ICY DOCK M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD Slot to 1 x SlimSAS 4i Adapter with Redriver - EXLink MB309A

The ICY DOCK EXLink MB309A is a powerful M.2 NVMe to SlimSAS 4i (SFF-8654) PCIe adapter card designed to connect integrated M.2 SSD slots with professional, removable NVMe storage solutions. Designed to simplify complex system configurations, the MB309A allows system integrators and workstation manufacturers to build a seamless, fast, and modular NVMe workflow with ICY DOCK removable racks and cables - no more guesswork on component selection or multi-vendor procurement. Instead of combining your M.2 SSD with fixed internal storage or relying on limited expansion slots, the MB309A allows you to convert an onboard M.2 PCIe slot into a removable NVMe storage bay by combining with one of ICY DOCK's SlimSAS-based removable racks and certified cables. The EXLink MB309A is equipped with a PCIe 4.0 redriver and a 100MHz PCIe clock buffer, which ensure signal purity and stability over long PCB lines and SlimSAS cable routes. Unlike standard adapter cards that often suffer from signal loss or speed throttling as conductor or cable length increases, the MB309A ensures stable PCIe 4.0 transfer rates of up to 64Gbps - ideal for high-performance applications requiring continuous NVMe speed.
