PROBLEM WITH ASUS M.2 HYPER X16

DefensivePepe · July 25, 2019

Hello everyone.

I have just bought one Asus Hyper m.2 x16 pcie card, in order to install my 2xCrucial P1 in my Asus Rampage IV Extreme, X79 Platform. I was aware that this platform is not supported but I read someone using it wihout issues.

It arrived, I installed the two drives, the LED is lighted but only one is working, the first m.2 and I am starting to worry if maybe the card is broken because I am planning to use this card in a future build but I do not have any way to check it if it works. Despite this fact, I see no reason why only the first m.2 port is working and not any of the other 3.

Short update on this topic. As it seems, at least in my board it only can work one m.2 ssd at a time. I tryed almost everything and, with only 1 ssd at a time, it worked on ports 1 and 4 but never on 2 or 3. It made the pc to crash several times and deleted the files in the drive.

I will stick now with only 1 drive, I return the second and we will see how it works when I upgrade my platform.
