Description
Squid PCI Express Gen 4 Carrier Board for 4 x M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD modules
This Squid PCIe Gen 4 Carrier board can support up to four M.2 PCIe SSD (solid state drive) modules with M-key. The Carrier board supports M.2 (2280; M-key) PCIe Gen 4 SSD modules of any capacity, from any vendor, and in any combination.
The open-concept design of our Squid Carrier Board family allows easy SSD module installation/replacement.
The operating system recognizes each module as an individual hard disk and can combine them as a RAID.
This is a one-slot-wide carrier board. It is based on our patented architecture where the carrier board is in the middle of the PCI express slot and connects to the motherboard PCI express connector by exchangeable x16 or x8 PCI Express upstream adapters (US Pat. 9,996,494; US Pat. 10,664,431).
PCI Express Carrier board is compliant with PCI Express Specification 4.0 and M.2 Specification 3.0.
