Adds two U.2 NVMe drives through a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot using a PLX 8747 switch
This Linkreal expansion card adds two SFF-8643 U.2 connectors to a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It uses a PLX 8747 switch to present two NVMe drives to the host without bifurcation. The board suits servers or workstations that need extra high-speed storage lanes.
The host link provides eight third-generation lanes, while the supplier lists a 6.0 Gbps transfer rate for the adapter. Two drives running simultaneously share that upstream bandwidth, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed the x8 ceiling. Older operating systems down to Windows 98 SE are supported.
Only drives or adapters with SFF-8643 connectors attach directly; M.2 or U.3 devices need a separate cable or interposer. The card occupies a single low-profile slot measuring 5.12 by 2.21 inches. Buyers needing more than two NVMe endpoints must add another adapter.
Measured against everything we stock in PCIe Expansion Cards, at today’s prices. Recalculated every night.

This model is the dual-port version with two SFF-8643 connectors, allowing two NVMe SSDs to run simultaneously from one PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
The 6.0 Gbps figure is the link speed per lane; with a PCIe 3.0 x8 host connection the card delivers full bandwidth to both U.2 NVMe drives at once.
The x8 host link splits bandwidth across both SFF-8643 ports, so each NVMe SSD shares the total Gen 3 x8 throughput without blocking.
