Introducing the PCIe Gen3 16-Lane to SlimLine SAS (SFF-8654) 8i Adapter, the ultimate solution for high-performance storage connectivity. This adapter allows you to bifurcate your PCIe x16 link width into two x8 link widths for four NVMe SSDs, ensuring maximum performance and data transfer speeds. With the ability to bifurcate your link width, this adapter can be used in quad x4 data link width configurations, as well as two x8 data link width configurations, making it the perfect solution for any system. The adapter can also be used over a cable to extend your x16 data link width, making it ideal for those who need to extend their data transfer capabilities. This adapter features four internal NVMe (SFF-8654 8i x2) for high-performance storage connectivity. The build-in SlimSAS (SFF-8654) 8i connector 2 sets, pin-out defined by SFF-9402, and eight internal lanes per SlimSAS 8i port, 6.4Gb/s per port, allows you to connect up to four physical NVMe devices. The adapter also supports SFF-9402 clock pin out, Intel define Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) clock pin out, SFF-9402 perst# pin out, and Intel Define Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) perst# pin out, enabling the system clock & perst# signal to be used over longer trace lengths and over a cable. The adapter is compliant with NVM Express 1.2a, PCI Express Base Specification Rev 3.1, SSD_Form_Factor_Version1_a, and SFF-8654 Specification Version 1.2. It also supports a wide range of operating systems, including VMware, Linux, Windows 8 &8.1, Windows 10, and UEFI 2.3.1 or later. Micro SATA Cables PN #SAS-1675-8I
