PE485-2I is a high performance, low dielectric loss factor interface conversion card designed for PCIe 4.0 U. 2 SSD. It connects NVMe SSD or PCIe connectors via SlimSAS connector (SFF-8654). The bandwidth of the card is the bandwidth that the PCIe slot of the motherboard can support.
The Motherboard with CPU and BIOS needs to support bifurcation to ensure PCIe x8 link width to bifurcate two x4 link width for NVMe SSD, Otherwise this card can only support PCIe x8 link width.
Features
Directly connected to PCIe 4.0 U. 2 NVMe SSD by SFF-8654 4i to SFF-8639 cable
Support bifurcated in two x8 data link width configuration (CPU and BIOS both support)
Build in SlimSAS(SFF-8654) 4i connector 2 sets, pin-out defined by SFF-9402 for high-performance storage connectivity
PCIe Standard Full-profile bracket pre-installed and also a low-profile bracket for small form factor computer.
