Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card
Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card
is the latest model of Sonnet card enabling the installation of up to eight PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD drives. The Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is designed for the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, so you can achieve transfer rates of up to 30,000 MB/s. The card is backwards compatible with the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, achieving transfer rates of up to 14,000 MB/s. The card is equipped with silent, passive cooling. It is compatible with Double-sided SSD drives
Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card
Maximum speed of NVMe drives! Also compatible with the latest Mac Pro 2023!
Eight M.2 NVMe SSD slots in one PCIe 4.0 x16 card
Up to 64 TB of SSD storage in one card slot!
Ultra-fast data transfers on Gen4 SSD drives
– speed or capacity?
Until recently, you had to make a choice between these two factors. The problem is that for many professional applications, both of these factors are critical.
Everyone knows that M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer great performance but limited capacity. Hard drives offer large capacity but very slow speeds compared to SSDs.
What if it was possible to increase the capacity of SSD drives? The Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card makes it possible! Mount up to eight NVMe SSDs in a single PCIe x16 card slot and combine their capabilities for ultra-performance
Highest storage performance
Install an M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card along with SSDs in the x16 PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0 slot of your computer to get excellent storage performance with four SSDs configured as RAID 0.
(SSDs are sold separately. Performance will vary depending on the type and number of SSDs used, the host computer's processor speed, and the PCIe card slot architecture.)
Sonnet Max-Performance Design – Sonnet advantages
The Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is a full height PCIe 4.0 card with a 48-lane PCIe 4.0 switch and x16 interface, designed for maximum performance.
Features of the Sonnet M.2 8×4 card
- 48-lane PCIe 4.0 Switch – x16 slot bandwidth is available to all connected x4 SSDs, making it easy to achieve maximum speed with any combination of M.2 SSDs used.
- Universal - This Sonnet card does not require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSD drives to support RAID - no PCIe bifurcation required.
- Universal compatibility – compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux computers with a PCIe x16 slot.
- Wide M.2 NVMe SSD support – Works with a wide range 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 work at 4Kp60 in 32-bit linear mode, or even 4Kp24 with a large number of EXR channels (or effects in 8K) where your computer's built-in memory can't keep up! The Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card makes this possible.
Not quiet…very quiet!
Silent Sonnet cooling prevents thermal throttling
Sonnet designed the M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card with an effective passive cooling solution - instead of relying on fans, which can be noisy, Sonnet's silent cooling effectively prevents thermal throttling, allowing SSDs to maintain consistent peak performance without annoying fan noise.
Thunderbolt port?
Connect eight SSDs with one cable – Do you have a Thunderbolt connector but no PCIe card slot? The Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card is ideal for use in our Echo I Desktop PCIe Expansion System. This combination allows you to effectively add up to eight SSDs to any Mac (M Series or Intel), Windows or Linux computer with Thunderbolt ports.
Simplicity and SMART
Easy system integration – Integrating the Sonnet M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card into your system is easy – NVMe compatibility ensures automatic installation of the necessary drivers. The M.2 8×4 card uses SSD formatting tools built into your computer's operating system. SSD health monitoring is also supported by SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting.
