Feature

●Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 X4 Adapter: By installing 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs (Support 22110/2280/2260/2242/2230 M.2 NVMe SSD) on this PCIe 3.0 X4 adapter, your computer will be able to access 2 x M.2 NVMe SSDs at the same time (Note: Not support M.2 SATA SSD)
●ASM2812 Chip Built-in PCIe Bifurcation: It can work with all kinds of motherboards (Note: The PCIe slot must be allocated with PCIe X4 lane bandwidth)
●Upstream Bandwidth: 2 x M.2 NVMe SSDs sharing PCIE 3.0 X4 bandwidth (32Gbits/s = 4GB/s max), which means 2 x M.2 NVMe SSDs cannot operate at full speed at the same time.
●Hardware Platform: Support Soft RAID in Intel/AMD platform, not support Mac Pro 5.1 (Note: To set up Intels RAID-on-CPU (VROC), you need to purchase your license)
●Support OS Booting: Reinstall the OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI boot from this M.2 NVMe SSD (Note: Some motherboards are too old to support OS booting. In this case, M.2 NVMe SSDs can be used as storage disks)
●OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Not support Windows 7). The new M.2 NVMe SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host.
●Silent Heatsink ensures this adapter runs for a long time without losing performance.

Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Host Adapter with PCIe Bifurcation Function

  • Add 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD (M-Key) onto a single PCIe X4 host adapter, so you can access 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD at the same time
  • Support soft RAID in Windows/Linux/3rd party software
  • Support M.2 NVMe SSD RAID-on-CPU (VROC) in the Intel Platform, but you need to purchase an Intel VROC license by yourself
  • Support M.2 NVMe RAID in AMD Platform
  • Support Mac Pro 5.1
  • PCIe 3.0 X4 bandwidth
  • For PCIe 4.0 SSD, it will downgrade to PCIe 3.0 mode
  • Support PCIe bifurcation function
  • Support 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 form factor
  • The gap between the two NVMe slots is 3mm
  • Regular profile bracket and low profile bracket

PCIe Bifurcation (PCIe Splitter)

  • With ASM2821 PCIe Bifurcation function, PA20 can work with none PCIe Bifurcation motherboard;
  • The disadvantage is that PA20 cannot support PCIe 4.0 and only support PCIe 3.0/2.0 features;
  • The max bandwidth is PCIe 3.0 X4, which means 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD share PCIe 3.0 X4 bandwidth.

Soft RAID in Window 10

  • When you find 2 separate M.2 NVMe SSD in Disk Management of Windows 10
  • Right click the disk volume, which you want to setup soft RAID
  • A pop-up window appears, click the option (Spanned/Striped/Mirrored)
  • Noted: You can setup soft RAID in Linux/Mac/3rd party software also.
