xiwai 16x PCIE 5.0 to Dual MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 VROC Mini Cool Edge IO data adapter

SKU CH-W2WQ-Q4YJC

Connects a 16x PCIe 5.0 slot to dual MCIO 8i ports for up to 24 Gbps SSD data transfer with built-in high-power DC modules

  • Connect two drives via dual MCIO 8i connectors
  • Up to 24 Gbps throughput on PCIe 5.0 x16 link
  • Requires motherboard with bifurcated PCIe lanes for dual-drive operation
  • Onboard high-power DC modules deliver stable power
  • Plug-and-play MCIO 74-pin and 38-pin connections

PCIe 5.0 16x to Dual MCIO 8i Adapter

This adapter connects a detachable PCIe 5.0 16x motherboard slot to two MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 connectors. It is built for system integrators adding high-speed storage to platforms that expose bifurcated PCIe lanes. The board includes high-power DC modules for stable operation under sustained loads.

Motherboard Must Support PCIe Bifurcation

The adapter only functions on motherboards with detachable PCIe channels that can split a 16x link into two 8x links. Without signal splitting, the board will recognise only one attached drive. This constraint decides whether the part fits the target platform.

Dual MCIO 8i at 24 Gbps

Each MCIO 8i port delivers up to 24 Gbps for SSDs using 74-pin or 38-pin connectors. The design handles two drives simultaneously when the host provides bifurcated lanes. Builds lacking lane splitting lose access to the second drive.

Questions about this item

What does the 24 Gbps speed mean when the adapter is installed in a system?

The adapter can transfer data at up to 24 Gbps per lane when used with SSDs that have MCIO 8x connectors and a motherboard that splits PCIe 5.0 x16 into two x8 links.

Which interface standard does the MCIO connector follow and what does it limit?

The connector follows the SFF-TA-1016 specification and carries PCIe 5.0 signals, capping each MCIO 8i port to an x8 electrical link.

What motherboard slot and cable clearance does this adapter need to fit?

It requires a motherboard with a detachable PCIe 5.0 x16 slot that supports bifurcation to x8+x8, plus internal space for two 74-pin MCIO cables.
