Four-port NVMe HBA for low-profile servers
This Supermicro AOC-SLG3-4E4R-O is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 host bus adapter that adds four internal NVMe connections through SFF-8643 ports. It targets enterprise servers needing dense, high-speed flash storage in a low-profile slot. The card suits near-line cache tiers where data stages before moving to backend arrays.
Sustained throughput across four lanes
Each of the four ports operates at up to 12.8 Gb/s using PCIe 3.0 signalling, so aggregate bandwidth scales with the number of attached drives. The on-board redriver maintains signal integrity over the SFF-8643 cables during continuous read and write streams. Thermal load stays within the low-profile envelope without requiring active cooling on the card itself.
Straightforward drop-in for compatible backplanes
Installation is a single x16 insertion; the 2.7-inch height fits standard low-profile brackets. The only common issue is mismatching the SFF-8643 pin-out to the backplane or using cables rated below the 12.8 Gb/s lane speed, which caps performance. Verify the server BIOS exposes the x16 link at Gen 3 before deployment.

Vragen over dit artikel
How much heat does the PCIe 3.0 x16 HBA add when running four NVMe drives continuously?
The low-profile card uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 redriver design with no active cooling, so thermal output stays minimal inside a server chassis with normal airflow.
Which cables or drive trays must I already have to connect four NVMe SSDs to the four SFF-8643 ports?
You need four SFF-8643 (Mini SAS HD) to U.2 or U.3 cables, or a backplane with matching SFF-8643 receptacles, to attach the NVMe drives.
Will the card work in an older server that only offers PCIe 2.0 x16 slots?
The adapter is PCIe 3.0 x16 and will fall back to PCIe 2.0 speeds if installed in a Gen-2 slot, halving the 12.8 Gb/s aggregate bandwidth.
