About Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Cards and 3.2 TB
NVMe SSDs
Servers equipped with 3.2 TB NVMe SSD drives require a PCIe low-profile form factor NVMe
switch controller card to facilitate connections between the host root port and the NVMe
devices. This Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Card provides high bandwidth and low latency for up
to four NVMe drives. The Oracle PCIe NVMe Switch Card plugs into a low profile x8 PCIe
Gen 3 card slot and uses sixteen lanes to support four NVMe storage drive devices.
The following illustration shows four Oracle 3.2 TB NVMe SSDs connected to one Oracle
PCIe NVMe Switch Card in an x86 server configuration.
