Not too long ago, you had to make a choice between the two. The problem is, for many professional workflows, both are critical. Everyone knows M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs offer great performance, but limited capacity. Hard drives offer great capacity, but very slow speeds by comparison. What if you could create increased SSD capacity? We make it possible — the Sonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe® Card enables you to mount up to eight NVMe SSDs into a single x16 PCIe card slot and combine their capabilities for ultra-performance. This card can transform your workflow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuperior Storage Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstall the M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe card with your SSDs into your computer’s x16 PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0 slot to achieve superior storage performance with four SSDs configured as RAID 0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSonnet Max-Performance Design – Sonnet Advantages\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSonnet M.2 8x4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card is a full-height, full-length PCIe 4.0 card with a 48-lane PCIe 4.0 switch and x16 interface, designed to support maximum performance.
