PCI Express x16 karta DeLOCK 90050

This PCI Express x16 card by DELOCK expands a PC with four internal M.2 NVMe slots, supporting M.2 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 form factors. The card includes a large heat sink and an active fan to provide cooling for installed M.2 SSDs. Note: the motherboard must support PCIe bifurcation to split the PCIe lanes across multiple M.2 ports.

Advantages

The card supports up to four NVMe M.2 drives over a single PCIe x16 slot, offers active and passive cooling via a dedicated fan and a large heat sink, and is compatible with common host interfaces and operating systems. Its compact dimensions allow installation in standard desktop systems while providing thermal management for high-performance storage modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the card into a free PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard. Secure the M.2 SSDs into the respective slots using the appropriate standoffs or screws for their form factor (2280/2260/2242/2230). Connect any required power or fan headers if applicable and ensure the fan can receive power from the system. Configure the motherboard BIOS/UEFI to enable PCIe bifurcation so the PCIe lanes are split across the multiple M.2 ports. After installation, verify drive detection in the operating system and install drivers or configure RAID/software arrays as needed.

Recommendations

Ensure your motherboard supports PCIe bifurcation before purchase. For optimal thermal performance, maintain adequate case airflow in addition to the card's heat sink and fan. Use compatible M.2 NVMe drives and update the system BIOS/UEFI to the latest version if M.2 drives are not detected.
