Unleash Maximum Storage Performance in Your Pro Workstation
In today's demanding creative and scientific workflows, storage speed is the critical factor that dictates your productivity. When you're editing 4K video, rendering complex 3D models, or processing massive datasets, slow storage creates a bottleneck that grinds your projects to a halt. If you need to add substantial internal storage capacity with unparalleled speed, the Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe Card is the definitive solution.
This silent, high-performance card allows you to mount up to four M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs into a single x16 card slot, transforming your computer's capabilities. Unlike adapter cards that compromise speed by sharing limited bandwidth, the Sonnet M.2 4x4 features a dedicated, high-performance 16-lane (x16) PCIe 3.0 bridge chip. This intelligent architecture devotes four lanes of bandwidth to each installed SSD, guaranteeing that all four drives can operate at their peak concurrent performance without interference. The result is astonishing speed—achieve sustained data transfers up to 11,700 MB/s in a RAID 0 configuration, eliminating load times and dramatically accelerating your workflow.
Designed for maximum flexibility, the M.2 4x4 card requires no specific motherboard for RAID support and works with any M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. It offers seamless compatibility across Mac Pro®, Windows®, and Linux® desktops and servers, and can even be used in a Thunderbolt™ expansion chassis. For macOS® users, you can install the operating system on a single SSD for a lightning-fast boot drive, while configuring the other three drives as an ultra-fast scratch disk or media volume. Whether you're building a powerhouse video editing suite, an instant-access media server, or a high-performance computing workstation, the Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe Card removes the storage bottleneck and unleashes your system's true potential.
