Quad NVMe PCIe Adapter, RIITOP 4-Port NVMe to PCI-e 4.0/3.0 x16 Expand Controller Card with Heatsink for 2280/2260/2242/2230 M.2 NVMe SSD (PCI-e Bifurcation Required)

Works as intended

There are no directions with this thing. Not super hard to figure out but there is a larger case screw and what would be a mobo stand off that I can't see why I would use, I think they also make one of these with a fan, maybe they just include the same screws with them all. If you are using full size 2280 drive then the standoffs are built into the PCB however if your using smaller ones they are not. I want to explain this cause I saw some ppl complain that it was unclear. In the bag you get 4 normal size screws which are used to hold the heatsink on and then 8 smaller screws which are used to hold the nvme drive down. Now if you're wondering why 8 screws when only 4 nvme drives that's where the 4 little silver stand offs come in. The standoffs have a flat side and a concave side. If you're using any other size other than 2280 then put the concave side down on the PCB and put one of those little screws in through the back to hold it to the card. Then put ur nvme drive in and put another small screen through the top to hold the drive down. Hope that helps. Also I need bifurcation support on ur mobo, if you don't have it will not work. Do ur research not the products fault.

Working in Dell R630. This is WIn10 screen cap, works in Linux also. I only tested this for storage notOS/BOOT drive. I cant find it anywhere in the BIOS to set it up as RAID, i had to boot Linux from flash card after i loaded it on there.I used 4 of the cheapest drives i could find so that speed is right about on par for Windows R-0There is probably a correct way to set this up, like pointing to the UEFI boot loader but i just bought this 630 yesterday and don't know anything about it yet.

Sleek, heavy duty heat plate, has a fan plug *fan not included**if so I'd be a small one "with plate on that is"

no call to tech support needed, did what is supposed to do

Was able to RAID these no problem. Initial run with card after bios changes wasn’t too happy. After a reboot, no issues on a B550 board in the PCIE_1 slot.

so i verify that my x570 tuf pro motherboard can handle in pcie_1 can potentially handle 4(x4x4x4x4) however im using a 5600g so it only handles 3(8x4x4x) if your motherboard isn't seeing more than one then you must your your pcie_1 slot more than likely.so it works on my computer but the heat sink doesn't come with enough standoffs to properly mount the metal block. these standoffs are unique as i own a small tech repair place and cannot find another in my bucket of screws. I have no idea how your supposed to attach the included offs for different size drives (maybe soildering) spent 2 hours going through screws find some that will actually work. just include 4 of those stand offs and some rubber mounting for nvme of different sizes. I tried a second drive in it (slot 2) and set it to nvme raid and it didn't show im so irritated im sending it back not even gonna look for drivers or verify my settings are correct. imma just call this china toffu tech

My ASUS B550-PLUS supports bifurcation. Could not get the system to recognize anything with this card.
