ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card in a Dell R730

[Dan Langille]

Hello,

I'm considering buying 2x ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Cards for use in my Dell R730.

I see several posts about using it within a Dell R730xd, but not in a Dell R730 specifically. I have already checked my BIOS and slots 4 and 6 can take a x4x4x4x4 bifurcation.

Before I make the purchase I wanted to check and see if any of you are already using that card in a Dell R730.

Thank you.

I have not done anything with the devices yet. Time. I need more time.
