High Speed PCIe Extension Card Adapter PLX8749 Non-Split Converter, PC U.2 SSD GPU Expansion Card with Compatible Module

High Speed PCIe Extension Card Adapter PLX8749 Non-Split Converter, PC U.2 SSD GPU Expansion Card with Compatible Module Description

PLX8749 chip; expands to 8x M.2 NVMe SSDs; PCIe 3.0 x16 interface; no bifurcation required; driverless.
Supports PCIe 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0 drives without requiring motherboard bifurcation.
Operates without auxiliary power (though external power is recommended when using all 8 drives; 4 drives can run without it).
Usable even motherboards that do not support bifurcation (Pass-through mode).
Dynamic PCIe allocation allows simultaneous use of all interfaces.

Supports ESXi.
Supports Xpenology (unofficial Synology DSM).
Compatible with slots connected via the PCH (Southbridge).
Supports use in x4 slots via expansion.
Compatible with PCIe x1, x4, x8, and x16 bandwidths.
No motherboard PCIe bifurcation required (plug-and- in PCIe
