Does what it says on the tin - expect shipping damage

Does exactly what it says on the tin If your board has BIOS settings for PCI-E fanout, you'll get two PCI-E x4 NVMe drives -Speed for the price of only one slot. Otherwise you will only get the first one. My board has bifurcation settings so this worked fine for me. As others have said the board comes completely disassembled which is a real time saver. However, all of the individual parts, including the heavy, sharp-edged heatsink, practically float freely in the box. I was expecting this to result in damage in transit and with the 2/4 cards I ordered (originally two, then replace one damaged card, then replace that replacement) this was the case. In the case of the TwoOne card, the chips detached completely from the holder. And one was partially disabled. I take a partially disconnected one to the shop to resolder or replace a small fuse. Still in the process of sending back DoA boards. It's a shame that such a good (and apparently hard to find) piece of tech is so poorly packaged. The only board I have works great. Aggravating.

Pros
