Four-drive NVMe adapter for PCIe 3.0 x8 slots

This expansion card uses a PLX PEX8724 switch to present four M.2 NVMe slots through a single PCIe 3.0 x8 connection. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 form factors. The board targets servers, workstations and high-capacity storage builds that need more NVMe endpoints than the platform provides natively.

Heatsink, fan and mounting hardware included

A full-profile bracket comes pre-installed alongside a heatsink-and-fan assembly that covers all four drives. The package also supplies four SSD mounting screws with nuts and four heatsink screws. These parts let the installer secure drives and cooling without sourcing extra fasteners or brackets.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host link limits total bandwidth

The upstream x8 Gen 3 link caps aggregate throughput at the bus level, so four simultaneous drives share that pool. The card operates from 5 °C to 50 °C and stores from -25 °C to 70 °C. It does not add NVMe support to systems that lack PCIe 3.0 or an x8 electrical slot.

Questions about this item

Will the included fan or heatsink need replacement after extended use?

The card ships with a heatsink and fan cooling system; the fan is a moving part that typically requires replacement first under continuous operation.

What throughput ceiling appears first when all four slots run sustained workloads?

The PCIe 3.0 x8 host link caps aggregate bandwidth at 6.0 Gbps, so that bus limit is reached before individual SSD limits.

How loud and hot does the adapter get when it runs all day?

Active fan cooling keeps the PEX8724 switch within the 5 °C to 50 °C operating range; fan noise is present whenever the card is powered.
