Q: 1. It will work on mac pro 5.1 pcie16x(2.0)? I believe individual drives (nvme 4.0) will work full, but raid will be negligible because of pcie 2.0. Am i right?

A: Nvme drives will typically be bottlenecked by PCIe 2.0 with or without RAID, and as such only SATA M.2 drives (via a PCIe card similar to this one) would be recommended for use with PCIe 2.0.

Q: 2. How many M.2 drives can be help inside the enclosure? from the picture, it seems there are two slots.

A: The HighPoint RocketMate 110 can house up to 1 M.2 drive.

Q: 3. What size HDD does this card support for RAID 1? I'm looking at using the IronWolf 10TB 7200 RPM NAS HDD.

A: On the datasheet for this product, the manufacture only states it supports larger HDD's than 2TB. It doesn't specify the maximum size. Sorry for any inconvenience. https://bit.ly/2yYp2rn As far as compatible HDD's, the manufacture doesn't list Seagate IronWork HDD as a compatible option. The compatible HDD's are shown below: https://bit.ly/2NblCKd

Q: 4. 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: 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. Is this compatible with sabrent rocket nano nvme pcie m.2 2242 ssd model : SB-1342-1TB

A: Yes, the enclosure will support the SSD.

Q: 7. is the raid hardware or software?

A: It has a hardware RAID controller.

Q: 8. What's the maximum throughput?

A: Rocket series NVMe HBAs such as this 1508 8-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 4.0 x16 Adapter Card are capable of fully saturating x16 lanes of 4.0 host bandwidth.

Q: 9. Does this work with fanxiang S880 4TB NVMe SSD M.2 2280 Gaming SSD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6DL33T5/ref=twister_B0CN2BFZ6R?_

A: Yes, the Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs, B&H # SAECSNVE, supports a PCIe NVME M.2 2280 SSD like the fanxiang S880.

Q: 10. Will this work in a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, physical x16 slot? With all 4 NVMEs?

A: The HighPoint SSD7105 NVMe RAID Controller requires a full PCIe x 16 slot.
