QUAD M.2 NVMe Ports to PCIe 3.0 x16 Interface ( x8 Bandwidth) Bifurcation Riser Controller

ASMedia's ASM2824 has a PCIe 3.0 x8 upstream port as well as four PCIe 3.0 x4 downstream ports. The switch is designed primarily for storage devices, enabling installation of four NVMe drives on a single card. SI-PEX40157 card uses ASM2824 PCIe switches and therefore does not rely on PCIe bifurcation supported by CPU or PCH (i.e., they will work on closed end systems that have limited PCIe bifurcation capabilities) as well as on software RAID technologies supported by the platform. Dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 bus bandwidth fully maximizes NVMe SSDs performance Delivers unprecedented fast transfer speed via intelligently aggregated Dual x16 PCIe 3.0 bus bandwidth
