Setup was easy, and it instantly improved my computer's speed and storage management. The support for 4 x M.2 NVMe SSD RAID-on-CPU is excellent and compatibility with PCIe 4.0/3.0 X16 is a bonus. Especially loved how it handled large amounts of data with ease. If you need a storage management upgrade, this is a great buy. Highly recommended! ## Features - Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter: By installing 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs (Support 22110/2280/2260/2242/2230 M.2 NVMe SSD) on this PCIe 4.0 X8 adapter, your computer will be able to access 2 M.2 NVMe SSDs at the same time - Hardware Platform: Support Soft RAID in Intel/AMD platform, not support Mac Pro 5.1 (Note: To set up Intel's RAID-on-CPU (VROC), you need to purchase your license) - Set the PCIe Bifurcation mode of the corresponding PCIe slot in the BIOS, support X4X4X4X4 or X4X4X8 or Hyper M.2 X16 mode (Note: Can not support X8X4X4 mode) - Important: Because this adapter does not support PCIe Bifurcation, it requires a motherboard that supports PCIe Bifurcation. Otherwise, only the NVMe-1 port can recognize the NVMe SSD. Before purchasing, please check the PCIe expansion slot part of the motherboard manual on the motherboard manufacturer's website, or consult us directly - To reach PCIe 4.0 X4 (64Gbps) full speed, the CPU and motherboard PCIe slot and PCIe M.2 SSD should all be PCIe 4.0 features (Note: PCIe 4.0 is not supported on Intel CPUs below 11th generation) - Support OS Booting: Reinstall the OS, and set up BIOS/UEFI boot from this M.2 NVMe SSD (Note: Some motherboards are too old to support OS booting. In this case, M.2 NVMe SSDs can be used as storage disks) - OS compatibility: Plug-and-play in Windows 11/10/8/Linux/Mac OS (Note: Not support Windows 7). The new M.2 NVMe SSD needs to be initialized and formatted before it can be recognized by the computer host. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09PGDMWKH | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,655 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 2 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | GLOTRENDS | | Brand Name | GLOTRENDS | | Compatible Devices | 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD | | Compatible devices | 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 522 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | PCIE x 8 | | Hardware interface | PCIE x 8 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15L x 5.4W x 0.3H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | GLOTRENDS | | Manufacturer Part Number | PA21 | | Model Number | PA21 | | Operating System | Linux, Windows, Mac OS (unterstΓΌtzt nicht Windows 7/ Mac Pro 5.1) | | Product Warranty | 30 Day Warranty Against Manufacturer Defects | | Product dimensions | 15L x 5.4W x 0.3H centimetres | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Style | Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter without PCIe Bifurcation Function | | Style Name | Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter without PCIe Bifurcation Function | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GLOTRENDS - **Compatible devices:** 2 x M.2 NVMe SSD - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15 x 5.3 x 11.9 centimetres - **Item weight:** 0.13 Kilograms - **Specific uses for product:** M.2 NVMe SSD ## Images ![PA21 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TW1Sr0BAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with x4x4 enabled *by C***S on 20 March 2026* Works with x4x4 bifurcation enabled in the bios settings ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! *by D***V on 1 August 2023* The GLOTRENDS 4 x M.2 PCIe 4.0/3.0 X16 Adapter is a game-changer!

Reason for -1 star explained in review *by K***H on 6 May 2023* I was apprehensive about buying this card due to the number of people saying there's "missing M.2 screws" - turns out that those people are just plain dumb πŸ˜‚ the two screws in the little plastic pouch are just for mounting the card to your case. You get 3x brass grommets on the board (2 located with the M.2 slots and one on the corner of the board as a spare.) you just unscrew them from the back and the brass grommet is used to mount the M.2 drive. Reason for 4 stars, instead of 5: Overall this adapter appears to be well-made and if I had the right motherboard then I've no doubt that it would work as intended - unfortunately the instructions on this listing are poorly translated and as a result, it turns out that although my motherboard is a B450 and has Bifurcation options, it doesn't seem to have the *right kind of Bifurcation*. This means that only one of those 2 M.2 slots is recognised (M.2 Slot 1) by my motherboard. Not a big deal at the moment as my C-Drive was only a 500gb SATA-M.2 drive so I just swapped it out. Read/Write speeds of the M.2 NVME drive mounted using this adapter seem to be around the 450MB/s mark - this is obviously a lot lower than the 3500MB/s that the NVME drive is capable of but this may also just be down to my motherboard not bifurcating the PCI-E slot correctly. ## Frequently Bought Together - GLOTRENDS PA21 Dual M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X8 Adapter Without PCIe Bifurcation Function, Support 22110/2280/2260/2242/2230 Size (PCIe Bifurcation Motherboard is Required) - GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for PC/PS5/PS5 Slim Installation, 22x70x3mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad (2 Packs) - GLOTRENDS PA41 Quad M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 X16 Adapter Without PCIe Bifurcation Function, Support 22110/2280/2260/2242/2230 Size (PCIe Bifurcation Motherboard is Required) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/460379696-pa21](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/460379696-pa21) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
