Dual-Channel PCIe Gen3 Interface (M.2 M-KEY)
This indicates that the device uses a dual-channel PCIe Generation 3 interface for M.2 M-KEY SSDs. PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes can theoretically provide bandwidth up to 32Gbps (8Gbps per lane x 4 lanes), but the dual-channel configuration here suggests a focus on redundancy or increased compatibility rather than purely maximizing bandwidth.
Theoretical Support for a Total of 16Gbps Transmission Bandwidth
There are a total of 6 ports, each of which supports 6Gbps, theoretically supporting a total of 16Gbps transmission bandwidth.
6 Ports Supporting 6Gbps Each
The device has a total of six ports, each capable of 6Gbps, which aligns with the SATA III standard. This is typical for devices designed to accommodate SATA-based storage devices, including mechanical hard drives and SSDs.
Support for Soft RAID via System Tools
The device supports the creation of software RAID configurations using the system's built-in RAID tools. This allows for various RAID setups (e.g., RAID 0, RAID 1) to enhance performance or data redundancy.
