Add 8TB of SSD storage to your 2019 or 2023 Mac Pro, including models with the M2 chip, using the 8TB RocketAIC 7505HM PCIe 4.0 x16 NVMe SSD from HighPoint. Built with a full-height, full-length form factor, this PCIe card fits into a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and is equipped with four 2TB Samsung 990 PRO PCIe M.2 SSDs which deliver sequential read speeds of up to 27,210 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 18,850 MB/s. All of this means that users will be able to work in high-productivity environments and grueling workflows that demand maximum uptime and transfer throughput on systems running macOS 13.x and later.

To further enhance performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both, the RocketAIC 7505HM may be configured as RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10. Other features include a 1.5 million hour MTBF, an endurance (TBW) rating of 4800TB for the solution or 1200TB per SSD, a Hyper-Cooling solution with an aluminum heatsink, a low-decibel fan, and thermal padding, WebGUI management software, and more.

If you are in the market for a high-speed storage solution for your Mac Pro workstation, NVMe media's combination of performance, high-reliability, and compact packaging is simply too good to ignore. However, the process of determining which NVMe controller and SSDs best addresses the needs of your application, and ensuring this combination can be readily integrated with your macOS/Mac Pro environment, is no easy task.

To address this, HighPoint has launched a series NVMe storage drives for Apple's M2 Mac Pro platform, engineered to deliver a guaranteed 27 GB/s of sustained transfer throughput.Designed for performance-hungry applications, RocketAIC M series NVMe AIC SSDs leverage Broadcom's PCIe Gen4 switch technology and HighPoint's NVMe hardware cooling solutions to ensure each SSD delivers maximum throughput at all times. Available with 8TB of storage and capable of delivering a guaranteed transfer speed of 27 GB/s, RocketAIC 7505HM AICs are built for high-productivity Mac Pro workstation environments and grueling workflows that demand maximum uptime and transfer throughput to ensure your projects stay on schedule without compromising quality.

RocketAIC 7505HM NVMe AIC SSDs deliver performance and reliability in a compact, easy to install package that is ready for use right out of the box. Included are four of Samsung's 2TB 990 PRO M.2 SSDs that deliver maximum performance and capacity. This combination delivers up to 8TB of storage at speeds up to 27 GB/s.

RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs incorporate Broadcom PCIe switch chipsets to optimize signal integrity, reduce latency and maximize transfer throughput, and provide an abundance of electrical lanes: 48 for the RocketAIC 7505HM.

The highly flexible, performance-focused hardware architecture is unique to HighPoint NVMe solutions and ensures bandwidth is never wasted. The RocketAIC 7505HM allocates a dedicated x16 lanes of upstream bandwidth and x4 lanes of downstream bandwidth to each device. This combination delivers a guaranteed 27 GB/s of transfer performance using just four SSDs.

RocketAIC 7505HM series NVMe AIC SSDs are powered by Samsung's proven 990 PRO series M.2 SSDs, which deliver I/O performance and reliability.

RocketAIC 7505HW drives deliver a potent combination of blazing transfer speeds and high-endurance reliability, and are equally suited for professional workflows and personal high-performance computing applications.

RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs were designed to accommodate a wide-range of high performance workflows, including AI learning and AV systems, content creation and post-production platforms, and highspeed data ingestion and media capture solutions. RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs are shipped pre-configured to maximize storage and capacity, but can be easily reconfigured using HighPoint's quick and intuitive management suite.

• Striping (RAID 0): This mode delivers maximum performance and capacity by linking together multiple NVMe SSDs to act as a single storage unit.
• Mirroring (RAID 1): This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD and is ideal for applications that require an extra layer of data security.
• Security and Speed (RAID 10): This mode offers the best of both worlds. Two mirrored arrays are striped together to maximize performance with a layer of data redundancy.

The RocketAIC 7505HM's Hyper-Cooling solution was engineered to perform optimally in demanding workflows while generating minimal noise.

The system leverages a full-length anodized aluminum heatsink with a powerful low-decibelcooling fan and high-efficiency thermal padding to rapidly transfers waste heat away from sensitive hardware and ensure the Samsung 990 PRO SSDs always perform optimally, even under maximum load.

The Hyper-Cooling hardware solution was designed to work in conjunction with HighPoint's SHI (Storage Health Inspector) monitoring service, which can track fan speed and SSD temperature in real time, and our SMTP Email Alert Notification feature, which enables customers to configure one or more Email addresses to receive information about any activity related to the RocketAIC drive, such as maintenance activity, warnings, or errors.

Though RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs are designed to work right out of the box, customers are free to install HighPoint's intuitive WebGUI management software, which includes their SHI solution and provides simple and quick real-time temperature monitoring and endurance tracking. Quick, and easily mastered, the WebGUI works with all modern web browsers and can be used to manage, configure, and monitor every aspect of your RocketAIC NVMe drive with a few simple clicks.
