HighPoint SSD7140A is our second generation high port count (HPC) M.2 NVMe RAID controller, and was designed for professional applications that require a small-footprint, mass-storage NVMe solution that can take full advantage of PCIe 3.0 x16 transfer bandwidth. Our performance-focused NVMe RAID architecture ensures that up to x4 lanes can be assigned to each device channel to ensure maximum transfer throughput – ideal for professional media workstation and server environments designed to support a wide range of editing, rendering, capture and streaming applications.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $729.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
SSDs have a finite number of write cycles, usually measured in Terabytes Written (TBW). For average consumers, this limit takes many years to reach.
