PLX8747 PCIe3.0 x8/x16 NVMe Expansion Card — 4 M.2 Slots (2242/2260/2280/22110), Aluminum Body, 40mm Fan, 16000MB/s

Expand a single PCIe slot into four NVMe drives using the PLX8747-based expansion card. It accepts M.2 SSDs in 2242/2260/2280/22110 form factors and installs the four drives without requiring BIOS configuration. Built around the PLX8747 chip with 48-lane hardware bifurcation, the card supports PCIe3.0 connections and x8/x16 compatibility for high-throughput setups. Cooling is handled by an active system with a 40mm silents fan and aluminum heatsinks; interchangeable full-height (111.15mm) and low-profile (68.90mm) brackets are included for chassis flexibility. The metal construction and thermal design maintain a stable combined bandwidth up to 16000MB/s under heavy SSD workloads. Ideal for PC enthusiasts, workstation and data center technicians, or gaming and NAS builds where multiple NVMe drives are needed. The adapter provides automatic, driver-free detection across systems with UEFI boot support and is suitable for consumer motherboards and server-grade platforms.
