A PCI-E 4-way M.2 NVMe SSD carrier, where all the SSDs are addressable in JBOD mode.

Looks like it's using the ASM2824 PLX chip, which likely means 4x to each drive but only 8x to each host (effectively 2x per drive) - but also means no need for bifurcation support.

Wonder how it would compare cost-wise with a DIY solution of an x16 quad-M.2 carrier card and a four-pack of something like WD Black SN750?

Anybody fitted 2x Ultra Speed drive quads in a 5810 workstation and does it work? I have one fitted already with 4x 512Gb NVMe's (so it has the bios/mb support) but I need to increase the storage....
