Review on ๐Ÿ’ฅ ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 PCIe 4.0 X4 Expansion Card: Supports 4 NVMe M.2 (2242/2260/2280/22110) up to 256Gbps, Compatible with AMD 3rd Ryzen sTRX40, AM4 Socket, and Intel VROC NVMe Raid by Chris Shields

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Only supports 2 NVMES on the X570 card.

I actually have 3 x (1TB Internal Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Extreme Performance SSDs) on this card and only 2 are coming, only one was originally picked up. In BIOS under Embedded Devices Configuration disable 8X mode and set it to "Raid Mode" and the second one will appear. This is a PCIE X570 lane limitation that prevents more than two NVMEs from being accepted. With AMD Threadripper or better, I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Average 2 NVME reads: 6.4 GB/s Peak read: 10.5 GB/s Write at time of publication: 191.3 MB/s, currently 796.4 MB/s (still investigating). Specifications: CPU: AMD 3950X - 16 cores (32 threads). CPU. Motherboard: X570 Asus Hero VIII. Ultimate Edition Linux 6.6 Developer I write software. I assure you, 1.2GB doesn't matter. My AVG is at its peak right now. The programmer does that. In the last picture I added a third Sabrent Rocket from the motherboard and raided 3 x 1TB Sabrent Rockets. AVG 16.0GB/s Tried to add internal PCIE 4.0 1TB and get 13.6GB/s with 4 drives will replace internal.

Pros
  • Full Set
Cons
  • Not sure
