I have several Asrock ROMED8-2T EPYC Milan based systems, and wish to add 4x Samsung PM9A3 Gen4 U.2 SSDs to them.
The boards have 2x 4-lane Oculink connectors, which will work fine for two of the drives using Oculink SFF-8611 to U.2 SFF-8639 cables.
How about connecting the other two at Gen4 speeds?
Are there any passive PCIe cards which break out a 8x/16x slot into 2/4 Oculink connectors using bifurcation, which are compatible with Gen4 drives and speeds?
Would using something like this: HYPER M.2 X16 GEN 4 CARD|Motherboards|ASUS Global
...with two of these: Delock Produkte 62984 M.2 Key M zu U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe Adapter mit 50 cm Kabel
...work at Gen4?
