This GPU-like internal card combines 28 M.2 SSDs to offer up to 109GB/s read speed and 224TB storage - but I struggle to see any real use for it

• Utran’s PCIe 5.0 card holds 28 M.2 SSDs, reaching a total 224TB capacity
• Delivers 109GB/s read speed using Broadcom switch and advanced cooling
• Ideal for AI workloads, but overkill for most enterprise storage needs

Utran Technology has introduced a new PCIe 5.0 add-in card which feels more like a GPU than a storage solution.

Unveiled at Computex 2025, the device can host up to 28 NVMe Gen5 M.2 8TB SSDs in a single slot, delivering 109GB/s sequential read speed and a total storage capacity of 224TB.

Two versions of the 28x M.2 Host Card: HM-5281A and HM-5282A will be available - both use the Broadcom AtlasII PEX89144 switch to handle internal bandwidth and connectivity. The HM-5281A uses a single PCIe Gen5 x16 upstream link, while the HM-5282A doubles that with two x16 links, bringing total bandwidth up to 1024 ...
