PCIe x16 HPE Express Bay Bridge Board SP#824019-001 Scsi-E Adapter

Price: US $75.00

This is the HPE Express Bay Bridge Board (also called NVMe PCIe Bridge Controller Card or NVMe Enablement Kit component). Key details:

* Official description (from HPE Partsurfer): Express Bay bridge board — Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface PCIe controller board with three internal 68-pin connectors for controlling up to six NVMe drives.

* Form factor: PCIe x16 full-height expansion card.

* Purpose: Acts as a bridge/switch to connect up to 6 U.2 NVMe SSDs (via Express Bay backplanes) in compatible HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers. It enables direct PCIe passthrough for high-performance NVMe storage without traditional RAID processing (it’s a bridge, not a full RAID controller, though sometimes marketed loosely as “NVMe RAID bridge”).

* Compatible servers — Primarily:

* DL380 Gen9

* DL360 Gen9

* DL560 Gen9

* DL580 Gen9

* (Possibly others with Express Bay support, like ML350 Gen9 in some setups)

* Often used in kits to add NVMe support to the front bays (requires compatible backplane, cables, and sometimes firmware updates on the board).
