Not aware of any single drive issues with those cards, but that does not mean they don’t exist.

"John Wolf
2.0 out of 5 stars
Fails on Mac Pro with only one SSD blade installed.
June 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
I purchased the card to get the maximum performance out of a Samsung 970 Pro NVME on a classic Mac Pro. Normally, an NVME blade installed in a classic Mac Pro slot can only reach 1500MB/sec due to the gen 2 PCIe slots that the cMP has. With this card installed in a 16x slot, it can combine 8x gen 2 to create 4x gen 3 speeds. With a blade on this card, I could reach over 2900MB/Sec from the same 970 Pro. Problem is, with only one blade installed, it will hang and then restart the Mac when copying large files. I could have purchased another SSD, but knowing that the card is flakey with just one led me to return the card... I just couldn't trust it. They also included the wrong screw sizes for the NVME standoffs."
Personally, I wrote this off, but make your own judgement.
