Vszerda Dual M.2 NVMe PCIe Adapter Low Profile Bracket

SKU CH-NCNR-3Q5G5

Adds two M.2 NVMe SSDs (2230 to 22110) to a PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot via ASM2812 chipset without motherboard bifurcation, includes low-profile bracket

  • ASMedia ASM2812 chipset enables dual NVMe without motherboard bifurcation
  • Each SSD uses dedicated PCIe 3.1 x4 lanes for non-interfering performance
  • Supports M.2 NVMe drives 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230 lengths
  • Includes low-profile bracket for small-form-factor and server installations
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1 and JBOD via OS or third-party software

Dual M.2 NVMe PCIe Adapter

This adapter installs two M-key NVMe SSDs into a single PCIe 3.1 x8 or x16 slot. It uses an ASMedia ASM2812 chipset so each drive receives its own x4 lane without requiring motherboard bifurcation support. Compatible lengths are 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110. Builders needing SATA or AHCI M.2 drives cannot use this card.

Thermals noise and power

The board has no active cooling, so airflow from the case must pass over the installed SSDs. Each drive draws power directly from the PCIe slot within the 3.0 specification limits. Noise is limited to the system fans already present in the chassis. No external power connectors are required.

Build quality and connectors

A full-height bracket is fitted and a low-profile half-height bracket is included for small-form-factor cases. Adjustable standoffs and multiple mounting holes secure the supported SSD lengths. Two M-key sockets sit side by side on the PCB. Software RAID 0, 1 and JBOD can be configured through the operating system or third-party tools.

Questions about this item

How do I install this adapter and which step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCIe x8 or x16 slot, secure the SSDs with the adjustable standoffs for 30, 42, 60, 80 or 110 mm lengths, then attach the low-profile bracket if the case needs it; the step often missed is checking that the motherboard BIOS supports booting from NVMe.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter need later?

The ASM2812 chipset is passive and has no moving parts, so the adapter itself requires no scheduled maintenance; only the installed NVMe SSDs may eventually need replacement.

What limit appears first under sustained use?

Each SSD runs on a dedicated PCIe 3.1 x4 link, so the first limit under sustained use is the 3.5 GB/s read or 3.2 GB/s write ceiling of a single drive.
