Dell PCIe Extender Bridge LP Adapter (Gen 14) | CDC7W

The Dell 14th Gen PCIe Extender Bridge Card x16 PCI-e Adapter LP (Part Number: CDC7W) is designed to enhance the storage capabilities of compatible Dell PowerEdge servers by facilitating the integration of NVMe SSDs. This low-profile adapter connects to a server's PCIe x16 slot and provides additional PCIe lanes dedicated to NVMe drives, enabling high-speed data transfer and reduced latency. It is particularly beneficial for applications requiring rapid data access and processing, such as database management and real-time analytics.

Regarding its capacity, the CDC7W adapter allows for the connection of up to four NVMe drives. This expansion is achieved through the adapter's provision of PCIe lanes, effectively enabling the server to support additional high-performance storage devices without occupying existing drive bays. This setup not only increases storage capacity but also enhances overall system performance by leveraging the speed advantages of NVMe technology.
