STC PE163-8I PCI Express x16 to 8 U.2 SFF-8643 NVMe SSD Adapter Card
Overview
The STC PE3163-8I is a switch adapter that bifurcation or expands the PCIe 3.0 x16 bus into 8x4 or 4x8 or 2x16. The total bandwidth is PCIe 3.0 x16 (128GT), for example, if you have 8 devices, the bandwidth of each device is 16GT (128GT/8), and if you connect 4 devices to any port, the bandwidth of each device is 32GT (128GT/4).
