1. This PCIE-PEX8747M8 is a PCIE Gen 3.0 x8 to 4-Port NVME M. 2 SSD expansion card that effectively expands 8x PCIE lanes from motherboard to 16X PCIE lanes by using 4x NVME M. 2 physical slots. It provides 64Gb/s total bandwidth for 4x 32Gb/s max NVME M. 2 SSDs on desktop PCs and NAS systems without requiring PCIE Bifurcation support, making it ideal for video editing, data storage, and gaming.;
2. Active On-Card PCIE Bifurcation, Not Require Motherboard PCIE Bifurcation. The PCIE PEX8747M8 is built on the Broadcom PLX PEX8747 PCIE Gen 3.0 switch. It draws 8x PCIE lanes (64Gb/s) from motherboards, expands to 16 PCIE lanes, then assigns these lanes into 4x PCIE Gen 3.0 x4 links (32 Gb/s each) via 4x physical NVME M. 2 slots. This enables users to install and run 4x NVME M. 2 SSDs at full speed 32 Gb/s.;
