This allows the carrier board to be inserted into different sizes of PCIe connectors without encountering well-known limitations.

The upstream connection (from carrier board to motherboard) is done via exchangeable male x16 PCIe Gen 4 adapters (x8 version optional). ”Īll Squid c arrier boards can operate on any motherboard and do not rely on PCIe bifurcation. Always keeping our product line uniquely suited to the latest customer needs and trends, this is our 2nd carrier board to support a PCIe Gen 4 interface, and it is a significant addition to the Amfeltec Squid Carrier Board family. “ Our new carrier board is the first on the market to support up to 8 SSD modules in 2U form factor. To turn a host into a high-performance system, it typically requires a (PCIe Gen 4) carrier board to combine multiple M.2 SSD modules in a RAID, ” says Michael Feldman, p resident and CTO.

“ Today, computers and M.2 SSD modules that support PCIe Gen 4 interface are becoming more and more popular. The M.2 circuits are located on both sides of the main board and daughter board ( 2 circuits on the top (component) side and 2 on the bottom (soldering) side) and can accommodate any M.2 SSD with x4 PCIe Gen 4 interface. It consists of the main board and a daughter board with 4 M.2 (M-key) circuits for SSD modules located on each board (total capacity of 8 SSD modules). New carrier board is in the form of a 2- slot-wide, half-height and half-length board. This is the latest addition to the company ’s Squid Carrier b oard family. Amfeltec Corporation announced that its 2U PCIe Gen 4 Carrier b oard for up to 8 M.2 PCIe SSD modules is in production.
