There's no such thing as a passive SATA data splitter.

it's probably a SAS/Sata controller, and the sas interface split to 4x sata.

They do link to the motherboard they are talking about, and it doesn't have SAS.

They mention 8 pcie slots with 48 pcie lanes... I'm presuming they are filling them with sas/sata controllers.
