PCIe 3.0 x16 to 4-Port M.2 NVMe Expansion Card PLX8747, Driver-Free, Quad M.2 SSD Adapter for Server / Desktop / High-Performance Storage

SE-M8747A-4MK PCI Express 3.0 x16 M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Card Its switching functionality enables users to connect multiple hosts to their respective endpoints through scalable, high-bandwidth, non-blocking interconnects, supporting a wide range of applications including server, storage, communications, and graphics platforms. Featuring the enhanced PLX 8747 field-proven and ideal for fan-out, aggregation, and peer-to-peer traffic patterns.

The PCI Express 3.0 x16 bus architecture allows users to configure the device in legacy single-host mode or multi-host mode, with up to four host ports supporting 1+1 (one active and one backup) or N+1 (N active and one backup) host failover. With its robust architecture and enhanced features, users can build PCIe-based systems with high availability, failover, redundancy, or clustering capabilities.
