I believe it's a competitor to Thunderbolt, so an externally cabled PCI Express interface, but also supporting SATA. Just a breakout cable is needed much like a SFF cable on a RAID card.
These AsRock Rack boards are ridiculously expensive for what is a pretty basic itx board in the grand scheme of things.

$800 (non-sale price) for a basic board that I could shove my 5950x into ... honestly a flashstor 12 pro is the same price as that motherboard which starts making more sense at that price point.
Or you could buy a flashstor 6 and has cash left over to start populating it with nvme drives... for the cost of just the motherboard.

@Izerous I disagree. The cost of that board isnt that terrible to we homelab/overkill server types (we're used to huge prices on motherboards). You gotta look at how much you're getting into that tiny ITX form factor. Oculink, 4x ecc ddr4 ram slots with huge max ram capacity, full pcie x16 slot, m.2, support for 16-core (32 thread) cpus and more. The sheer density of all that on an itx board, the obviously low production volume - and server -grade reliability in spite of volume - makes it a very capable board indeed. There really isn't much this mobo Couldn't do, which also appeals to the small group of "one for all" -types. I know a few of them, and they literally make one PC the center of their whole homes, a literal jack of all trades PC (and master of some too). Gaming? Check. VM ware monster? Check. Raid/array with huge speeds? Check... you get the idea.
