About this item
This PLX88096 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion card splits one x16 slot into ten SFF-8654 8i connectors. The new kit also includes 10 baseplates and 10 cables, and the X8X8 note in the title refers to how the lanes are split. It's built for server builders, homelab users and storage engineers who need more PCIe 4.0 connections than their motherboard has.
What should I confirm before buying an SFF-8654 PCIe expansion card?
Know what each baseplate connects to and how the X8X8 setup lines up with your devices. If the listing has no diagram, ask the seller for documentation.
- Slot: you need a full PCIe 4.0 x16 slot to get full bandwidth.
- Cooling: check whether the card has a heatsink or fan, and plan for good airflow in the case.
- Cable length: make sure the cables reach your drive bays or risers.
- Power: look for extra power inputs on the baseplates.
At $899.88, it's good to know the eBay Money Back Guarantee covers your purchase.
