Use Magma’s PCI Express Expansion to create a super-fast PCIe connection outside the computer
The ExpressBox 3400 is the perfect solution for creating a super-fast local PCIe connection from a host

PCIe slot in the host computer motherboard and the other Magma 01-08003-00 interface card is inserted
into a designated upstream PCIe slot. A high-speed IO cable allows data transfers to and from the host
computer at 64 Gbps (8 Gb/s per lane multiply by 8 lanes).
