Shinreal PCIe 4.0 x8 to SlimSAS SFF-8654 x8 NVMe Adapter, PCIe Gen4 X8 Host Breakout Card for NVMe SSD

The XIC PE485 PCI Express 4.0 x8 to SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i Adapter is an enterprise-grade high-speed storage expansion card designed for servers, workstations, and NAS systems. This adapter converts a standard PCIe 4.0 x8 host slot into a SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i interface, allowing users to expand their system with up to 2 PCIe 4.0 U.2 NVMe SSDs through a single PCIe slot.

Built with a native PCIe 4.0 x8 host bus, the card delivers a maximum data transfer speed of 16GT/s per lane, ensuring ultra-fast, low-latency performance for NVMe storage workloads. It is fully backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 platforms, offering excellent flexibility for both new-generation and legacy server hardware upgrades.

Equipped with a standard SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i port, this breakout card supports dual U.2 NVMe SSD configuration to greatly expand local storage capacity, ideal for high-capacity data storage, video rendering, database processing, and high-performance computing scenarios. The high-precision optimized PCB ensures stable signal integrity during long-duration high-speed transmission, effectively reducing data loss and transmission errors.

Important Requirement: This adapter requires motherboard and BIOS support for PCIe lane bifurcation (x8 split into 2×x4 mode). Without bifurcation enabled, the system will only recognize one NVMe SSD. Please confirm your motherboards bifurcation function before purchase to avoid incompatibility issues.

The XIC PE485 adapter supports mainstream Windows and Linux operating systems with no additional drivers required for plug-and-play functionality. The package includes the adapter card and a low-profile short bracket, perfectly fitting standard and small-form-factor server chassis for flexible deployment.
