Sabrent
Sabrent 4-Drive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x16 Adapter Card with Active Cooling [EC-P4BF]
Adds up to four NVMe SSDs via a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with aluminium cooling and an optional fan
- Type4-in-1
- Supports up to four NVMe SSDs via a single x16 PCIe slot
- PCIe 4.0 speeds with backward compatibility to 3.0 and 2.0 systems
- Aluminium construction with thermal pads and optional fan cooling prevents throttling
- Accepts M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 drives for flexible capacity choices
- Driverless plug-and-play with rear LEDs for instant drive-status visibility
Four NVMe drives in one x16 slot
This Sabrent adapter lets a desktop add up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs through a single physical PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M-key drives and works at up to PCIe 4.0 speeds while remaining compatible with 3.0 and 2.0 systems. The card is plug-and-play with driverless operation and rear-mounted LEDs show each drive’s status.
Replaces multiple single-drive add-in cards
Instead of occupying several x4 or x8 slots with individual adapters, this card consolidates four drives into one x16 slot. The jump is worthwhile when the host platform supports PCIe bifurcation so that all 16 lanes can be split for three or four SSDs. Without bifurcation the card will still function but only the first drive will be accessible.
Aluminium heatsink with optional active fan
An aluminium body and included thermal pads provide passive cooling for all four SSDs, while a rear-mounted switch enables the built-in fan for sustained high-performance workloads. This headroom keeps drives from throttling during heavy I/O. Systems lacking bifurcation support or cases without a full-size x16 slot cannot use the card’s full four-drive capacity.

Questions about this item
What size PCIe slot does the Sabrent EC-P4BF need to fit?
The adapter requires a physical x16 PCIe slot on the motherboard.
Which step do builders often miss when installing four NVMe SSDs on this card?
The motherboard must support PCIe bifurcation to split the 16 lanes for multiple drives.
What cooling maintenance does the active fan on this adapter require?
The switchable fan should be kept clear of dust to maintain airflow over the aluminum heatsink and thermal pads.
