HighPoint SSD7120 NVMe RAID Controller - PCI Express 3.0 x16 - Plug-in Card - RAID Supported - 0, 1, 5, 10 RAID Level - PC, Linux

Flexible 2.5in U.2 form factor. The U.2 ports provide customers with a great deal of flexibility when selecting an appropriate hardware platform. The connectors are compatible with a wide selection of 2.5in form-factor rackmount chassis available in todays marketplace. In addition, the industry standard SFF-8639 connectors accept cables of varying length, which allow the SSD7120 RAID controller to be easily integrated into custom chassis designs. This design simplifies field upgrades and maintenance sessions, and is ideal for chassis that require removable drive trays for quick access to storage devices. Scalable performance across multiple RAID controllers. Multiple SSD7120 NVMe RAID controllers can be linked and installed into a single system, and deliver up to 256Gb/s of performance - 8x faster than NVMe drives locked behind the Intel DMI 3.0 architecture. A single SSD7120 controller can aggregate multiple U.2 SSD s at PCIe x16 bandwidth, and double that when used in dual configurations! Dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 shatters the DMI performance bottleneck. Similar to video cards, the SSD7120 delivers dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 bus bandwidth to ensure maximum performance. Unlike onboard DMI 3.0 based NVMe solutions, which are forced to share a single PCIe 3.0 x4 lane with the motherboards SATA and USB ports, SSD7100 series RAID controllers feature dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 bus bandwidth. This unique architecture allows each SSD to interface directly with the platforms CPU; shattering the constrictive performance bottleneck imposed by DMI 3.0, and unlocking the true potential of your NVMe storage. Maximizing your NVMe RAID performance. HighPoint understands that determining the ideal PCIe configuration to maximize NVMe storage performance isnT always easy. Modern motherboards sport a plethora of expansion slots, and finding the right slot for the right card, a slot that isnT forced to share bandwidth with another PCIe device or onboard USB/SATA port, can quickly complicate the build process.
