Ultra-speed Data TransfersIf you need to add internal storage to your computer and ultra high-speed data transfers are critical to your work, you need an NVMe SSD-based upgrade. Individually, M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer tremendous performance, but Sonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card enables you to mount up to four of them(1) into a single x16 card slot and combine their performance. No matter how you use it, this card can transform the way you work.
RAID 0 Performance
Mac Pro RAID 0 PerformanceInstall the M.2 4x4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your 2019 Mac Pro to achieve superior storage performance. If you’re one of the many still using 2010 or 2012 Mac Pro, install the Sonnet card plus SSDs to obtain performance you never thought possible!
Performance based on ATTO Disk Benchmark (available on the Apple® App Store) test results with Samsung® 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSDs with 64MB transfer size. See the M.2 4x4 Performance PDF Here for additional benchmarks and details.
Full Performance Design
Sonnet AdvantagesSonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card is a full-height, full-length PCIe 3.0 card with a 16-lane (x16) interface, designed to support full performance from four SSDs. Unlike “similar” adapter cards, Sonnet's M.2 4x4 card features:
x16 PCIe BridgeDevotes four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth to every SSD you install (instead of limiting the x4 bandwidth to two SSDs at a time)
Self ContainedCard doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features – no PCIe bifurcation required
Universal CompatibilityMac®, Windows, and Linux compatible
M.2 PCIe SSD SupportWorks with a wide variety of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs; now also supports double-sided SSDs(6)
Key Features
Add up to 32TB Ultra-fast storageMounts up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs (sold separately) in an x16 PCIe slot; also supports double-sided SSDs.(6)
High-Performance PCIe InterfacePCI Express 3.0 x16 host bus interface plus x16 PCIe bridge; four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth devoted to each installed SSD.
Superior PerformanceAchieve sustained RAID 0 speeds up to 11,700 MB/s.(2)
RAID SupportSupports macOS, Windows, and Linux RAID 0, 1, and 5 (macOS RAID 5 support requires SoftRAID software, sold separately).
macOS Boot SupportSupports booting from a single (non-RAIDed) attached SSD.
No Thermal ThrottlingCustom silent-operating cooling solution enables installed SSDs to maintain high performance during very large file transfer operations.
