Description

StarTech QUAD-M2-PCIE-CARD-B Quad M.2 PCIe Adapter Card

Overview

The StarTech QUAD-M2-PCIE-CARD-B is a PCIe expansion card designed to add four M.2 NVMe SSD slots to a system, significantly boosting storage capacity and performance. It connects via a single PCI Express x16 slot, enabling high-speed data transfer rates of up to 7.8GBps per drive, making it suitable for demanding applications like video editing, large dataset analysis, or high-throughput surveillance NVR/DVR systems where rapid access to recorded footage is critical. The card supports multiple M.2 drive lengths, offering flexibility in drive selection.

Compatibility

This adapter card is compatible with any motherboard featuring a full-length PCI Express x16 slot. It supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in the following form factors: 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110. The card leverages the PCI Express 4.0 standard for maximum throughput, but is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, albeit at reduced speeds. Ensure your operating system and motherboard BIOS support NVMe boot if you intend to use this card for system drive installation.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range for this card is -40°C to 80°C, with a storage temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It requires a standard PCI Express x16 slot. No additional power connection is required, as it draws power directly from the PCIe slot. Ensure adequate airflow within the chassis, especially when using multiple high-performance NVMe drives, to prevent thermal throttling.
