Highpoint SSD6540M eNVMe RAID M.2 14GB/s 4 Bay Storage Box

The Fastest External Desktop Storage – 14,000MB/s! Powered by M.2 NVMe SSD’s

The SSD6540M is designed for professional grade, performance-hungry applications that demand uncompromised transfer bandwidth. The unique NVMe architecture provides dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth for each drive-bay; this allows each M.2 SSD to interface directly with the platform’s CPU, and deliver sustained transfer performance in excess of 14,000MB/s – faster than any other external desktop RAID storage solution in today’s marketplace!

PCIe Gen3 x16 NVMe RAID Turnkey Solution

The SSD6540M is the industry’s first external NVMe storage solution to deliver uncompromised end-to-end PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 transfer bandwidth. Our innovative external data cables work in conjunction with the removable M.2 drive bays to deliver dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 transfer bandwidth; this unique, performance-focused architecture ensures each M.2 SSD operates at peak performance. The SSD6540M is a complete, stand-alone solution, and includes a 4-Bay NVMe M.2 enclosure, PCIe 3.0 x16 controller card with external SFF-8644 connectors, two SFF- 8644 PCIe Gen3 x8 data cables, and all necessary fastening and power accessories.

Powered by Proven RAID Technology

The SSD6540M is powered by our industry proven NVMe RAID technology, and can accommodate a variety of RAID and non-RAID storage configurations, including single M.2 SSD’s and multiple RAID arrays.

Robust & Simple NVMe RAID Management

Each SSD6540M RAID Enclosure includes a simple, intuitive web-based management interface. A Quick Configuration menu allows new users to get everything up and running with a few simple clicks. Experienced Pros can fine tune configurations for specific applications using the Advanced Options menu.

Integrated TRIM & S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring with Terabyte Written (TBW) Tracking

TRIM streamlines performance and expands the lifespan of NVMe storage by enabling each SSD to handle garbage collection more efficiently, which helps eliminate write speed degradation. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring allows you to check the temperature, voltage and TBW of each NVMe SSD.

Rapidly Adapts to Changing Workflows

The SSD6540M’s flexible architecture enables you toadapt or transform NVMe storage to meet the needs ofeach application. A single SSD6540M enclosure can be shared between multiple desktops and workstations – the included controller card is also available as a standalone accessory, and can be installed into any system with a free dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. In addition, M.2 SSD’s hosted by the SSD6540M can be installed into any M.2 capable SSD7100 series RAID controller; your array and data will remain intact and accessible.

Optimized for Serviceability

The SSD6540M's is ideal for professional applications that require a robust, easily serviceable, high-speed storage solution. Unlike other M.2 based storage solutions, the SSD6540M’s four removable drive bays enable quick and safe access to the NVMe media to streamline upgrade, transfer or maintenance sessions. The professional-grade, all-aluminum enclosure is rugged enough for work in the field, yet perfectly suitable for live-demoing a media project or delivering finished product direct to the client.

Built-in LCD screen Streamlines Monitoring & Maintenance

Each SSD6540M features a built-in LCD screen that displays environmental conditions in real-time. Customers can quickly access the temperature of storage configurations and adjust fan speed to ensure the NVMe drives stay healthy and run optimally. In addition, a built in alarm can be set to activate in the case of temperature or enclosure related warning or failure.
