Information Technology

The SSD7101A-1 is the industry's fastest NVMe M.2 RAID Controller. Designed for high-end desktop & workstation platforms, is capable of delivering transfer performance up to 8x faster than onboard NVMe solutions, and up to 44x faster than conventional SATA SSD's. The SSD7101A-1 RAID Controller's unique hardware architecture provides dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 (32Gb/s) bus bandwidth for each M.2 SSD, and unlocks the true performance potential of NVMe based storage configurations.

Shatter the DMI 3.0 Performance Bottleneck

HighPoint's SSD7101A-1 NVMe RAID Controllers deliver truly mind-blowing levels of performance! Unlike onboard DMI 3.0 based NVMe solutions, which are forced to share a single PCIe 3.0 x4 lane with the motherboard's SATA and USB ports, SSD7101A-1 RAID Controllers feature dedicated PCI 3.0 x16 bus bandwidth. This unique architecture allows the SSD's to interface directly with the platform's CPU; shattering the constrictive performance bottleneck imposed by DMI 3.0, and unlocking the true potential of your NVMe storage.

Independent, Stand-Alone NVMe SSD Solution

The SSD7101A-1 RAID controller is a truly independent NVMe RAID solution and was designed for today's high-end desktops, custom gaming PC's and media workstations. Unlike most NVMe controllers or drive solutions featured in today's marketplace, SSD7171A-1 NVMe RAID Controllers can be used with any system with a free PCIe 3.0 x16 slot running a Windows operating system or Linux distribution.

Robust, Compact & Efficient - Shield & Cool Your SSD's

It's no secret that PCIe devices can generate a great deal of heat, especially during peak operation. HighPoint is no stranger to PCIe design, and has engineered the SSD71001A-1 NVME RAID Controller to excel in high-stress environments. The all-aluminum casing naturally dissipates waste heat away from the SSD modules, and features an integrated fan and heat sink that work in conjunction to eject excess heat away from vital components and keep ambient temperatures manageable and cool.

Scale Performance across Multiple SSD7101A-1 NVMe RAID Controllers

Multiple SSD7101A-1 NMVe RAID controllers can be linked and installed into a single system, and deliver up to 25GB/s of performance - 8xfaster than NVMe drives locked behind the Intel DMI 3.0 architecture . A single SSD7101A-1 RAID controller can aggregate multiple M.2 SSD modules at PCIe x16 bandwidth, and double that when used in dual configurations!

HighPoint NVMe Manager

Each SSD7101A-1 RAID controller includes a simple, intuitive web-based management interface designed to provide a wealth of monitoring and configuration options for novice and experts alike. A Quick Configuration menu allows new users to get everything up and running with a few simple clicks.
