Ultra-speed Data Transfers

If you need to add internal storage to your computer and ultra high-speed data transfers are critical to your work, you need an NVMe SSD-based upgrade. Individually, M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer tremendous performance, but Sonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card enables you to mount up to four of them into a single x16 card slot and combine their performance. No matter how you use it, this card can transform the way you work.

Mac Pro RAID 0 Performance

Install the M.2 4x4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your 2019 Mac Pro to achieve superior storage performance. If you’re one of the many still using 2010 or 2012 Mac Pro, install the Sonnet card plus SSDs to obtain performance you never thought possible!

Performance based on ATTO Disk Benchmark (available on the Apple® App Store) test results with Samsung® 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSDs with 64MB transfer size. See our M.2 4x4 Performance PDF for additional benchmarks and details.

Full Performance Design – Sonnet Advantages

Sonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card is a full-height, full-length PCIe 3.0 card with a 16-lane (x16) interface, designed to support full performance from four SSDs. Unlike “similar” adapter cards, Sonnet's M.2 4x4 card features:

x16 PCIe Bridge

Devotes four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth to every SSD you install (instead of limiting the x4 bandwidth to two SSDs at a time)

Self-contained

Card doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features – no PCIe bifurcation required

Universal Compatibility

Mac®, Windows, and Linux compatible

Adobe After Effects User?

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! Sonnet's M.2 4x4 PCIe Card makes it possible.

Silent and Cool Running

No Slowdowns. No Thermal Throttling.

SSDs heat up significantly when performing very large file transfers. This presents a problem for most competing cards, as they provide inadequate cooling for this task and allow installed SSDs to activate their built-in thermal throttling protection feature — thermal throttling drastically cuts SSDs’ performance while allowing them to cool. Sonnet designed the M.2 4x4 PCIe Card with a silent cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling, enabling SSDs to maintain their high performance at all times.

Thunderbolt Port? Connect Four SSDs Through One Cable

Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe card slot? Sonnet’s M.2 4x4 PCIe Card is ideal for use in one of our Thunderbolt expansion systems that accept full-length PCIe cards. The combo enables you to add up to four SSDs to any Mac (M1, M2, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, Intel), Windows, and Linux computer with Thunderbolt ports.

Simple and S.M.A.R.T

Integrating a Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe Card into your system is easy — NVMe compliance ensures the necessary drivers are installed automatically. The M.2 4x4 uses the operating systems’ built-in drive formatting utilities to format the SSDs. SSD health monitoring is supported through S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting, too.
