Ultra-speed Data Transfers

If you need to add internal storage to your computer and ultra high-speed data transfers are critical to your work, you need an NVMe SSD-based upgrade. Individually, M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer tremendous performance, but Sonnet’s M.2 4×4 PCIe Card enables you to mount up to four of them into a single x16 card slot and combine their performance. No matter how you use it, this card can transform the way you work.

Mac Pro RAID 0 Performance

Install the M.2 4×4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your 2023 or 2019 Mac Pro to achieve superior storage performance.

Full Performance Design – Sonnet Advantages

Sonnet’s M.2 4×4 PCIe Card is a full-height, full-length PCIe 3.0 card with a 16-lane (x16) interface, designed to support full performance from four SSDs. Unlike “similar” adapter cards, Sonnet’s M.2 4×4 card features:

x16 PCIe Bridge

Devotes four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth to every SSD you install (instead of limiting the x4 bandwidth to two SSDs at a time)

Universal Compatibility

Mac®, Windows, and Linux compatible

Self-contained

Card doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features – no PCIe bifurcation required

M.2 PCIe SSD Support

Works with a wide variety of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs; now also supports double-sided SSDs

Adobe After Effects User?

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’s M.2 4×4 PCIe Card makes it possible.

Silent and Cool Running

No Slowdowns. No Thermal Throttling.

SSDs heat up significantly when performing very large file transfers. This presents a problem for most competing cards, as they provide inadequate cooling for this task and allow installed SSDs to activate their built-in thermal throttling protection feature — thermal throttling drastically cuts SSDs’ performance while allowing them to cool. Sonnet designed the M.2 4×4 PCIe Card with a silent cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling, enabling SSDs to maintain their high performance at all times.

Simple and S.M.A.R.T

Integrating a Sonnet M.2 4×4 PCIe Card into your system is easy — NVMe compliance ensures the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The M.2 4×4 uses the operating systems’ 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.
