Hello from Denmark

I have been thinking on if i can use ASUS HYPER M.2 X16 CARD in my unraid server for cash and vm boot drive 

because I have seen they say you can only use it with x299 chipset, but i don't want raid so can any body help

i have

asus Z10PA-D8 motherboard with room for 2 CPU

one intel xeon E5-2620 v4

You need pcie bifurcation for the card to work. It not mentioned in the manual or anywhere online, so not offically supported, but might still work.

 

Also with only one cpu, lots of slots and devices are disabled.

If you aren't going to use RAID on the card, then you just need to make sure that there is a PCIe slot that can support Bifurcation in 4x4x4x4 in order to make use of all the slots. Without bifurcation you can only use one drive, and only in the 1st slot. I have this card on a Q87 board and I get full* speed out of my 970 EVO, despite the fact that my CPU and chipset don't support NVMe and I don't have bifurcation support on my PCIe slots (which doesn't matter because I got the card as future proofing for when I have more than 1 nvme ssd and a new board).

 

* My SSD only runs at 1500 MB/s. But thats because the PCIe slot only runs Gen 2. Theoretically I could swap my GPU and this card to get full speed, but this second slot only runs at 4x as well, so I can't well run a 1070 at 4x Gen 2
