Industry’s Best Cost/Performance 4x NVMe Slot PCIe x8 RAID Storage Controller
HighPoint’s third-gen SSD7204 is the industry’s best cost/performance 4-slot NVMe RAID storage. The dedicated PCIe 3.0 bandwidth can assign up to 4 lanes per NVMe SSD, and delivers over 7000 MB/s of transfer performance. Each SSD7204 controller benefits from our industry-leading NVMe RAID architecture, and can support RAID 0, 1, 1/0 and single disk configurations of to 4 M.2 NVMe SSD’s. Comprehensive device driver support and installation guides are available for all major operating system platforms including Windows 10 and Server 2019, macOS 10.15 Catalina, and leading Linux distributions.
Third-Gen NVMe RAID Architecture
Our third-generation NVMe architecture utilizes a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface to ensure broad compatibility with a wide range of hardware platforms; the SSD7204 can be easily installed into any industry standard PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 x8 or x16 slot.
Ideal for Distraction Free Working Environments
Low-noise environments are of critical importance for many media professionals. Minimizing distraction during prolonged editing sessions can dramatically improve productivity. The SSD7204’s unique fan-less cooling system combined with NVMe storage media allows for completely silent operation. When installed into a well ventilated chassis, such as a 2019 Mac Pro, the SSD7204’s full-length heat sink proved more than capable of dissipating waste hear from both the NVMe SSD’s and controller chipset components.
