DeLOCK PCI Express 4.0 x8 Card to 2 x internal SFF-8654 4i NVMe Low Profile

This PCI Express 4.0 x8 card by DeLOCK provides two internal SFF-8654 4i NVMe ports for connecting U.2-compatible SSDs via optional cables. The card forwards PCIe signals using the NVMe protocol and is available in a low-profile bracket suitable for compact systems. It supports operation on Windows and Linux when the motherboard provides the required PCIe bifurcation to split the x8 link across the two ports.

Advantages

The card offers two internal SFF-8654 4i NVMe interfaces with a combined PCIe 4.0 x8 throughput up to the specified platform limits, a low-profile design for small form-factor cases, and stainless-steel finish for durability. It enables connection of U.2 SSDs via optional cables and uses native NVMe over PCIe for low-latency storage access.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the card into a free PCIe x8 (or higher) slot on the motherboard, ensuring the board supports PCIe bifurcation to split the lane into two ports. Attach optional SFF-8654 (U.2) cables from the card to compatible SSDs and secure drives in the chassis. After installation, verify BIOS/UEFI settings for bifurcation and NVMe device visibility, then install or update drivers on the operating system if required.

Recommendations

Confirm motherboard support for PCIe bifurcation and PCIe 4.0 bandwidth before purchase. Use compatible SFF-8654 (U.2) cables and ensure adequate cooling for NVMe SSDs in confined enclosures.
