Double Your Storage Capacity and Maximize Write Performance for PCIe 3.0 x16 Host Connectivity

Over 120TB @ 14,000 MB/S!

HighPoint high port count (HPC) NVMe RAID controllers are ideal for professional applications that require a small-footprint, mass-storage NVMe solution that can take full advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x16 transfer bandwidth. This performance-focused NVMe RAID architecture ensures that up to x4 lanes can be assigned to each device channel, and deliver up to 14,000 MB/s of transfer performance - ideal for professional media workstation and server environments designed to support a wide range of editing, rendering, capture and streaming applications.

HighPoint HPC U.2 NVMe Controllers allow customers to complete saturate the PCIe 3.0 bus-bandwidth with write performance over 14,000MB/s, while simultaneously supporting up to 120TB of storage capacity!

Massive Storage Capacity

Each high port count RAID controller features eight independent M.2 or U.2 channels, and can support from 16TB up to 120TB of storage capacity configured to act as independent drives or into one or more RAID 0, 1 or 10 arrays.

No other NVMe controllers in today's marketplace can match the massive storage capability, blazing fast transfer rates or flexibility in such a compact package.

Truly Platform Independent NVMe RAID Solution

HighPoint high port count series NVMe RAID controllers are truly independent NVMe storage solutions. Unlike most NVMe devices in today's marketplace, which are tied to a specific hardware platform or brand of SSD or motherboard, SSD7000 series controllers do not require a hardware environment with Bifurcation support, or any specialized software released by SSD manufacturers; any AMD or Intel motherboard with a dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can now support more than 120TB of NVMe storage, and experience sustained write performance in excess of 10GB/s via a single compact PCIe device.

True NVMe Surprise Add and Remove Capability!

The SSD7580B Incorporates True NVMe Surprise Add & Remove Capability

Hot-Swap capability a true boon for NVMebased storage solutions, and is especially useful for servicing NVMe storage solutions and appliances in the field. Hot-swap can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for downtime. The SSD7580B allows administrators to add remove or replace NVMe SSDs without powering down the host platform, on the fly.
NVMe drives, though considerably more reliable than their platter counterparts, still must be replaced on a regular basis when employed by many datacenter or industrial applications, where storage devices are expected to remain active for extended periods of time, including truly grueling 24/7/365 workflows. NVMe media's one weakness is the finite write cycle; M.2 SSDs in particular can rapidly reach their TBW limitations in such environments. TBW expiration requires disk replacement, which results in downtime - this is the advantage of hot-swap capability.

True Hot-Swap: Not just Hot-Plug or Hot Replaceable

In the past, replacing an NVMe SSD meant powering down the entire system. More recent solutions may employ Hot-Plug capability; the ability to recognize drives added for specific tasks- such as rebuilding an array, or support Hot-Replaceable drives; an unused SSD that is already connected to the controller can be used to rebuild an array). However, both of these methods still require a restart in order for the operating system to recognize the hardware changes.
However, the SSD7580B's hot-swap capability works exactly like you expect it to. The SSD7580B allows customers to add or remove drives on the fly, as necessity demands. This includes RAID and single-drive configurations. The controller will notify the system of any changes in real time - no reboot is required. The host system can remain active throughout the procedure.

Versatile Cabling Options: Hot-Swap Enabled

The SSD7580B's Hot-Plug capability works with a variety of industry standard connectors - not just SFF-8639, which is employed directly by U.2 media. We offer a selection of PCIe Gen4 capable cabling accessories capable of supporting hot-swappable storage configurations, including SFF-8643 connections and SFF-8611 Oculink backplanes. This allows the SSD7580B to support any industry standard U.2 or M.2 NVMe SSD.

Cross-Sync Compatible - Double Your Storage Capability

In addition to Hot-Swap support, the SSD7580B is Cross-Sync compatible. This enables customers to configure dual SSD7580B controllers to function as a single RAID device, and support up to 16 U.2/M.2 NVMe SSDs in one or more RAID arrays. Such combinations are capable of supporting truly extreme levels of performance and storage capability - over 200TB of storage @ 40,000 MB/s!

Comprehensive NVMe RAID Technology

RAID 1/0 (Security & Speed) - Unique to HighPoint NVMe RAID solutions, RAID 1/0 (also known as RAID 10) requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSD's - it will mirror the data of one stripe array to a second, hidden stripe array for security. RAID 1/0 is capable of delivering read performance on par with RAID 0, and is superior to RAID 5 for NVMe applications. Unlike RAID 5, RAID 1/0 doesn't necessitate additional parity related write operations, which reduce the TBW life span of NVMe SSD's.

RAID 0 (Speed) - Also known as a "stripe" array, this mode delivers Maximum Performance, and requires a minimum of 2 NVMe SSD's.

RAID 1 (Security) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and requires 2 NVMe SSD's to configure. RAID 1 is ideal for bootable volumes.

SSD7505: Bootable RAID Support for Windows and Linux

The SSD7505 can be used to configure bootable RAID or single NVMe SSD configurations for Windows and Linux systems. Optional UEFI downloads and complete installation guides are available for each supported platform.
