A couple of reviews said it was a pretty solid card. But then again, they are using Windows.

According to your link that card requires PCIe bifurcation, which according to this thread the MP does not support.

As far as I know, this card won't work on cMP. There is no PCIe switch onboard, which means need specific motherboard type to support. And cMP's logic board is definitely not on the list.

Thanks for the info. Might be OK for a Hackintosh . . .. .

It's odd that no one seems to have come up with a PCIe 2 NVMe blade x "M type NGFF " adapter.

There are a few that offer 1 x M & 1 x B type with a SATA cable socket. . Ainex makes one.

hi sorry for if I'm late for the party but what they told you about bifurcation is true
however there are other cards out there that come with a PLX chip that doesn't requires a board with bifurcation support
because the card already comes with the chip
the downside is that those cards are a bit more expensive than the cards that doesn't come with the chip
also most of those cards are compatible with Mac OS and/or hackintosh

this is my new and latest record

https://mega.nz/#!MvRFUK5L!tc1BQgLEARu5F29c_E1g1J5t9_Do3Y9n3LxmIuwMK2c

I have 2 SSD7102 with 8 Samsung 970 Pro
each card with 4 drives
those card are bootable in Mac OS and windows and they come with the PLX chip
I have a 44 lane i9 CPU so I run both cards at 16X for maximum speed

yes I have a hackintosh

make sure to watch the video
