Supercharge Your Workflow with the Sonnet Fusion Dual 2.5-inch SSD RAID Card
For creative professionals, gamers, and power users, slow storage is a workflow killer. The Sonnet Fusion™ Dual 2.5-inch SSD RAID PCIe card is the definitive solution, designed to deliver a massive boost in storage speed and capacity directly through a single PCIe slot. This intelligently engineered card allows you to install two of your own 2.5-inch SATA SSDs (up to 8TB total), creating a high-performance internal storage array without the clutter of extra power or data cables. The streamlined, all-in-one design ensures a clean and effortless installation in your Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® tower.
At its core, a powerful hardware RAID controller gives you complete control over your data. Unleash breathtaking performance by configuring your SSDs in a RAID 0 (stripe) set, achieving data transfer speeds up to 1000 MB/s. This extreme velocity is perfect for 4K video editing, complex audio projects, and large file transfers, dramatically reducing load times and rendering delays. For those who prioritize data integrity, a RAID 1 (mirror) configuration provides real-time data redundancy, creating an instant backup of your critical files and protecting you against drive failure. The card also offers Span and JBOD modes for maximum volume flexibility.
The Fusion Dual SSD RAID card is more than just a storage solution—it’s a connectivity powerhouse. We’ve integrated a SuperSpeed 10Gbps USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) port directly onto the card's bracket, saving you a valuable PCIe slot. This port supports data transfers from connected drives at up to 1000 MB/s and provides 15W of bus power, strong enough to run high-performance external SSDs, hubs, and other demanding peripherals without needing an extra power adapter. If your computer relies on Thunderbolt™, the card is fully compatible with Sonnet's Echo™ and xMac™ expansion systems, bringing this dual-functionality upgrade to a wider range of machines.
