The Ultimate Gen5 Enclosure Checklist: Why the 8631D Outperforms Market Alternatives
For most, an External Accelerator Enclosure is a long-term investment. Choosing then deploying the right enclosure can have a dramatic impact on high-compute workflows, delivering the performance and reliability you need to fully exercise of your high-value Gen5 accelerator cards. The Checklist While many enclosure products claim Gen5 support, few can deliver on the three critical areas required for maximum performance: Bandwidth Reliability, Sustained Power, and Physical Co

Signal Integrity Solved: Why Astera Labs Gen5 Retimers are Mandatory for External x16 Bandwidth
The leap from PCIe Gen4 to Gen5 doubled the data rate from 16GT/s to 32GT/s, and is capable of delivering up to 64GB/s of real-world transfer bandwidth, this transition has introduced a critical engineering problem: signal integrity. When data travels over an external cable—no matter how high-quality—the high-speed Gen5 signal quickly degrades due to attenuation and jitter. For the host system to correctly read the data, this signal must be clean. The Retimer Difference: Acti

Beyond 850W: Why Your Gen5 Accelerator Needs 1300W Dedicated Power Supply Support
The PCIe Gen5 era has fundamentally changed the power requirements for high-performance computing. While many external enclosures rely on standard power supplies that deliver between 400 and 850W, this range of capacity is no longer sufficient for today's flagship GPUs and accelerator cards. For mission-critical AI training, simulations and other HPC workflows, the only way to ensure unconstrained performance is with the dedicated 1300W PSU support found in the RocketStor 86
