Wiwynn AVA-M Quad Slots M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 3.0 x16 Carrier Card (Supports 2280/22110mm (x4)) B48.01201.0011 16335-1

B48.01201.0011 | PCB 16335-1 | Supports 4x M.2 NVMe SSDs (2280/22110)

The Wiwynn AVA-M Quad M.2 NVMe Carrier Card is a high-performance enterprise-grade PCIe storage expansion adapter designed for hyperscale cloud, data center, workstation, and server environments. This Full-Height Half-Length (FHHL) carrier card supports up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs simultaneously and connects directly through a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, providing dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth to each installed drive for maximum storage performance.

Originally developed by Wiwynn, a leading Open Compute Project (OCP) manufacturing partner, the AVA-M carrier card is commonly deployed in hyperscale cloud infrastructures, enterprise servers, and high-performance workstation environments where high-density NVMe storage and efficient scalability are required.

PCIe Bifurcation Required

This carrier card is a passive adapter and requires motherboard support for PCIe lane bifurcation.

Required BIOS Setting:

• PCIe Bifurcation: x4/x4/x4/x4

Expected Behavior

If x4/x4/x4/x4 Bifurcation is Enabled

• All four NVMe SSDs are detected
• Full performance available on all drives

If x8/x8 Bifurcation is Used

• Typically only two SSDs are detected

If Bifurcation Support Is Unavailable

• Only one SSD may be detected
• Remaining drives will not be visible to the operating system
