Description
Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card
Eight M.2 NVMe SSD Slots on a PCIe 4.0 x16 Card
Add Your Own M.2 NVMe SSDs

Add up to 64TB of SSD Storage In One Card Slot!
Ultra-fast Gen4 SSD Data Transfers
Speed 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 8×4 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.




One Slot. One Card. 64TB of Fast NVMe Storage.

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 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card makes it possible.

Not Quiet…Silent
Sonnet Silent Cooling Thwarts Thermal Throttling
Sonnet designed the M.2 8×4 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 Cable
Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe card slot? Sonnet M.2 8×4 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.

Easy System Integration
Integrating a Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card into your system is easy — NVMe compliance ensures the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The M.2 8×4 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.
