## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to use two of these on a trx40 master or trx40 extreme? my goal is to run two of these with 2 gpus**
A: You have 2 choices: 1) put your GPU's in the X16 slots and put these in the X8 slots. This will only let you put 2 NVMe drives in each adapter. or 2) put your GPU's in the X8 slots (which will reduce the throughput of the GPU's) and then put these in the X16 slots. This will allow installing 4 NVMe drives in each adapter. Remember, you have to change the bifurcation in the bios either way. Don't leave it auto as it doesn't always automatically detect correctly. 

I currently run 1 of these in an X16 slot (2 raid 1's) have a gen 3 in an X16 slot (2 raid 1's) another gen 3 in an X8 slot (raid 0) an have my GPU in and X8 slot hooked up to 3 4k monitors.

**Q: How to install raid 0 with 3 m.2 ssd’s?**
A: Gigabyte does not provide manual to tell how to setup raid with this card. By trial and error, I successfully setup raid-0 and raid-1 with two M2 SSDs. Now I am using two HP EX950 1TB with a raid-0 setup in this AIC adaptor, and they work smoothly. My method (for Windows 10 platform) is - 
(1) install the M2 SSDs to this adaptor ==> install "Aorus Storage Manager" software;
(2) Go to Windows Disk Management ==> right click the mouse to select either "New Spanned Volume", "New Striped Volume", "New Raid-5 Volume" or "New Mirrored Volume".
(3) then format the newly created volume ==> finish.

**Q: I have 2 m.2 slots on my motherboard.  Is it possible to use two m.2 nvme on board and 2 on card to make a Raid 10 setup?**
A: Yes - the hardware is able to expose all 4 of your drives as raw drives.  You can use software raid to configure things like raid 10 - but raid 5 might provide better performance.

**Q: Is this backwards compatible with pcie gen 3.0 x16? i.e. can i put this in a 3.0 pcie slot rather than a 4.0 slot?**
A: I used it in a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot.  I suppose it is compatible with PCIe 3.0 slot.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great card, great quality, utility limited by current boards on the market though
  

*by T***1 on Reviewed in the United States on 11 August 2023*

The card does what it's meant to do and does it well... performance and cooling are both fantastic, throughput is excellent... all around great product with one substantial limitation that's really more of a fault with the chipsets/chips available than the card itself. In order to run all four channels on this card and actually use four nvme drives with it, it has to plugged in a full pci-e x16 slot with all 16 pci-e lanes... a physical pci-e x16 slot running x4 or x8 lanes will not only allow you to use one or two of the nvme ports on the card. Given that there are, to my knowledge, zero consumer motherboards available with two full pci-e 4.0 x16 slots running all 16 pci-e channels, you're essentially forced to choose between video card performance or drives. So, that all having been said, unless you're getting this to use on something like a Threaripper build with two full 16 lane pci-e 16x slots, you'll have to give up either video card performance or drive capacity.Ultimately, I returned the card and bought a motherboard with four on-board nvme slots to meet my needs without sacrificing video card performance but this would be a great product for builds, like x399 Threadripper systems, that support dual full bandwidth x16 slots so still giving it 4 stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This PCIe 4.0 M.2 adapter board worked fine in a Lenovo P620 workstation
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in Canada on 25 October 2021*

The board was loaded up with one Samsung 2-TB 980 Pro solid-state drive module.  Installation went easily, despite the the very terse instructions.  The board has worked fine in an AMD Threadripper Pro based Lenovo P620 workstation.  Note that this board is not officially qualified by Lenovo for use in the P620.  I have not tried loading more thant the one M.2 drive so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    can not support all 4 SSD as advertised
