PCI-E Bifurcation on Asrock z77 Extreme6

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,
first of, I'm new hereon the Forum, so sorry if that got asked and answered already but I couldn't find anything related to the Topic.
I got an ASRock Z77 Extreme6 Board and I wanted to use a "Dual M.2 PCIe 4.0/3.0 X8 Adapter" to run two (2) M.2 SSDs on it but the Board needs to support "PCI-E Bifurcation".

So my question is, is this possible on my Board or, if not on default, is there a Patch or BIOS Version/Update around that enables this Function on the Board?
(Or is it just not possible at all because the Board is to old and doesn't support Bifurcation at all?)

Thanks in advance and Greetings,
Uwe
