• 4 × SATA 6Gbps ports
• 2 × USB-A 10Gbps ports
• 1 × USB-C 10Gbps port
• 1 × USB-C 20Gbps port
• PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface; motherboard bifurcation is not required
• 6-pin power connection required
• Card measures approximately 174 × 69 mm

Important compatibility and bandwidth notes

All connected devices share the card’s PCIe 4.0 x4 connection to the host system, so their individual interface speeds are not available simultaneously at full rate. With all four M.2 slots populated, each NVMe drive operates at up to PCIe x2; the supported lane arrangement varies by slot and configuration.

Check that your system has a suitable PCIe slot, available 6-pin power and enough physical clearance. M.2 heatsinks may have limited clearance. Compatibility and boot support can vary by motherboard and operating system, so check your platform if you intend to boot from a drive installed on the card.

This card does not provide USB Power Delivery (USB PD).
