RAID and Compatibility: The Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card supports RAID 0 (stripe) and RAID 1 (mirror) configurations. RAID 0 allows you to maximise performance by splitting data between two SSDs, ideal for tasks requiring high speed. RAID 1, on the other hand, offers redundancy by mirroring data across both drives, providing additional security in the event of a drive failure. This flexibility is crucial for users who need to balance performance and data security. The card is compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux, and requires no additional drivers thanks to its NVMe support, making it easy to integrate into any environment.

Design and Installation: The card's design allows for easy, straightforward installation into a PCIe slot, eliminating the need for complicated BIOS configurations or hardware settings. No PCIe branching is required, further simplifying integration into a variety of systems, whether in advanced workstations or servers. Its fanless design enables quiet operation, while U.2 SSDs integrate advanced heat dissipation capabilities, keeping operating temperatures under control and ensuring consistent, reliable performance during extended tasks.

Thunderbolt compatibility:  For users of systems with Thunderbolt ports, the card can be installed in a Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion system, allowing two NVMe U.2 SSDs to be connected to any Mac, Windows or Linux with Thunderbolt ports. This is ideal for notebook and compact device users who need to expand their high-speed storage without compromising mobility.Transfer speeds can reach up to 2800 MB/s, providing a robust and fast solution for media editing and other applications that demand high performance.

Support and monitoring: The card supports S.M.A.R.T. technology for SSD health monitoring, allowing users to monitor the health and performance of their storage drives in real time. This monitoring capability is essential to maintaining data integrity and preventing failures before they occur. In addition, Sonnet offers lifetime technical support, ensuring that users have access to expert assistance whenever they need it, adding an additional level of confidence and security to their investment in this technology

 

The Sonnet Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe Card is especially useful for professionals in video editing, 3D modelling, scientific simulations and other applications that require fast, high-capacity storage. Its ability to handle large amounts of data efficiently makes it an essential tool for optimising intensive workflows that demand superior performance.

Ultimately, the Sonnet Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe card combines capacity, speed and ease of use, providing a robust solution to meet advanced storage needs in a variety of professional environments.
