PCIe 3.0 x8 to 4-Port U.2 SFF-8643 Adapter Card with PEX8724 Controller - Bifurcation-Free, 32Gbps NVMe SSD Expansion, Full/Low Profile Brackets, Windows/Linux/VMware Supported

Connect four 2.5" U. 2 (SFF-8639) SSDs directly to a single PCIe x8 slot using SFF-8643 ports, eliminating the need for SFF-8643-to-U. 2 cables. Achieve up to 32 Gbps total bandwidth, four times faster than SATA SSDs, for rapid boot times and high-speed data transfers.. Built-in PLX PEX8724 switch chip splits PCIe lanes automatically, enabling full SSD recognition without motherboard BIOS bifurcation support (ideal for older systems lacking x4/x4/x4/x4 splitting capability).. Supports PCIe 3.0 x8 (8 GT/s per lane) with backward compatibility for PCIe 2.0 / 1.0. Optimized for U.

2 NVMe SSDs, delivering sequential read/write speeds up to 3, 500 MB/s per drive (performance varies by SSD model).. Pre-configured for Windows (7/10/11/Server 2008-2022), Linux (RHEL/CentOS 6-8, Ubuntu 16-21), VMware ESXi 6/7, and FreeBSD. No drivers requiredinstall SSDs and configure BIOS boot priority directly.. Includes full-profile and low-profile brackets for flexible installation in towers or servers. Passive heatsink cooling ensures stability under sustained workloads, backed by a 3-year warranty.
