MITAC CYPRISER3RTM PCIe Gen3 x16 -riser-kortti 1U/2U M50CYP Slot 3:lle 2x SFF-8643 NVMe

PCIe riser card engineered to unlock high-speed NVMe storage connectivity in Gigabyte M501-G20 series servers. This low-profile card plugs into PCIe x16 Slot 3 and delivers two SFF-8643 Mini-SAS HD ports, enabling direct PCIe lanes to NVMe backplanes for up to eight U.2 drives. Built for 1U and 2U rack environments, it provides a reliable, plug-and-play pathway to maximize storage performance without compromising space or airflow.

Advantages

The CYPRISER3RTM transforms a standard PCIe slot into a high-bandwidth NVMe expansion point. Its Gen3 x16 interface ensures full throughput for demanding data-intensive applications, while the dual SFF-8643 connectors offer flexible cabling to compatible backplanes. The low-profile design fits seamlessly into dense server chassis, and PCIe slot power eliminates extra cabling. High-quality PCB construction guarantees stable signal integrity and long-term reliability in 24/7 operation.
