Add up to 8TB of SSD Storage!

Install Two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs into a PCIe Card Slot

If you need faster, high-capacity internal storage for your desktop computer or server, 2.5-inch SATA SSDs are the cost-effective choice. Sonnet’s Fusion™ Dual 2.5-inch SSD RAID PCIe card enables you to upgrade your system in a flash, mounting one or two SSDs (sold separately) with up to 8TB capacity(1) in a single full-length PCIe card slot, with no power or data cables, adapters, or mounting trays required.


Great 2-Drive Hardware RAID 0 Performance

Install the Sonnet Fusion card into a PCIe 3.0 slot of a computer or Thunderbolt 3 expansion system and achieve great transfer speeds up to 1000 MB/s!

Still use a Mac Pro 5,1 tower? Enjoy performance up to 800 MB/s now, and migrate the Sonnet card to the new Mac Pro (2019) to enjoy even better performance.

Fast RAID 1 Performance

Looking for the safety of a simultaneous backup? RAID 1 performance of up to 560 MB/s may be obtained with any compatible computer or expansion system.

If primary drive crashes, the mirrored drive will automatically replace the primary drive.


Hardware RAID Controller Onboard
A high performance RAID controller manages the SSDs you install, supporting Fast (RAID 0), Safe (RAID 1), Volume (Span) and, particularly important to pro audio users, JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configurations, so you can choose the mode that best suits your needs:


Fast
Choose RAID 0 for the best performance.

Safe
Choose RAID 1 for a mirrored backup of your data.

Volume
Choose Span to create a single large volume bridging both drives.

JBOD
Choose JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) to work with twice as many audio tracks.

Regardless the mode you select, changing the configuration is easy – with no software to install or jumper blocks to move around, a turn of a switch and the press of a button is all it takes.
