Expand your computer's storage capacity by installing the M.2 2x4 Low Profile PCIe 3.0 x8 Card from Sonnet into an available PCI express x8 slot. There are two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 sockets built onto this card, supporting up to 16TB of separately purchased double-sided solid-state storage in RAID 0, or 1 configurations. Sustained read speeds can reach up to 6600 MB/s in RAID 0 mode, providing the performance needed for demanding tasks such as video editing, 3D modeling, design, and more. A custom designed passive, silent cooling solution allows drives to maintain high performance during large file transfers without speed throttling. The self-contained card works with most motherboards with an available PCIe 3.0 x8 slot using macOS, Windows 10, and Linux operating systems alongside a wide variety of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs.

Sonnet FUS-SSD-2X4-E3S Reviews
DO NOT BUY! Complete waste of money and time.
There are absolutely NO advantages to pick up this card instead of a no-name one from China. It does NOT deliver on the advertised speeds. Regardless of populating with either a single or two NVMEs, the write speed is consistently 100Mb/s SLOWER than the $29 dumb OWC 1M2 cards I also have in my Sonnet Thunderbolt 3 enclosure. All testing done with the same WD Digital Black SN750 NVME.) Running as a RAID, the Sonnet card was no faster. To put this in perspective, Sonnet states on their website (on their M.2 Compatibility chart) that this same memory slab achieved 2900 Mb/s (non-RAID) Write in their enclosure. The reason I purchased the Sonnet card is because I logically expected that all the extra electronics on their card (as opposed to the OWC dumb one) would unlock the true speed of the WD slab. Nope! Nothing do with any TB3 bandwidth restrictions as I also purchase a WD Digital SN780X and it runs at 2800Mb/s right out of the box no matter which card it is installed on.
