Sabrent Unveils Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card With Active Cooling

wccftech.com:

In modern times, having enough storage is a desire no one can fulfill. However, Sabrent has your back as it introduces its latest Quad NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Card.

This card adds 4 NVMe SSD with a single, physical x16 PCIe slot adapter. In terms of compatibility, the card will feature support for M.2 M key SSDs only and will feature PCIe 4.0 speeds on both newer and older generation SSDs. It supports M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors, offering an extensive list of options and being more user-friendly. Furthermore, the card provides backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0, so you shouldn't worry if your SSD supports slower speeds since the card is still compatible.

You can also access individual SSDs through the adapter support for RAID with software such as Intel VROC and AMD Ryzen NVMe RAID.

This will help you know existing storage space, SSD health, and performance without going through every drive, as the software does that for you. It is important to note that PCIe bifurcation must be enabled through your BIOS to access all four drives simultaneously. You must have a PCIe slot x16 in physical length to install the adapter.

With 4 NVMe drives at a time, it is evident that consumers may face overheating issues. However, Sabrent has also provided an effective cooling solution to prevent this problem. Firstly, the card has an aluminum exterior, allowing better heat dissipation.

The card has pre-applied thermal pads for each NVME slot to contribute to the cooling. Secondly, the card features an option for fan cooling, which users could utilize via a rear-positioned switch. With these features, Sabrent aims to prevent thermal throttling in your drives, allowing a much smoother experience.
