Dual MCIO 8i VROC Adapter

This adapter converts a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot into two MCIO 8i connectors for VROC RAID configurations. It targets server and workstation builders who need to attach multiple high-speed SSDs through the motherboard's bifurcated PCIe lanes. The green PCB carries on-board DC power modules to maintain stable operation under load.

Motherboard Bifurcation Requirement

The board only works on motherboards that can split a x16 slot into two x8 electrical links; without bifurcation the system will see only one drive. Verify that your platform supports detachable PCIe channels and that the BIOS exposes VROC or equivalent RAID-on-CPU functionality before ordering. No additional drivers are required beyond the platform's native VROC stack.

Thermals Noise and Power

On-board high-power DC regulators supply the MCIO ports directly from the slot, so no external power cable is needed. The adapter is a passive PCB with no fan, adding zero acoustic noise to the chassis. Rated throughput reaches 24 Gbps per lane across the 74-pin and 38-pin MCIO interfaces, and the components are specified for continuous operation inside server airflow.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the Vszerda Dual MCIO 8i adapter and do I need extra cables?

The adapter has a 74-pin MCIO connector on one end and a combined 74-pin/38-pin MCIO connector on the other. No additional cables are mentioned in the specifications.

How do I know if my motherboard can use both MCIO 8i ports on this VROC adapter?

Your motherboard must provide a detachable PCI-Express 8x channel that can split into two x8 links. Without that bifurcation the board will only recognise one drive.

What does the 24 Gbps figure mean for an SSD installed through this adapter?

It is the maximum signalling rate per lane across the MCIO 8i interface. Actual throughput depends on the SSD, the motherboard PCIe 5.0 link and the VROC configuration.
