Style: SSD7101A-1


Size: Individual Retail


Configuration: RAID M.2


Features

  • Dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 bus bandwidth
  • Dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth for Each NVMe M.2 SSD
  • Over 8x faster than NVMe storage locked behind Intel DMI 3.0
  • Independent, stand-alone NVMe SSD solution

Description

Unlock the true performance of NVMe SSD's: the SSD7101A-1 is capable of delivering performance over 8X faster than onboard NVMe solutions, & over 40X faster than SATA SSD's. The unique architecture provides dedicated PCIe 3.0 X4 (32GB/s) bandwidth for each M.2 SSD, & unlocks the true performance potential of NVMe based storage configurations. Shatter the DMI 3.0 performance bottleneck: unlike onboard DMI 3.0 NVMe solutions which share a single PCIe 3.0 X4 lane with SATA & USB ports, the SSD7101A-1 features dedicated PCI 3.0 X16 bandwidth that enable each M.2 SSD to interface directly with the CPU. Independent, stand-alone solution: the SSD7101A-1 RAID controller was designed for today's high-end desktops, media workstations & custom gaming PC's; any Windows/Linux system with a free PCIe 3.0 X16 slot! shield & cool your SSD's: the all-aluminum casing naturally dissipates heat away from the SSD's & features an integrated fan & heat sink to safeguard vital components. Scale performance across multiple SSD7101A-1 NVMe RAID controllers: a single SSD7101A-1 RAID controller can aggregate multiple M.2 SSD modules at PCIe X16 bandwidth, & double that when used in dual configurations! integrated trim, Smart, & TBW monitoring: trim promotes the longevity & endurance of NVMe storage by streamlining Garbage collection, which minimizes write speed degradation. Smart monitoring allows you to quickly CHECK physical attributes of M.2 SSD's, including temperature, VOLTAGE & TBW.

    • the SSD7101A-1 is the best M. 2 RAID card on the market
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: Individual Retail Configuration: RAID M.2
In my opinion, the SSD7101A-1 is the best M.2 RAID card on the market. Primarily, I use this as workspace for rendering projects. It has proven to be a great investment and has seriously cut down production time. While performing multiple tests with Samsung 970 EVO’s I was able to repeatedly document numbers in the range of 13,000 MB/s. Real world use is unbelievable – it’s amazing how fast this card is for the price. I should add, the card also works with Kingston drives and likely any other NVMe drive currently available - it is not limited to Samsung. Some may be confused by some of the ads/marketing released for this controller (it does not include SSD’s like the rSSD versions). Also, the card is not bootable. It is designed for high performance apps, rather than to support a system’s boot drive. Honestly, this kind of speed would be wasted on something so basic. A single onboard NVMe drive or even SATA SSD would be a better option for booting the OS. One thing you will have to look out for is the need to have 16 lanes available for the maximum performance. You will need a system/motherboard capable of reserving 16x lanes just for this card, otherwise you will seriously handicap the speed. No worries if you aren’t a major DIYer - the included RAID software has an easy method of checking if you are connected to a x16 slot, or not. ... show more

    • Works great with the 2019 Mac Pro!
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: Individual Retail Configuration: RAID M.2
Everything was a breeze to install and worked immediately. You are also able to lower the onboard fan speed to LOW which makes the fan nearly silent. My temps stay around 95F, well below the max of 138F on the samsung 970

    • Ran fine for two months, then lost sight of all of the drives. Vendor finally solved it.
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: Individual Retail Configuration: RAID M.2
I purchased this card because I wanted to provide some real-time backup for my work files. Everything installed without issue and it ran well in RAID 10 with four SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB drives on an AMD Threadripper system with an AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard. Then, one day, the card simply lost sight of all of its drives. I opened a help ticket with the vendor on 1/23. They responded on 1/26 requesting logs, which I sent right away. It is now 2/13 and I've heard nothing back. PostScript: on 2/17, after submitting a request for return authorization, a second technician responded. This time he provided updated software for the card and asked me to uninstall/reinstall the software as a first step. This worked. The card came alive again, could see all of my drives, and no data was lost. It took a while to get through to the right people, but all's well that ends well. I'm not as confident in this card as I would like to be, but at least I have a way to get it back if it happens again and nothing was lost except time. ... show more

