Green PCB card with four M.2 slots on both sides

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PH44PRO Dual-Sided 4×M.2 NVMe PCIe X16 Splitter Card

SKU CH-2KEN-P2G4Y

Adds four M.2 NVMe drives at 32Gbps each via one PCIe x16 slot, dual-sided for 2U servers and RAID arrays

  • Four NVMe drives from one PCIe X16 slot
  • Each lane delivers 32 Gbps bandwidth
  • Dual-sided layout fits standard 2U server chassis
  • Supports RAID arrays for storage redundancy
  • Accepts 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 SSD sizes

Dual-Sided Four-Port Expansion

The SMUGDESK PH44PRO is a PCIe X16 splitter card that provides four M.2 M-Key slots on both sides of the PCB. It is designed for server administrators and storage builders who need to add multiple NVMe drives inside a 2U rackmount chassis. Each slot operates at 32Gbps for high-throughput arrays.

Verify Slot And Cooling

Confirm the host system has a free PCIe X16 slot with enough physical clearance for a dual-sided card. The motherboard or riser must support PCIe bifurcation to address all four drives independently. Ensure the 2U chassis airflow can cool drives mounted on both faces of the adapter.

Fits 2U Server Builds

The low-profile dual-sided layout occupies a single expansion slot while hosting up to four NVMe SSDs in 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110 form factors. It consolidates storage density without consuming extra drive bays. RAID support lets you configure redundancy or performance arrays directly from the card.

Questions about this item

What comes with the PH44PRO card and do I need to buy mounting hardware separately?

The card provides four M.2 M-Key slots for NVMe SSDs in 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 sizes; SSDs and any required mounting screws are not included.

Which SSD form factors fit the four slots on this splitter?

Each of the four M.2 M-Key slots accepts 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 NVMe drives, so you can mix lengths across the card.

What does the 32Gbps per channel figure mean when the card is installed in a server?

Each M.2 slot operates at 32Gbps over PCIe, giving full bandwidth to every installed NVMe SSD when the host provides a x16 link.
