Cable - MCIO x8 74 Pin (NVMe) a 1x SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 - 80 cm

High-speed internal storage connectivity can be a bottleneck in modern servers and workstations, especially when dealing with NVMe drives that demand maximum bandwidth. The STORESYS MCIO-2066-80 cable bridges the gap between MCIO x8 74-pin and SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 interfaces, ensuring your PCIe Gen5 NVMe devices perform at their full potential without signal degradation.

Who is it for

This cable is ideal for IT professionals, system integrators, and data center technicians who need reliable, high-density internal connections for NVMe storage arrays. It suits servers, workstations, and storage systems that require a direct link between an MCIO host adapter or backplane and SlimSAS 8i drives or expansion cards.

Main features

• Connects MCIO x8 74-pin to SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 for seamless NVMe integration.
• Supports PCIe Gen5 and backward compatibility for Gen4, Gen3, and earlier.

Tips

Before installation, verify that your motherboard or host adapter has an MCIO x8 port and that your drive or backplane uses SlimSAS 8i. Route the cable away from sharp edges and high-temperature components to maintain signal quality. For best performance, keep the cable as short as possible while allowing for proper airflow.
