What is this for? I tried looking this up at Newegg and the description there wasn't very helpful either. Looks like you could connect 4 NVME SSDs but how? They plug into the ends of the card that is inside the case?

Looks like $208.80 is the normal price.. is this a good deal? Why would someone want this? Not understanding the appeal. Spindle drives are much cheaper if folks want to get more storage for less $.

Update: So apparently this card includes SFF-8643 connectors, for which you could buy SFF8643 to SATA converters. Using this card you could then hook up a bunch more hard drives and place them in your case. Likely this card would be very useful for folks building a network attached storage (NAS) server.

Get a used Dell Perc h310, for < $30 on eBay, add 2x $10 SFF-8087 -> 4xSATA cables, and you get the same functionality - 8 SATA connectors.

if you just want a JBOD HBA, you'll need to reflash it, which takes 10 mins.

An IBM M1015 can be used too, but it's more expensive, and the SFF-8087 ports aren't placed as conveniently.
