About this product
This PLX88024 expansion card features PCIe 4.0 with an x8 interface, designed for M.2 NVMe hard drives. It supports up to four ports, facilitating the integration of multiple NVMe SSDs into a single card. The maximum data rate is specified at 16 Gbps, providing substantial bandwidth for demanding storage applications. It includes a double bracket for installation and is universally compatible with various brands and product lines.
Our take
This expansion card offers a compelling way to leverage PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for M.2 NVMe drives, particularly with its x8 interface and support for four ports. While 16 Gbps is a solid data rate, for PCIe 4.0 x8, it feels a bit conservative compared to what some top-tier NVMe drives can offer individually. The 'no disassembly' feature for M.2 hard drives is a bit unclear from the specs, but presumably refers to ease of installation. The 3-month manufacturer warranty is on the shorter side, which is a consideration for a component like this. It's a universal solution, but make sure your system can fully utilize PCIe 4.0 x8.
