Unleash Ultimate Workstation Performance with the 5-in-1 McFiver PCIe Card
Are you facing the professional's dilemma: a critical need for more speed and connectivity but a shortage of valuable PCIe slots? Adding high-performance M.2 NVMe SSD storage, a 10Gb Ethernet port, and fast 10Gbps USB-C ports often means making tough choices about which card to sacrifice. Sonnet has engineered the definitive all-in-one solution: the McFiver™ PCIe® Card. This groundbreaking, professional-grade adapter consolidates five essential interfaces onto a single, full-height PCIe card, delivering a massive performance and connectivity upgrade for your Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® computer tower or Thunderbolt™ expansion chassis.
At its heart, the McFiver is a storage powerhouse. Its dual M.2 NVMe SSD slots empower you to install up to 16TB of blazing-fast solid-state storage. Configure them in a RAID 0 set for staggering data transfer speeds up to 6600 MB/s—perfect for 8K video editing, complex data analysis, or a lightning-fast scratch disk. A custom-engineered, silent heat sink ensures your SSDs operate at peak performance without thermal throttling, even during the most demanding tasks. This isn't just storage; it's sustained, professional-grade speed you can rely on.
Beyond storage, the McFiver transforms your network capabilities. The integrated 10GBASE-T Ethernet port allows you to connect to high-speed networks and NAS devices, transferring massive files in seconds, not minutes. With NBASE-T technology, it's also backward-compatible, boosting performance up to 5x over existing Cat 5e cabling. To complete this versatile package, the card features two high-performance 10Gbps USB-C ports. Critically, each port is backed by its own dedicated controller, guaranteeing full, uncompromised bandwidth for your fastest SSDs, hubs, and other peripherals. Stop compromising and start creating with the ultimate single-slot expansion solution.
