Vszerda Dual NVMe PCIe 3.1 x8 Adapter ASM2812

SKU CH-BHK8-EQ6T5

Adds two M-key NVMe SSDs through one PCIe 3.1 x8 slot using an ASM2812 controller that does not require motherboard bifurcation

  • Add two NVMe drives using one PCIe x8 slot
  • ASM2812 chipset works without motherboard bifurcation
  • Each drive gets a dedicated PCIe 3.1 x4 link
  • Supports M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 sizes
  • Compatible with PCIe 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0 motherboards

Dual NVMe PCIe 3.1 x8 Adapter

This adapter adds two M.2 NVMe SSDs to a desktop through one PCIe 3.1 x8 or x16 slot. It is aimed at builders who want extra fast storage without using multiple motherboard slots.

ASMedia ASM2812 chipset without bifurcation

The ASM2812 controller gives each drive its own PCIe 3.1 x4 link so neither depends on motherboard bifurcation support. Final throughput still depends on the SSD and the platform's PCIe generation.

Fits M-key NVMe drives 2230 to 22110

Suits users with M-key NVMe modules in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 form factors and a free x8 or x16 slot. Not for SATA-based B-key or B+M-key drives, AHCI NVMe, or systems that cannot boot from NVMe.

Highlights

  • Add two NVMe drives using one PCIe x8 slot

  • Each drive gets a dedicated PCIe 3.1 x4 link
  • Supports M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 sizes
  • Compatible with PCIe 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0 motherboards

Questions about this item

What does the PCIe 3.1 x8 link actually deliver for each NVMe drive installed?

Each M.2 NVMe SSD gets its own PCIe 3.1 x4 lane group through the ASM2812 chipset, so both drives run at full x4 speed without needing motherboard bifurcation support.

Which PCIe standards does the adapter work with in practice?

The card fits any PCIe 3.0, 2.0 or 1.0 x8 or x16 slot and negotiates the highest common link speed with the motherboard.

What physical slot and SSD sizes are required for installation?

You need a free PCIe x8 or x16 slot and M-key NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 form factors; SATA or AHCI drives are not supported.
