Supermicro AOC-SMG3-2M2-B - controlador de armazenamento (RAID)

Harness the speed of PCIe Gen3 x8 with the Supermicro AOC-SMG3-2M2-B-O, a bootable NVMe RAID controller engineered to transform two M.2 SSDs into a high-performance RAID 0 or RAID 1 array. Ideal for servers and workstations demanding rapid data access and redundancy.

Overview

The Supermicro AOC-SMG3-2M2-B-O is a low-profile, half-length PCIe add-on card that connects directly to a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, providing two M.2 NVMe slots supporting 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors. It delivers up to 8 GT/s per lane, unlocking the full potential of modern NVMe SSDs for boot and data storage. The passive heatsink ensures silent, reliable cooling, while activity LEDs provide at-a-glance drive status.
