PCIe 3.0 16x board for 8 SSD U.2 NVMe (U2 NGFF) or 8 PCIe x4 ports. Multi Host Switch Card. CHIPSET PLX PEX 8749 High and Low Profile.

PCI Express x16 Gen3 Multi-Host PCI-e switch Card. It offers Multi-Host PCI Express switching capability that enables users to connect multiple hosts to their respective endpoints via scalable, high-bandwidth, non-blocking interconnection to a wide variety of applications including servers, storage, communications, and graphics platforms.

High Performance & Low Packet Latency

Supports packet cut-thru with a maximum latency of 126ns (x16 to x16). This combined with large packet memory,flexible common buffer/FC credit pool and non-blocking internal switch architecture, provides full line rate on all ports for performance-hungry applications such as servers and switch fabrics. The low latency enables applications to achieve high throughput and performance and supports a packet payload size of up to 2048 bytes, enabling the user to achieve even higher throughput.
