it appears to be a simple “pass-thru” NOT a

Be patient: an x16 edge connector can neatly map
into four NVMe SSDs, but a PLX-type switch chip
is needed. Also, Intel’s DMI 3.0 link has the same
upstream bandwidth as a single M.2 SSD.
Either future DMI links must be wider and/or
add-in RAID cards need to operate in x16 slots
controlled directly by the CPU. Vendors are
working on these problems as we speak e.g.:

Yeah, that’s Dell, throwaway servers. Why would anyone spend money putting NAND in them? Ugh…just my opinion of course.

How soon til NVMe is a server standard?
