ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Gen 4 Card - PCIe 4.0, 4x NVMe, 256Gbps
The ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 Gen 4 Card is an expansion adapter for high-end workstations and servers that need to add four NVMe SSDs to a single PCIe slot. It solves storage bottlenecks by delivering up to 256 Gbps of bandwidth across all four drives, with active cooling to prevent thermal throttling under sustained load.
Why this product
Four M.2 slots in one card
Supports 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors, all running simultaneously on a single x16 PCIe interface.
256 Gbps total bandwidth
PCIe 4.0 x16 interface delivers 8× the bandwidth of a single PCIe 3.0 drive, enabling parallel high-speed transfers across all four slots.
Active cooling keeps drives cool
Integrated blower-style fan and large heatsink prevent throttling during sustained transfers, with a power switch to control the fan independently.
14W power per drive
Two-phase power supply ensures the latest high-performance NVMe drives receive stable power without voltage sag.
RAID on CPU support
Works with Intel X299, Z390, Z370 platforms and AMD TRX40/X570 motherboards to build bootable RAID arrays using unused PCIe lanes.

- AMD TRX40 and X570 motherboards with PCIe 4.0 support for full 256 Gbps bandwidth and native RAID support.
- Intel X299, Z390, Z370 and newer platforms with RAID-on-CPU function and bifurcation support.
- Any motherboard with PCIe x16 or x8 slot that supports bifurcation in BIOS, though RAID features require Intel or AMD platform support.
- M.2 NVMe drives only (PCIe M-key); does not support SATA M.2 or U.2 form factors.
- Bootable RAID on Intel requires Core i7-78XX or i9-79XX series CPUs, and Intel VROC with Intel SSDs for full validation.
Best for
- Multi-drive NVMe RAID arrays
- Professional workstations needing 4+ TB of fast SSD storage in a single slot
- Server and storage appliance builds with PCIe 4.0 motherboards
- Users with high-end CPUs that have spare PCIe lanes to allocate to storage
Trade-offs
- Single-drive expansion needs; a direct M.2 slot on the motherboard is simpler and faster.
- Budget or consumer-grade motherboards without PCIe 4.0 or bifurcation support.
- Systems using SATA SSDs or older AHCI drives; this card supports NVMe only.
- Passive cooling environments; the active fan requires a motherboard fan header and draws power.
ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card (PCIe 4.0/3.0) supports four NVMe M.2 (2242/2260/2280/22110) devices up to 256 Gbps for AMD TRX40/X570 PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID and Intel® platform RAID-on-CPU functions.
Two-phase power solution with up to 14-watt output supports the latest NVMe drives. Large heatsink and active fan reduces M.2 SSD temperatures for unthrottled transfer speeds and enhanced reliability. Adapted server-grade PCB supports up to four PCIe 4.0/3.0 M.2 drives, with up to 256 Gbps bandwidth for smooth data transfers. Compatible with AMD TRX40/X570 PCIe 4.0 for NVMe RAID and supports Intel® platform RAID-on-CPU functions. Also support other vendors' motherboards via PCIe bifurcation in BIOS setting.
RAID on CPU
The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card is compatible with the Intel® X299, Z390, Z370 and future platforms' RAID-on-CPU function, and supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID on the AMD TRX40 and X570 platforms. Unused CPU PCle lanes can be assigned to storage, allowing you to create a bootable RAID array with up to four M.2 SSDs*.
One card, 8X the bandwidth
The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card uses PCIe 4.0, which doubles the bandwidth per lane compared to PCIe 3.0. With four M.2 slots, it offers up to 256 Gbps of bandwidth per card, 8X the bandwidth of a single PCIe 3.0 drive.
Design for unthrottled transfer speed
The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card has four M.2 slots — supporting both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 — that allow you to expand your system with high-performance SSD storage. Designed for the latest generation of NVMe drives, the card features an upgraded power supply that provides up to 14W of power per drive, as well as a large heatsink and active fan to ensure that drives stay cool for optimum performance.
*Supported only by Intel's Core i7-78XX and i9-79XX Series CPUs. **To create a bootable RAID, Intel VROC requires use of Intel SSDs.
