upgrade dell optplex 9020 MT
Hello, could you help me with a subject?
I have a dell optplex 9020 MT and wanted to insert a PCIe card with 2x m2 nvme. the technical manual has an option which is "PCIe Express x16 slot (wired as x4)"
This card supports "bifurcation"
If not, what's the best option?
Thank you.

Ok.
The problem is that I need one NVMe for the system and the other for frequent data storage and they are cumbersome.
Is it possible to make this adaptation in any of the PCEI X16 slots?
Thank you.

If you plan to install the card in bottom black x16 slot which is wired x4, it is better for single pciex4 nvme ssd. If there are two pciex4 nvme ssd on the card they would have to share the x4 lane bandwidth. practically your system may not need to access both ssd at full bandwidth simultaneously so you may be ok. If you already have a video card installed in the other blue x16 slot which is wired x16, then the black slot seems to be ur best option.
