ASRock Rack Ampere home builds

Has anyone successfully picked up a PCI → NVME card that works? The cheap one I picked up from amazon didn’t work out-of-the-box in Debian. Looking to expand to more NVME than just the 2 onboard the ASRock board.

I bought three M.2 NVMe to U2 from China to test on my PC; one works, one only works at x2 speed, and one doesn’t work. Results is the same when I install them into a DL380 Gen10 server.

Maybe the problem comes from PCB quality.

If want to use U2 devices, it can use Ocu2 to U.2 cable,it can get x4 link on my side.

Yes, you also have four SlimSAS PCIe x8 to connect 8 U.2 at x4.
