Get ready for a Deep-Dive on the Jeyi QUAD U.2 to M.2 NVMe Adapter.
The end goal is to help you set up your adapter with an ultra fast ~8TB RAID 0 NVMe SSD configuration.

Four Different Adapters have been tested with 4x 2TB NVMes to help identify which adapter is the best value in terms of RAID 0 Speeds and Thermal management:

The Benching tests done:
Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test
ATTO Disk Bench Mark
Crystal Disk Mark
~80GB 4K Video File Transfer
~2TB of mixed File Transfer

And the relevant parameters measured using HWiNFO DataLogging.
Data meticulously verified for accuracy by RACERRRZ, but if you see an error please post a comment!

The end result was a surprise because the performance wasn't what would be expected from this adapter in RAID 0 (speeds of over 15000MB/s has been seen on PCIe 4.0 systems)

Conclusion - the Jeyi QUAD U.2 to M.2 is a versatile but slightly cumbersome adapter - well suited to your Gen 3 or Gen 4 NVMe adapters. The ADATA Legend 800 2TB NVMes gave solid transfer speeds and held a half-decent temperature while doing so. Adding some thermally conductive silicone would really help though!
