Professional PCIe Switch Card • 4× NVMe SSD Support • UK Stock
The SUNWEIT ST5106 is a professional PCIe Gen3 storage expansion card that allows up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs to be installed in a single PCIe slot without requiring motherboard PCIe bifurcation.
Powered by the ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe switch, the ST5106 automatically manages PCIe lane allocation, making it compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD desktop, workstation and server platforms.
Ideal for storage expansion, virtualisation, software RAID, media production, AI workloads and high-capacity NVMe storage.

Unlike passive quad M.2 expansion cards, the ST5106 includes an onboard PCIe switch. This removes the need for BIOS lane splitting (PCIe bifurcation), making installation much simpler and improving compatibility across a wide range of systems.
Each installed SSD is presented individually to the operating system, allowing flexible storage configurations including software RAID where supported.
