Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a motherboard that supports bifurcation for this card to work?
Yes. This is a bifurcation card that splits an X8 slot into two X4 channels, so the host BIOS must support PCIe bifurcation for both NVMe drives to be detected.
How many NVMe SSDs can the Bloepum card hold at once?
Two. The card provides two X4 full-channel, full-speed slots for NVMe SSD and M.2 PCI-E interface devices, each on its own dedicated lane.
Can I install this in a PCI-E X16 graphics slot?
Yes. The card supports both PCI-E X8 and X16 motherboard slots, so it can seat in an X16 slot as well as a native X8 one.
Does the card support PCIe 4.0 drives?
Yes. It supports both PCI-E 3.0 and PCI-E 4.0 standard transmission speeds, covering current-generation NVMe SSDs and older drives alike.
Will both drives run at full speed, or do they share bandwidth?
Each drive runs on its own dedicated X4 full-channel link rather than sharing bandwidth, so two drives can operate at full speed simultaneously.
