PCIE to SFF8611 expansion card Function and benefits Expands a PCIe slot to expose SFF8611 and SFF8612 interfaces, enabling additional connection options without changing the host motherboard. Uses SFF8612 interfaces to provide fast data transmission suitable for server environments, supporting quick access to connected devices and improving data management. Enables a U.2 hard drive connection in the server, supporting storage expansion and efficient data transfer. Designed for PCIE slots and supports PCIE interfaces, offering flexibility to adapt to different server configurations and expansion needs. Key specifications and compatibility Compatibility: fits PCIe slots and supports PCIe interfaces. Performance: enables fast data transmission through SFF8612 interfaces for server workloads. Storage support: provides U.2 hard drive connectivity for storage expansion. Size and material: not specified in the available information. Use scenarios Scenario 1: Expand storage capacity in a server by adding U.2 drives via the SFF8612 interface to support databases or virtualization workloads. Scenario 2: Upgrade an existing server to access speed storage devices without replacing the motherboard or chassis. Scenario 3: Deploy in a storagefocused server or NAS environment to build a scalable storage pool using U.2 drives connected through the PCIe expansion card.
