M.2 8x4 Silent PCIe 4.0 Card

Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card

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 8x4 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.

GEN 4 PCIE SLOT RAID 0 PERFORMANCE
Install the M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your computer’s x16 PCIe 4.0 slot to achieve superior storage performance with four SSDs configured as RAID 0.

GEN 3 PCIE SLOT RAID 0 PERFORMANCE
Install the M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your computer’s x16 PCIe 3.0 slot to achieve outstanding storage performance with four SSDs configured as RAID 0.

SONNET MAX-PERFORMANCE DESIGN
Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is a full-height full-length PCIe 4.0 card with a 48-lane PCIe 4.0 switch and x16 interface designed to support maximum performance. Sonnet M.2 8x4 card features:

- 8-lane PCIe 4.0 Switch – x16 slot bandwidth is available to all x4-connected SSDs facilitating maximum speed with any combination of M.2 SSDs used.
- Self-contained – This Sonnet card doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features – no PCIe bifurcation required.
- Universal Compatibility – Compatible with Mac Windows and Linux computers with an x16 PCIe slot.
- Broad M.2 NVMe SSD Support – Works with a wide variety of M.2 NVMe Gen4 and Gen3 SSDs.


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!
