  Only works with PCIe bifurcation

  No idea if this is general knowledge, but: the card does not work in principle in a PCIe x16 slot, but only if the board supports PCIe bifurcation. Otherwise, only an SSD is recognised.
  The answer from ASUS: "The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 is not supported on the WS X299 SAGE. A maximum of one SSD is possible per PCIE slot. => PLX vs. bifurcation".
  It is a pity that this is not mentioned in the product description or the system requirements even by ASUS. more

  Always check the technical specifications before buying.

  This card only works with a compatible motherboard with bifurcation?!? My z370a would work, but not on the third PCIE slot. Since I have two graphics cards installed, this card is useless for me.

  CARE! This may not work in your PC

  Beware - this probably won't work in your system. Save your money and buy one for a single M.2
  
  Even Intel i9 processors have 24 PCI lanes.
  
  Most decent GPUs use 16 of them - leaving 8.
  
  On my MSI motherboard that is 1 x 4 and 4 x 1. You need 4 lanes for EACH M.2 you add - so put four M.2 in and you need 16 lanes. Unless you remove or downgrade the GPU to an x4 slot, you won't have an x16 slot for these drives. more

  Pro

  • OK for one drive

  Contra

  • No use for 2, 3 or 4 drives on most systems
