Question Asus-Hyper-M-2-x16-Card

You didn't mention specifically what motherboard you have, just that it's a Gigabyte X299. There are several variants.

Without RAID you won't show 8TB of space. You would show 4 independent 2 TB volumes.

With an i9-7920X, this should work, however, it depends on your motherboard. The most important thing is that you must have a fully electrically connected PCI-E x16 slot that supports slot bifurcation. If it's just running PCI-E x8 electrical it won't work.

I'd check with gigabyte (or from other users) who can verify the specific Gigabyte board you have has working slot bifurcation and which slot works with it.

thank you.

It's x299 Gaming Ultra Mobo
 
I do not see anything in the motherboard manual indicating support for bifurcation. Compared to say, the x299 Aorus Master. That leads me to believe your board does not support it and thus can't use the above card.

It's still work checking with support to see if it's been added in a BIOS update or something similar. But it doesn't look like that board is going to do what you want.
 
There is a supported motherboard list for this card. I own both the Hyper 16X and the Asus Rampage IV Apex.

If you want 8GB of SSD storage you can already go single drive with SATA:

This will be cheaper than 4 2TB NVMe SSDs and if you want boosted performance you can cache the SATA SSD to a 118GB 800P and still be cheaper than 4 2TB SSDs + Hyper 16X card.
