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 — the vibrant hub of technology and engineering south of Silicon Valley — Sonnet has been at the forefront of innovation. Over the years, we've developed numerous award-winning products that enhance performance and connectivity for Mac, Windows, and other industry-standard computers. Many of our team members have been with us for over two decades, providing us with extensive expertise about our current and past offerings. If you ever need technical support for any of our products, don’t hesitate to reach out; we’re here to assist you.
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 (M1, M2, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, Intel), 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.
