What's in the box

  • Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe Card (Silent)
  • Drive mounting screws
  • Documentation

    • Product Description

    Install up to Four M.2 NVMe SSDs into a PCIe Card Slot – Ultra-speed Data Transfers!

    NEW - Silent Model

    Add your own SSDs up to 32TB

    NEW - Silent Model - Now Supports Double-sided SSDs

    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.

    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, the M.2 4x4:

    • Features a 16-lane (x16) and 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)
    • Works with a wide variety of single- and double-sided M.2 PCIe SSDs
    • Is self-contained and doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features; no PCIe bifurcation required

    Key Features

    Superior Performance

    No Thermal Throttling

    Add up to 32TB Ultra-fast Storage

    High-Performance PCIe Interface

    Superior Performance

    Achieve sustained RAID 0 speeds up to 11,700 MB/s. Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux RAID 0, 1, and 5

    No Thermal Throttling

    Custom silent-operating cooling solution enables installed SSDs to maintain high performance during very large file transfer operations.

    Add up to 32TB Ultra-fast Storage

    Mounts up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs (sold separately) in an x16 PCIe slot; also supports double-sided SSDs.

    High-Performance PCIe Interface

    PCI Express 3.0 x16 host bus interface plus x16 PCIe bridge; four lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth devoted to each installed SSD.

    Mac Pro RAID 0 Performance

    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.

    *Performance based on ATTO Disk Benchmark

    Mac Pro RAID 0 Performance

    Mac Pro RAID 0 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!

    Install Four M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs in a Single x16 card Slot

    Mac & Windows Compatible

    Mac, Windows, and Linux Compatible

    Use the Sonnet card for instant-access media storage or as a high-performance scratch disk in your Mac Pro tower; Windows or Linux PC desktop or server; or Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion system with an available x16 PCIe slot. 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! Legacy Mac users can install macOS on one SSD to create an incredibly fast boot drive and create a RAID 0 set with the other installed SSDs and still obtain blazing-fast performance. No matter how you use it, this card can transform the way you work.

    Major Speed improvement on a 2009 Mac Pro Tower
    Major Speed improvement on my flashed 2009 Mac Pro Tower that has Dual 6-Core 3.46GHz Xeons, 48GB 1333MHz RAM running Mojave after moving my 1TB ADATA APG SX8200 Pro NVMe SSD onto this card. Benchmark photos show a "Before" using a generic 4x PCIe to NVMe adapter, then "After" using the Sonnet Fusion card. So fast, I may not even bother doing a RAID setup by moving the boot back to the 4X adapter and setting up 4 identical NVMe SSDs, but it's an option later, especially if larger NVMe SSD prices start to drop.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great in 2019 Mac Pro
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Couple of unexpected "hoops" to jump through during install -- you have to put thermal pads down, which added an extra ~10 minutes or so to the install. It works great though, and the outcome is fantastic read/write speeds for my 2019 Mac Pro.

    I *might* prefer the fan version, if it didn't require any thermal pads, but really can't complain. Only other gripe is with macOS, it doesn't let you make the RAID array your boot drive [and it's a PITA to cleanly get Applications dir onto the RAID'd drive, too] -- but that's really 100% on macOS, not the maker of this excellent product.

    Would buy it again, 100%.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend. Damaged my cards
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    from what I can tell, this card is not compatible with the 2023 M2 Ultra Mac Pro. I would love to have found a 16x PCIE NVME card, but this is not the one.

    initially it was easy to setup. Ran immediately, cards recognized with zero problem and soft raid formatted the cards easily into a raid, but repeatedly the NVME cards would fail.... Hard, Completely non functional in two slots. Exchanged this adapter card (a couple of times so I doubt it was just a manufacturing defect, more like a design flaw), replaced the NVME cards also and installed them on the now new Sonnet adapter, ran for a few weeks with no problem, and very fast, but it failed again and again. Wash rinse repeat.

    I've destroyed no less than six Samsung 990's trying to make this work, but it has to be the adapter card. I've been using OWC's adapter cards in my 8 x slots and they had not given me a lick of grief, so I purchased two more and have been using my 990's without headache for a while. Too bad the OWC cards only run at 8x and do not take full advantage of the 16X slot. Honestly it's fast enough, but on a $10k machine you'd expect to get the max out of it, No?

    Again I loved how fast this card is, but if it's going to freak out and make 2 cards unreadable every month, it's dangerous at best.

    M2 Ultra Mac Pro user will want to look elsewhere IMO.

    Very nice well made card. Also liked the thermal pads as they cover both sides of your NVME SSD. Once it was all slapped together my Mac had no issues detecting the card/drives and setting up RAID was a breeze. I used 4 Samsung EVO+ 2TB drives stripped in a single RAID 0 partition. R/W are well over 6GB a sec and might get faster if and when I upgrade my CPU.

    Very happy!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this to increase the high speed storage capability in a 2019 Mac Pro (especially considering how NVME prices have continued coming down). This card is plug-n-play straightforward with adding NVME's (Sonnet has a compatibility document on their site) including the thing with the thermal pads (mine was missing the pad for double sided NVME's but I'm using only single sided ones so it wasn't an issue).

    The NVME's do show up as external drives so if you want to setup one of them as a boot drive (which has to be non-RAID), you do need to boot into recovery mode and go into the startup security utility to allow booting from external or removable devices. I have mine booting up from this (I left the factory setup on the T2 flash drive for emergency purposes).

    Die Sonnett Karte ist OK. Jedoch muss bei der Wahl des NVMe Speichers aufgepasst werden.
    Die 1GB Samsung 970 EvoPlus haben auf dem Mac Pro im Bootcamp Modus bei W11(22H2) zu Problemen geführt.

    Installata su Mac Pro 2010. Ottimo prodotto, funziona benissimo e a differenza di quelle con la ventola (una l’ho restituita) non emette nessun rumore in quanto il raffreddamento è passivo ovvero sfrutta i flussi d’aria generati dalle ventole del computer. Veramente soddisfatto! Ottimo prodotto, forse solo il prezzo è un pochino altro però la qualità è ottima

    Cette carte dispose d'un switch PCI Express Gen3 de Broadcom : PEX 8732 32-lane, 8-Port PCI Express Gen 3 (8.0 GT/s) Switch => il y a bien 4 voies PCIe par disque.

    Dans l'OS la carte présente bien 4 disques SSD indépendants. Vous pouvez dédier un disque pour le boot et les 3 autres en raid par exemple.

    Ce n'est pas une carte RAID matériel. Vous devez disposer d'un logiciel de raid si vous le souhaitez.
    Il n'y a pas de logiciel raid fournit, et tant mieux, ça augmenterait le prix. Perso j'utilise ZFS sur un FreeBSD. Le disk utility d'un Mac pourra vous faire du RAID 0 et/ou 1 Linux et Windows peuvent les gerer également.

    Si cette carte est installé dans un PC ou un Mac pro pas besoin de bifurcation PCI Express sur la carte mère.
