PCIE switch, oculink, nvme and sata

@smakkerlak

Can confirm that the Delock 90504 can handle any type of PCIe Device, not just PCIe NVMe SSDs!

  • Got a janky SFF-8643-to-PCIe Slot Adapter.

  • To verify that that janky adapter worked at all I at first plugged in another janky PCIe x4-to-U.2 adapter with a Micron 7450 SSD in it.

  • Then plugged a Broadcom HBA 9500-16i into that janky PCIe Slot Adapter and it also worked fine.

  • If you get that PCIe Switch from that eBay Seller could you ask for all possible Firmware configurations and post them here?

(x16+x16, x16+x8+x8, x16+x8+x4+x4, x8+x8+x8+x4+x4, x8+x4+x4+x4+x4+x4+x4, x4+x4+x4+x4+x4+x4+x4+x4, did I miss something?)

  • Thanks for getting me to test that, would have thought that it wouldn’t work and am honestly pleasantly surprised.

  • And pissed that Broadcom turned the PCIe Gen4 version of the same product (P411W-32P) into a piece of hot trash, that would enable fun and well-performing builds with PCIe Gen4.
