Product description
The Most Economical Way To Add Ultra-Fast, Extra-Large Capacity SSD Storage (62TB)
The Sonnet Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card is Perfect for Your 2023 Mac Pro.
Do you need more storage capacity for your computer? Is super high-speed throughput plus maximum IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) performance critical to your work? U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs deliver both. Sonnet’s Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card enables you to upgrade your system in a flash, mounting two enterprise class U.2 SSDs (sold separately) with up to 62TB or greater capacity in a single full-length x16 PCIe card slot, with no separate power or data cables, drive adapters, or mounting trays required.
Fantastic RAID 0 Performance
Install the Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card with your SSDs into your system and configure the SSDs as a RAID 0 set for even greater storage performance.
Install into any compatible x16 PCIe slot—no PCIe bifurcation required
Universal Compatibility, Self-contained Operation
Mac, Windows, and Linux compatible, the Sonnet card doesn’t require a specific motherboard to operate or specific SSDs to support RAID features—no PCIe bifurcation is required.
High Capacities
Many U.2 SSDs are now available in capacities up to 31TB — perfect for storing large video projects—with higher capacity models on the horizon. Sonnet’s Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card will support bigger SSDs as they become available.
Fantastic RAID 0 Performance
Install the Fusion U.2 SSD PCIe card with your SSDs into your system and configure the SSDs as a RAID 0 set for even greater storage performance, with sustained data transfers up to 6,250 MB/s possible.
Enterprise Class Performance & Capacities
Choose Your Own U.2 SSDs (sold separately)
U.2 SSDs look like 2.5-inch SATA drives — they even share the same general dimensions and mounting screw hole placement, but their connectors are different, and so is their performance. Unlike SATA drives, U.2 NVMe SSDs interface with your computer’s PCIe bus, enabling them to perform seven times as fast.
How fast? Current PCIe 3.0 U.2 SSDs deliver sustained performance of up to 3500 MB/s read and 3,500 MB/s write, or about 7x the performance of the fastest SATA SSDs.
