 0(Lenovo ThinkStation P720; dual Intel Xeon 8160CPU, 338GB DDR4);RAID 0 setup via BIOS Intel VROC RAID.ASUS "HBA" filled with 4 @ 2T Samsung 990PRO NVMeData x-fers via USB3.2gen2 USB drives are "fire and forget"... internal x-fers to RAID 10 also good, reliable data rates ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great expansion card x16 *by on Reviewed in the United States April 1, 2023* Be sure to have a x16 Pcie slot. I put mine in an x8 Pcie slot and chose 4x4 in my bios. I was able to see the drives and download to them. Once I started running software i started crashing. I noticed I had put the card in an x8 slot instead of x16. Once I moved the card to the proper slot and chose 4x4x4x4 on the Pcie bios option everything has been running fast and stable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very large PCIe card - might not fit in your chassis *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2023* This ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Gen4 card (p/n 90MC08A0-M0AAY0) is large enough that it physically won't fit in a Dell Precision 7960 tower PC, even if the card's heat sink assembly is removed. The card will slot-in okay, but then you won't be able to close the Dell chassis cover. So, be sure to measure before ordering.Update: the chassis size warning stands in general - but as regards the Dell Precision 7960 tower specifically, turns out that there's a plastic bracket (GFX Holder, I think it's called) that can be gently slid out of the chassis cover to make more room - thereby allowing the ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Gen4 card to fit, even with the card's heat sink.System integration notes: with the physical fit issue out of the way, the ASUS card so far has been working for me in the Dell Precision 7960 running Windows 11, with the ASUS card in an x16 slot, and populated with two 2TB Samsung Pro 980 NVMe SSDs.In this Dell Precision 7960 system, the Intel Volume Management Device RAID BIOS setting causes problems for the Samsung Magician application v7.3.0: Magician is blocked from displaying individual SSD characteristics such as firmware version.Setting the BIOS to use AHCI mode might help with that, but then that incurs a need to re-install the operating system - probably a last resort.Being unable to see the individual drive firmware versions may be important: 3xx firmware versions reportedly were failure-prone. If you see a 3xx drive firmware version, you'll want to update to version 5B2QGXA7 or later.For my Samsung 980 Pro SSD purchases within the past year, I've only seen firmware version 5B2QGXA7 - perhaps you'll be similarly fortunate.Second update: well, the ASUS adapter used to work in this Dell Precision 7960 workstation, but it doesn't now.Details:A Dell BIOS firmware update to version 1.1.10 caused the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen4 card and its SSD storage to vanish from Windows 11's sight.Much thrashing around ensued to try to make it work again, thus-far unsuccessful.Changing the BIOS Storage SATA/NVMe Operation mode from "RAID On" to ACHI/NVMe - which incurred a need to re-install the Windows 11 OS - didn't work.One-time booting the workstation on Knoppix 9.1 from a thumb drive confirmed to me that it's not a Windows 11 driver issue - it's a BIOS issue, because the M.2 storage was also unavailable to Knoppix. No recognizable indication of the ASUS adapter in the output of 'lshw', 'dmidecode', or 'lspci'.At last check, ASUS did not offer a firmware update for the M.2 storage controller. ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 (PCIe 4.0/3.0) Supports 4X M.2 NVMe Devices (2242/2260/2280/22110) Up to 256Gbps for AMD TRX40 / X570 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Raid and Intel® Platform - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
