A Neverending Story: PCIe 3.0/4.0/5.0 Bifurcation, Adapters, Switches, HBAs, Cables, NVMe Backplanes, Risers & Extensions - The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Good news everyone, both issues…

  • Only up to four x4 NVMe SSDs show up when the 90504 gets an x8 instead of x16 PCIe link

and

  • The four “phantom” 87D0 PCIe devices in Windows Device Manager where drivers could not be installed (Code 28)

Have been fixed by a Broadcom firmware update you get when you annoy Delock’s Level 2 support a bit.

Hope that they’ll leave this link active:
