I need NVMEThe most useful one is from StarTech.com and it is a 4x M.2 SSD to 3.5in SATA HDD Adapter. It is cheap and available from Amazon. Supports the Samsung 970 pro and earlier versions. Does not take up PCIe slots and comes with all required power and data cables. As the name implies, it fits in any 3.5in HDD Adapter.
Which one? I only found the one that did 4x SATA M2 not NVME :/The Samsung 970 pro is NVME and is M.2 and the StarTecm.com holds up to four. That's what I thought you was asking for, right?
Of course is supports sizes and brands other then Samsung.
As I said, this device https://www.amazon.com/SATA-Mounting-Adapter-3-5in-Drive/dp/B00VNVMKCG is not a NVME Device it says SATA, you state it's SATA, it clearly has SATA ports on it. This won't work for a M.2 NVME devices, which I specified as what I'm looking for.It's on Amazon as:
StarTech.com 4x M.2 SATA Mounting Adapter for 3.5in Drive Bay - Four-Drive M.2 to SATA Adapter for One 3.5” Drive Bay
I think you are saying "NVME" and meaning something else.
The device I am referring to can hold up to four M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 SSD's such as the Samsung 970 pro and evo. The
device fits inside a 3,5" drive bay instead of a M.2 2280 socket. The SSD's themselves are placed into four M.2 2280 sockets on the device itself.
Back to the original post, I don't use it for day-to-day booting and stuff, only for cloning NVME drives and suchlike, but I picked up this DeLock adapter and it works well enough for me (but as per the blurb it requires PCIe bifurcation support).Not compatible with M.2 NVMe or AHCI PCI-Express SSDs
That doesn't fit, and avoiding PLX and associated costs is greatOnly dual? I just got this guy in and will be installing it tomorrow.

That's awesome!I noticed t'other day that MSI are bundling what looks to be the Rolls Royce of (again bifurcation) 4xM2 adapters with one of their X299 motherboards, double-slot complete with a large heatsink and fan and temp sensors if that's your thing.

If you only need two m.2 sockets check the supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2:What PCIE card is everyone using to put in 2x M2 NVME sticks on?
Perfect! I think that will work in most instances.If you only need two m.2 sockets check the supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2:
-x8 pcie
-no plx chip, requires support for bifurcation
(- starts at 37€ in EU)

The ASRock card doesn't have a PLX chip (that I know of), I'm using bifurcation on my board with it.That doesn't fit, and avoiding PLX and associated costs is great
I also have this AOC-SLG-2M2 with 2 Optane 900p's attached. Works great and I got it for $50 on Amazon. Came with both low profile and standard height bracket.If you only need two m.2 sockets check the supermicro AOC-SLG3-2M2:

You mean on the component and on the solder side?Does anyone make a 4x with PLX that's double sided instead of double-height?
It would appear some companies don't care ???You mean on the component and on the solder side?
This would be against the spcification for pci(e) add on cards and could lead to short circuits.
