    • the SSD7101A-1 is the best M. 2 RAID card on the market
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port 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

    • New SSD Speed/Life for Mac Pro Tower 4,1/5,1 Models!!! Mojave and Win 10 can Boot From this UNIT!
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port Configuration: RAID M.2
Review Image by Alfred W. Kuebler
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

    • Wow, it's Fast - But the Install on my Machine Needed Major Construction
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port Configuration: RAID M.2
Review Image by RFM
UPDATE: Had to remove it from the machine it was in because every morning when we booted it would not show the files on it without 3-4 reboots. Once it booted with the files it seemed OK. But having ~2tb of files floating around in there made us nervous. We had 4-500 gig drives in RAID "0" for the speed but switched it for a single NVMe @ 2tb which is working great now. To spend ~$700 extra for that little boost in speed seems foolish in hindsight - but as they say live and learn. Got it installed with 4-500gig WD Black SSD NVMe's into array "0" to make one 2tb disk. One caveat though. . . If you are not an experienced computer geek you may want to have one help with the install. I have a RTX 3090 in that machine, it is a beast of a board and it had a plastic support bridge between two metal walls in the computer. This board is full height and almost as long as the graphics board so I had to use a Dremel to grind another notch so the support would go over it and still secure the graphics board. I guess I could have also sawed it. Again this may/may not be an issue for you depending upon your specific computer layout. Also download the instructions, don't use the insert that comes with the board. The link on the enclosed leaflet is dead because the is now a "-1" version so that is the drivers & software you need. We'll see how it goes from here on. After all this setup cost ~$900 and we used small size drives. ... show more

    • I bought two after getting one to work in my 2019 MAC Pro (latest version).
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port Configuration: RAID M.2
Now I have 8 GIGs (8 one GIG NVMe sticks) of super fast storage configured in a RAID. At first I could NOT get the MAC OS to recognize the cards. On High Points website, I could NOT find the correct answer to this problem. My solution was, using System Preferences, under Security & Privacy, I gave the raid-driver "Full-Disk Access." Although SSD7101A-1 is not "Bootable" in a MAC, however the High Point 7110 Controller will replace MAC's internal SSD, although you will have to do some "mods" to get it working as a bootable device. ... show more

    • Item failed with less than a year of use.
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port Configuration: RAID M.2
This controller worked great for the first few months, and then it stopped working to the point where the computer would no longer turn on anymore while the card was insert. Tech support offered no real assistance to trying to get the card fixed/replaced.

    • Works great with the 2019 Mac Pro!
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port 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

    • Crashing Virtual Operating Systems - Error Messages and No Support
Style: SSD7101A-1 Size: 4-Port 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

4500MB/s write and 4300MB/s read on a MacPro 5.1 from 2010. Yes, 2010. The 2020 MacPro that costs $10,000+ doesn't have those speeds. I have two m.2 drives in there currently at RAID 0 as an video media drive for editing. If I put two more, those speeds would almost double. I can edit 8K, 12K, RAW footage at half resolution natively on my 2010 Mac Pro. Do I recommend? Yes. Why did I get this one instead of the Sonnet Controller? NVME compatibility. The Hight Point has greater compatibility. ... show more
