Expand your computer's storage capacity by installing the M.2 4x4 Silent PCIe 3.0 x16 Card from Sonnet into an available PCI express x16 slot. There are four M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe sockets built onto this card, supporting up to 32TB of double-sided solid-state storage in RAID 0, 1, or 5 configurations. Sustained read speeds can reach up to 11,700 MB/s and with a 11,600 MB/s maximum write speed in RAID 0 mode using a 2019 Mac Pro, providing the performance needed for demanding tasks such as video editing, 3D modeling, design, and more. A custom designed passive, silent cooling solution allows drives to maintain high performance during large file transfers without speed throttling. The self-contained card works with most motherboards with an available PCIe 3.0 x16 slot using macOS, Windows 10, and Linux operating systems alongside a wide variety of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs.
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 $299.99.
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.
