SONNET Fusion SSD M.2 M.2 8x4 Silent PCIe 4.0 PCIe Card
- Eight M.2 NVMe SSD Slots on a PCIe 4.0 x16 Card
- Add Your Own M.2 NVMe SSDs
- Compatible with Mac® | Windows® | Linux®
Ultra-fast Gen4 SSD Data TransfersSpeed or capacity? Not too long ago, you had to make a choice between the two. The problem is, for many professional workflows, both are critical. Everyone knows M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer great performance, but limited capacity. Hard drives offer great capacity, but very slow speeds by comparison. What if you could create increased SSD capacity? We make it possible — the Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe® Card enables you to mount up to eight NVMe SSDs into a single x16 PCIe card slot and combine their capabilities for ultra-performance. This card can transform your workflow.
Key Features
Add up to 64TB Ultra-fast StorageMounts up to eight 8TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 or Gen3 SSDs (sold separately) in an x16 PCIe slot. Higher-capacity SSDs will be supported when available.
High-performance PCIe InterfacePCI Express 4.0 x16 host bus interface plus x48 PCIe 4.0 switch; x16 slot bandwidth is available to all x4-connected SSDs.
Superior PerformanceAchieve sustained four SSD RAID 0 speeds up to 30,000 MB/s.
RAID SupportSupports macOS, Windows, and Linux RAID 0, 1, and 10 support.
macOS Boot SupportSupports booting from single (non-RAIDed) attached SSDs.
No Thermal ThrottlingCustom silent cooling solution enables installed SSDs to maintain consistent high performance during very large file transfer operations without the use of fans.
Thunderbolt CompatibleUse in Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion systems to connect up to eight SSDs through one cable with performance up to 2800 MB/s.
NVMe CompliantNo drivers required.
S.M.A.R.T. Operation
Supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting.
Adobe After Effects User?
Pro SSD Storage Performance
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 Throttling
Sonnet 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.
Simple and S.M.A.R.T.
Easy System Integration
Integrating 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.
Thunderbolt Port?
Connect Eight SSDs Through One Cable
Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe card slot? Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is ideal for use in our 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.
