DeLOCK PCI Express x8 Card to 2 x internal NVMe M.2 Key M Bifurcation Low Profile

This PCI Express x8 card by Delock provides two internal NVMe M.2 Key M slots, allowing installation of M.2 SSDs in sizes 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230. The card uses PCIe bifurcation to split the PCIe lanes from the motherboard so both M.2 slots can be used simultaneously and is available in a low profile form factor for compact systems.

Advantages

The card supports two NVMe M.2 Key M drives over a single PCIe x8 interface, offers compatibility with multiple M.2 lengths and comes in a low profile design suitable for small form-factor cases. It supports common desktop operating systems such as Windows and Linux and enables expansion of high-speed internal storage without requiring additional external enclosures.

How to use

Install the card into a free PCIe x8 or x16 slot on a motherboard that supports PCIe bifurcation and enable bifurcation in the BIOS according to the motherboard manual. Mount NVMe M.2 Key M SSDs into the provided M.2 slots, secure them with the appropriate standoffs or screws for the chosen M.2 length, then boot the system and verify that each drive is detected in the operating system. Install any required drivers or firmware updates if specified by the SSD or motherboard vendors.

Recommendations

Use this card in systems where the motherboard BIOS supports PCIe bifurcation; check BIOS settings and motherboard documentation before installation. For full performance, install NVMe drives and use OS-level disk management or RAID solutions supported by your platform if needed. Ensure adequate airflow in compact cases to maintain SSD thermal performance.
