PCIe 5.0 Adapter Controller Card with 2 MCIO 8i Ports for NVMe M.2, M.3, U.2, and U.3 SSDs or PCIe Add-on Cards

High-performance interface conversion card with low dielectric loss. For NVMe SSDs or PCIe connectors via two 74-pin MCIO 8i connectors. Supports up to 4 PCIe devices or NVMe SSDs.

This version features a different pinout from the version with connectors parallel to the PCIe slot. Here, the connection direction is reversed (PCIe Lane Reversal); this does not affect the card’s functionality, but it does have a technical benefit: the circuit paths are shorter. This version is therefore expected to have slightly lower potential signal loss than the “parallel” version.

Compatibility:

The adapter does not require a driver to operate or communicate with connected NVMe drives. The drives are presented natively to the host and use native NVMe drivers.

Compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, DOS, etc.

Supports split-mode if your motherboard also supports it.

Specifications:

PCIe 5.0 x16 card.

Compatible with PCIe Gen5, Gen4, Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1.

The card’s bandwidth corresponds to the bandwidth that the motherboard’s PCIe slot can support.

Two MCIO connectors (74-pin, x8 PCIe Gen 5), SFF-9402 pinout.

Supports up to 4 PCIe devices or NVMe SSDs if the motherboard supports split mode (x16) to 2x (x8) or 4x (x4).

Support for a single NVMe or PCIe device in split mode is not supported.

Direct connection to U2 or U3 NVMe SSDs via an MCIO 8i to SFF-8639 cable.

Operating temperature: 5 to 50°C.

Dimensions: 146.5 mm x 39.4 mm; weight: 70.5 g.

Card comes with high- and low-profile mounting brackets.
