Boost your computer system's storage, performance, and security by installing the SSD7204 M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 RAID Controller into an available PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot. The controller supports four M.2 NVMe solid-state drives up to 22110 form factor and can be configured for RAID 0, 1, 0+1, or a single disk for transfer speeds up to 7000 MB/s. Designed to work with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, the controller's full-length black-anodized heatsink provides silent passive cooling for the SSDs to maintain performance during sustained loads.

Q: 1. how exactly are the nvme chips mounted or connected to this card. Is this for regular nvme or the new Quad nvme?

A: This is an M.2 capable interface card wherein the M.2 drives are mounted under the depicted heat sinks.

Q: 2. Does this card work inside Dell 7875 precision workstation? It does have one Gen 5 x16 PCIe lane.

A: Yes, the HighPoint Rocket 1608A PCIe 5.0 x16 to 8-M.2x4 NVMe Switch AIC is compatible with the Dell 7875 Precision Workstation.

Q: 3. Is this 100% compatible with hp z6g4?

A: The Crucial 2TB P3 NVMe PCIe 3.0 M.2 Internal SSD would be compatible with a HP Z6 G4 tower.

Q: 4. Is there a RAID 5 version?

A: At this time, there is no version of the HighPoint SSD7505 PCIe 4.0 x16 4-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller that can support RAID 5.

Q: 5. Could you run 8x drives in JBOD and still obtain read/write speeds usable for 4k editing?

A: For the fastest configuration on the HighPoint SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller, RAID0 will be the best way to go to utilize the speed of all drives together.

Q: 6. Can this run in a 4.0 16 slot in an 8x configuration? Meaning only 8 lanes.

A: That may not be recommended as the card is engineered to run in a system with a free PCIe 4.0 x16 or PCIe3.0 x16 slot.

Q: 7. If installed on an older machine without NVMe in its BIOS, will this enable that machine to boot on NVMe cards in this controller?

A: If you want NVMe controller that supports booting, please look into the SSD 7110 instead (a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1413210-REG/highpoint_ssd7110_ssd_7110_3x_m_2.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1413210-REG/highpoint_ssd7110_ssd_7110_3x_m_2.html/a). For the SSD 7110, you should be able to boot with the NVMe drives on an older machine. However, we would recommend you to look into our compatibility list.

Q: 8. What is the difference between this NVME card and the HighPoint PCIe Gen5 x16 to 8-M.2x4 NVMe RAID AIC? Pros and cons?

A: The main difference between the HighPoint PCIe Gen5 x16 to 8-M.2x4 NVMe Switch AIC and the HighPoint PCIe Gen5 x16 to 8-M.2x4 NVMe RAID AIC is that the Switch model does not support RAID configurations. If you want to combine the M.2 SSDs into a RAID volume, then you would need the RAID model; the Switch model will have all drives as separate independent drives.
