The MS-2076-16X is a high-performance PCIe x16 to MiniSAS HD (SFF-8673) x8 Dual Port Adapter PCIe 4.0 for low speed (up to 5 Gbps) or high bandwidth applications that require additional connectivity between server and infrastructure behind the host processor. The adapter supports the PCI Express full duplex mode and can support the data flow in both directions simultaneously. It complies with PCIe 2.0 and PCI Express 3.0 specification specifications, which provides maximizing I/O bandwidth utilizing standard bus coding methods, improving the efficiency of peer-to-peer communication by avoiding multiple buffer exchanges on shared resources and also reducing server overhead by directly connecting each device with dedicated links without processing overhead on host side.
