GLOTRENDS Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter 2‑Slot RAID Card

Description

Product Overview

The GLOTRENDS Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter provides a simple way to expand your system with two M.2 NVMe SSDs. Built for PCIe 4.0 x8 slots, it delivers up to 64 Gbps bandwidth, ensuring each drive runs at full speed. The adapter supports 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 form factors, giving you flexibility in choosing storage solutions. It weighs only 4.6 oz and measures 5.91 × 2.13 × 0.12 in, fitting easily into most desktop cases.

Usage

Ideal for high‑performance gaming rigs, video editing workstations, and data‑intensive servers, this adapter lets you configure RAID 0/1/5/10 on supported Intel/AMD platforms. After installing the SSDs, you can boot directly from them on compatible motherboards, or use them as fast secondary storage. The adapter works with Windows 10/11, Linux distributions, and macOS (excluding older versions like Windows 7 and Mac Pro 5.1).

FAQ

Do I need a motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation?

Yes, the adapter requires a motherboard with PCIe bifurcation enabled. Without it, only the first NVMe slot will be recognized.

Can I boot my operating system from the NVMe drives?

If your motherboard supports OS boot from PCIe NVMe devices, you can install the OS on the SSDs and set the boot priority in BIOS/UEFI.

Is this adapter compatible with older CPUs?

PCIe 4.0 speeds are only available on 11th‑gen Intel and newer AMD Ryzen processors. Older CPUs will still work but at reduced PCIe 3.0 speeds.

What RAID levels are supported?

Soft RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported through Intel VROC or AMD RAID software, requiring a separate license for VROC.

How do I install the SSDs?

Insert each M.2 NVMe SSD into the corresponding slot, secure with the provided screw, and ensure the PCIe slot is set to the correct bifurcation mode in BIOS.
