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)
Card doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features – no PCIe bifurcation required
Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible
Works with a wide variety of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs; now also supports double-sided SSDs
Mounts up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs (sold separately) in an x16 PCIe slot; also supports double-sided SSDs.
PCI Express 3.0 x16 host bus interface plus x16 PCIe bridge; four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth devoted to each installed SSD.
Achieve sustained RAID 0 speeds up to 14,000 MB/s.
Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux RAID 0, 1, and 5 (macOS RAID 5 support requires SoftRAID software, sold separately).
Supports booting from a single (non-RAIDed) attached SSD.
Custom silent-operating cooling solution enables installed SSDs to maintain high performance during very large file transfer operations.
Use in Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion systems to connect up to four SSDs through one cable with performance up to 3000 MB/s.
No drivers required.
Supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting.
Founded in 1986 in Orange County, Southern California — long recognized as a vibrant hub of technology and engineering — Sonnet has been at the forefront of innovation for nearly four decades. We’ve introduced award-winning products that expand performance and connectivity for Mac, Windows, and other industry-standard computers. Many of our team members have been with us for more than 20 years, bringing unmatched expertise across both current and legacy products. Should you ever need technical support, you can count on our knowledgeable staff to provide the help you need.
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 4x4 PCIe Card makes it possible.
Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe card slot? Sonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card is ideal for use in one of our Thunderbolt expansion systems that accept full-length PCIe cards. The combo enables you to add up to four SSDs to any Mac, Windows, and Linux computer with Thunderbolt ports.
Integrating a Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe Card into your system is easy — NVMe compliance ensures the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The M.2 4x4 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.
