## Overview

The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 Card is a cutting-edge PCIe 5.0 expansion card designed for professionals demanding extreme storage performance. Supporting up to four NVMe M.2 SSDs with a combined bandwidth of 512 Gbps, it features robust thermal solutions and cross-platform RAID capabilities, ensuring blazing-fast, reliable, and scalable storage for AMD and Intel systems.

## Description

ASUS HYPER M.2 X16 GEN5 CARD can support up to 4*M.2 NVME SSD devices, for both AMD and Intel® platform RAID functions. With PCIe Gen5 speed, providing up to 128GT/s bandwidth per M.2 slot, Maximum speed with 4 slots can reach up to 512GT/s total. Designed with an extraordinary thermal heatsink, and active blower-style fan, it can hold the heat from the latest M.2 NVME devices, and ease temperature-induced throttling that can affect performance during heavy, sustained storage loads.

Review: Fast. Boots fast. Reads/writes fast. - This is well made and works very well. Faultless / flawless so far. Do use the various heat management apparatus to keep your NVME in temperature range (they slow down if they get hot). Takes a PCIE3 or better slot, bifurcated 4x4x4x4 (may have to specifically/manually set from BIOS screen.)
Review: Works fine even on PCIe 3.0 bus, as long as it supports bifurcation - Not currently able to test maximum throughput as I've put this in a PCIe 3.0 slot on a superMicro motherboard. Setup 4x4x4x4x bifurcation and all 4 slots recognized and working. Heatsink setup is substantial, though probably overkill for my use given the airflow and machine-room location -- likewise have not powered the fan in quite room, so cannot judge the sound from it. Overall construction is very solid. It is also a very large card, so be sure you have the space for it!

## Features

- Adapted server-grade PCB supports up to four PCIe 5.0/4.0 M.2 drives, with up to 512 Gbps bandwidth for smooth data transfers
- 1 x 6-pin PCIe Power connector and Two-phase power solution up to 14-watt output support the latest NVMe drives
- Large heatsink, top and bottom thermal pad, and active fan reduces M.2 SSD temperatures for unthrottled transfer speeds and enhanced reliability, extra fan cable support fan control from MB chassis fan header
- Support Raid functions across different platforms to create a bootable RAID array with up to four M.2 SSDs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast. Boots fast. Reads/writes fast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great design, but with some notable requirements to fully utilize all 4 slots.
*by Z***N on November 20, 2025*

These cards (all brands and types), cannot use all 4 lanes on any gaming system, unless you use the primary video card PCIe 16x slot. Otherwise, the most you will probably get is 2 drives. There weren't even posts to install the 3rd or 4th slot, despite thermal strips being available. The only method of full utilization is with a Threadripper motherboard and accompanying processor as it has enough lanes for each PCIe slot to fully utilize 4 drives. Buyers after normal gaming rigs, should not bother, unless they want a limited experience.
