Pro SSD Storage Performance
Adobe AfterEffects User?Are you an Adobe® After Effects user? Imagine being able to perform 4Kp60 work in 32-bit linear, or even 4Kp24 with high channel count EXRs (or effects in 8K) where your computer’s onboard storage couldn’t keep up! Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card makes it possible.
Not Quiet...Silent
Sonnet Silent Cooling Thwarts Thermal ThrottlingSonnet designed the M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card with an effective passive cooling solution – instead of relying on fans that can get loud, Sonnet silent cooling effectively presents thermal throttling, enabling SSDS to maintain sustained peak performance without a peep.
Thunderbolt Port?
Connect Eight SSDs Through one cableGot a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe card slot? Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is ideal for use in the Echo I Desktop PCIe Expansion System. The combo effectively enables you to add up to eight SSDs to any Mac (M series or Intel), Windows, or Linux computer with Thunderbolt ports.
Simple and S.M.A.R.T.
Easy System IntegrationIntegrating a Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card into your system is easy — NVMe compliance ensures the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The M.2 8x4 uses your computer’s operating system’s built-in drive formatting utilities to format the SSDs. SSD health monitoring is supported through S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting, too.
