Key benefits Simple and easy to use: no additional driver required for installation. Flexible PCIe expansion: PCIE to SFF8611 expansion card works with PCIE slots and supports PCIE interfaces, helping you adapt to different server configurations and expansion needs. Enables U.2 storage connectivity: provides a connection for U.2 hard drives in the server for efficient data transmission and storage expansion. Expand PCIe to SFF interfaces: converts a PCIe slot to SFF8611 and SFF8612 interfaces for versatile storage options. What it is and how it works PCIe to SFF8611 expansion card that adds U.2 drive support by connecting through PCIE slots. Facilitates efficient data transmission and storage expansion by enabling U.2 drives in the server. Expands a PCIe slot to support SFF8611 and SFF8612 interfaces, increasing storage expansion options. Compatibility and installation Compatible with PCIE slots and PCIE interfaces. Designed to fit in standard PCIEenabled servers and workstations that require U.2 connectivity. Performance and use cases Performance: Enables efficient data transmission and storage expansion through U.2 drives via SFF interfaces. Use case 1: In a server with available PCIe slots, install this adapter to connect a U.2 NVMe drive for additional speed storage. Use case 2: In a data center rack server, use the adapter to expand storage capacity without changing the motherboard, by adding SFF8611/8612 U.2 connections. Use case 3: In a workstation or server upgrade, convert an existing PCIe slot to support U.2 storage for improved throughput and expanded capacity.
