GIGABYTE CMT3160 4-Port M.2 NVMe SSD PCI Express x16 Expansion Card

Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 9CMT3160NR-00-1

Maximize your server or high-end workstation storage performance and density with the GIGABYTE CMT3160 4-Port M.2 NVMe SSD Expansion Card. Specifically engineered for enterprise deployment, cloud architectures, and extreme data-intensive processing, this high-performance adapter card utilizes a full-bandwidth PCI Express x16 host interface to deliver raw, unthrottled read and write speeds directly through the CPU lines.

The CMT3160 features four internal M.2 slots, allowing you to mount up to four M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drives onto a single low-latency adapter. Encased in a heavy-duty aluminum heatsink shroud combined with premium thermal pads, it guarantees optimal heat dissipation to prevent thermal throttling, ensuring mission-critical reliability and peak data speeds under continuous enterprise workloads. (Note: Motherboard PCIe bifurcation support is required to utilize all 4 drive slots simultaneously).

Key Performance Features:

• Quad M.2 NVMe Expansion: Consolidate up to 4 high-speed M.2 SSDs into a single physical PCIe slot, dramatically increasing storage capacity density.
• Full PCIe x16 Bandwidth: Direct-to-CPU hardware routing ensures each individual M.2 slot can leverage dedicated Gen3/Gen4 lanes without internal bus sharing.
• Heavy Armor Passive Cooling: Full-coverage sandblasted aluminum heatsink layout wraps the drives to absorb and exhaust heat efficiently within server enclosures.
• Enterprise RAID Ready: Fully compatible with hardware and software deployment layers including Intel® VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) and AMD bootable RAID arrays.
• Versatile Form Factor: Designed to fit perfectly into standard full-height PCIe slots inside 2U+ rack servers, specialized industrial chassis, or workstation mid-towers.
