This full-height PCIe 4.0 x16 card features 4TB of total installed storage, configured with eight M.2 2280 PCIe SSDs. It delivers impressive sustained read and write speeds of 12,000 MB/s (with maximums up to 26,000 MB/s) and supports RAID 0, 1, and 5, making it ideal for professionals requiring ultra-fast data access and robust storage capabilities.
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 $1,649.99.
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.
