High-Density NVMe Storage Expansion
Maximize your storage footprint without sacrificing precious motherboard PCIe slots. The Rocket 1624M allows industrial and data center servers to connect up to four direct-attach Gen5 NVMe storage devices via its dual MCIO ports, delivering massive IOPS for data-intensive applications, caching tiers, and intense virtualization workloads.
Flexible PCIe Slot Expansion with the HighPoint MCIO-PCIex16-G5
Turn compact MCIO cable connectivity into physical, versatile expansion slots. By pairing the Rocket 1624M with the HighPoint MCIO-PCIex16-G5 Bridge Card, system builders can convert MCIO connections back into standard PCIe slots. This enables cost-effective scaling for extra video capture cards, high-speed network controllers (NICs), or specialized hardware components exactly where the chassis space allows.
Compact 1U/2U Server & Workstation Deployment
Industrial server environments demand extreme spatial efficiency. The low-profile, full-length architecture of the Rocket 1624M makes it an ideal fit for dense, density-optimized servers and sleek workstation chassis, bringing full PCIe Gen5 performance to tight spaces where traditional, bulky cards simply cannot fit.