When Apple's Mojave macOS included an upgrade to the Firmware/ROM BIOS of my Mac Pro 5,1 (with this Firmware/BIOS upgrade, my Mac Pro 5,1 Model now has a Boot ROM Version of 140.0.0.0.0 instead of High Sierra's Boot ROM Version of 138.0.0.0.0), this allowed my Mac Pro's motherboard to use NVMe SSDs on 1st Gen Mac Pros where this was not possible under High Sierra and all other previous macOS versions. Then, even though High Point makes it clear that their SSD7101A-1 device was never designed or tested to boot anything, when one of their SSD7101A-1 devices is equipped with a Samsung 970 Pro NVMe SSD (1TB), is then installed in PCIe 2 slot three in my Mac Pro and my previous Mojave 10.14.2 boot SSD image is restored onto the 970 Pro NVMe SSD with Time Machine, guess what? With no High Point driver or other software added of any kind, my Mac Pro 5,1 boots Mojave 10.14.2 just fine! Bifurcation problems? Nope. Please see the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test results attached. I believe that this is just wonderful (although High Point's technical support folks still insist that their SSD7101A-1 device is a RAID device only and cannot be used to boot anything). Note that only Apple's newest iMac Pro can get similar speeds on a boot SSD, but in order to do that, Apple uses a proprietary Samsung NVMe SSD on a special motherboard. Just to be clear: My Mac Pro 5,1 can now boot Mojave from a 970 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD with R/W speeds near 3k MB/s and it also boot Win 10 Pro from another 970 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD with the same R/W speeds. Both of these 970 Pros are mounted on this High Point device in slots 1 (top) and 2 (second from top) with no other software or drivers. Now what do I do with the other two M.2 NVMe blade slots? Thank you High Point (and Apple)! ... show more

What can I say it seems like a good idea but poorly executed. Was fairly easy to setup and configure but the raid was wildly unstable in any config. Was blistering fast when it worked but would have to be rebuilt every boot it seems.Went to RMA and they wanted all kinds of logs and file dumps and been going through RMA with this company since July 2020 and no response since last entry oct 10th 2020 between then its been try this that send us this and that. Would highly avoid this company. Attached are thermals of the controller completely dead as well. ... show more

    • Crashing Virtual Operating Systems - Error Messages and No Support
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: Individual Retail Configuration: RAID M.2
Running a 2TB array on a Debian machine. The array houses the operating systems for 4 instances of Windows Server. No issues with speed, but the machines have been quite unstable since moving to this array. The log spits out the same message a few times a second. Contacted tech support and they responded 4 days later requesting more information. Replied with more information 3 weeks ago and still no response. Even tried to follow up twice. Functionality is questionable and lack of support makes this a $400 useless piece of junk. ... show more

    • Great card but noisy fan
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: Individual Retail Configuration: RAID M.2
I installed this in a new mac pro with 2TB NVME cards, striping all 4 of them. It was pretty easy to install within the mac and setting it up. The downside, the cooling fan is noisy as hell which does not help in a music studio. After researching, this seems to be very common. What was more frustrating was trying to find a replacement fan, which i was not able to except for an exact fan. Did some more research and ended up installing copper heat sinks on the 4 blades and one on the switch processor. I also took the shield casing off and rely on the macpro’s fans to cool the fans. I did extensive read/write testing with blackmagic as well as carbon copy, whole monitoring the Highpoint temps with the service software. At the most i got one of the blades was 125, below 140F where the highpoint will go overheat protection. Its been 2 months and working fine. I definitely would preferred a good quiet replacement fan that would fit with the shield on. ... show more
