HighPoint PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID Gen4 SSD7500 Series Controller Series Support Up to 28GB/s

HighPoint Technologies, Inc. announces Gen4 SSD7500 series deliver a fast NVMe transfer performance.

The released SSD7500 Series of PCIe 4.0 NVMe RAID controllers are capable of delivering 28,000MB/s from 4xNVMe SSD’s, doubling the performance capabilities of Gen3 NVMe solutions.

Thecontrollers are not stop-gap solutions or upwards-compatible NVMe adapters – they are next-gen NVMe RAID controllers. Designed to take advantage of PCIe 4.0 bus bandwidth and powered by a dedicated Gen4 NVMe architecture and RAID technology, these RAID controllers ensure customers can experience the real-world performance capabilities of native PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage.

For Native PCIe 4.0 Hardware Platforms
Some customers have been wary to adopt PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD’s, and the reasons are clear – early performance tests have failed to illustrate the advantages of Gen4 NVMe technology. Many of the PCIe 4.0 solutions in today’s marketplace have not been tuned for real-world hardware platforms, and in many cases, have to rely on 3rd party technology to support RAID configurations. If examined further, many of the current PCIe 4.0 solutions are, in reality, accessories restricted to a particular motherboard, or simply HBAs, and not true RAID controllers.

SSD7500 NVMe RAID controllers were developed for PCIe 4.0 hardware platforms. Unlike competing adapters or RAID solutions, they were designed to take advantage of the massive transfer bandwidth provided by x16 PCIe 4.0 host connectivity, and have been extensively tuned to excel in AMD-based computing platforms. They feature integrated PCIe 4.0 NVMe switch technology, which ensures each SSD is allocated x4 lanes of transfer bandwidth. The company’s NVMe RAID IP was developed in house, by hardware and software engineers that have decades of storage industry experience.

Independent NVMe RAID solutions
These controllers are independent NVMe RAID solutions. Unlike many competing NVMe storage products, these controllers do not require motherboard platforms with Bifurcation support, or any specialized software released by SSD manufactures; any AMD-based system with a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can now take advantage of this fast storage solution.

The firm’s NVMe RAID stack has been tuned for high-end workstation and server environments, and utilize today’s multi-core processors to maximize the performance potential of Gen4 NVMe storage.

Cooling solution ensures sustained Gen 4 transfer performance
Maximizing Gen4 NVMe storage performance without the proper implementation of modern cooling apparatus is a risky proposition.

This is especially true for Gen4 M.2 configurations. PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD generate considerable heat under heavy load, and these SSDs are often housed directly within the NVMe solution itself; outside the reach of the platform’s cooling fans. To combat the threat of overheating, the SSD7505 employs a new proven NVMe cooling system. The firm’s low-noise hyper-cooling solution ensures M.2 NVMe SSDs operate within their recommended temperature thresholds, even under sustained I/O, by combining a full-length anodized aluminum heat sink with a durable, near-silent fan, and high-conductivity thermal pad. This cooling system rapidly transfers waste heat away from critical NVMe and controller componentry, without introducing unwanted distraction into work environment.

Platform support
SSD7500 series NVME RAID controllers can be integrated into any modern computer platform. They are compatible with all major OS platforms including Linux distributions, macOS and Windows, and are backwards compatible with Intel PCIe Gen 3 platforms. In addition the SSD7505 M.2 RAID controller can be used to configure bootable RAID or single NVMe SSD configurations for Windows and Linux systems.

Compatible with Gen4 and Gen3 Storage Media: SSD7505 can maximize performance
of any Gen 4 SSD configuration in today’s marketplace
SSD7500 controllers are also bandwidth upgrades for Gen3 SSDs. For applications that require transfer speeds between 15,000 and 24,000MB/s, customers can pair SSD7500 series RAID controllers with Gen3 NVMe SSD’s. The PCIe 4.0 bandwidth ensures maximum performance for both RAID and non-RAID storage configurations, and the Gen3 SSD’s offer as much as 25% savings over equivalent Gen 4 models.
