ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2 PCI Express 3.0 M.2 Expansion Card (4x M.2 NVMe)

The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2 is an expansion card for high-density NVMe storage. It fits into a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and provides four dedicated slots for high-speed SSDs. The card supports a maximum data transfer rate of 128 Gbit/s by utilising the full bandwidth of the host interface. Users can aggregate multiple drives to increase throughput in demanding workstation environments, with direct communication between the storage media and the processor managed via the PCIe lanes. The card is intended for creators and workstation users who need to expand their internal storage capacity.

Measuring 202 mm × 13 mm × 96 mm, the card fits within standard expansion card clearances. It supports RAID configurations through Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) and AMD Ryzen Threadripper platforms. To address all four M.2 slots individually, the motherboard BIOS must support PCIe bifurcation. This setup allows for dense drive arrays to be managed through a single PCIe connection, without the need for external enclosures. An upgraded power circuit ensures voltage stability for high-performance SSD configurations.

• M-key connector design: provides four individual sockets for NVMe solid-state drives.
• Upgraded power delivery: ensures stable operation for multiple high-performance storage modules.
• PCIe x16 host interface: uses sixteen lanes to facilitate direct storage communication with the CPU.
• Internal mounting: installs directly into the motherboard for a secure solution without external cabling.
• Single-slot form factor: fits alongside other expansion cards in multi-card desktop builds.
• Integrated active cooling: features an onboard fan and shroud to manage thermal levels across all installed drives.
