PCIe Gen4 offers a data transfer rate of up to 16 GT/s per lane, resulting in a total bandwidth of up to 128 GB/s for an x8 configuration. It utilizes the SlimSAS 4i SFF-8654 connector for high-speed data transfer, where 4i signifies support for four lanes of SAS. The SFF-8654 connector is defined for high-density, high-speed applications, commonly used for internal cabling in servers and storage systems. The AIC (Add-In Card) features Dual Port, providing two independent ports for connectivity, enhancing reliability and performance in enterprise environments through redundant or multi-path connections. It includes a ReDriver, a signal conditioning device that extends the reach and improves the integrity of high-speed signals by amplifying and equalizing them to compensate for losses over long traces or cables, ensuring reliable data transfer over extended distances. This AIC can be inserted into a PCIe slot on the motherboard to add functionality, specifically providing connectivity between PCIe x8 Gen4 lanes and SlimSAS 4i interfaces. Key Features and Benefits: High Throughput: PCIe Gen4 x8 supports high data rates suitable for demanding applications like data centers, AI, and high-performance computing. Signal Integrity: The ReDriver ensures high-speed signals maintain their integrity over long distances, crucial for performance and reliability. Versatile Connectivity: The dual-port SlimSAS 4i interface offers flexible, high-density connections, ideal for modern storage solutions and high-performance networking. Enterprise-Grade: Designed for enterprise environments where performance, reliability, and flexibility are critical. Use Cases: Data Centers: Connecting high-speed storage devices and servers to maximize data throughput. High-Performance Computing (HPC): Facilitating fast data transfer between compute nodes and storage systems. Networking: Enhancing network performance with high-speed data paths.
