Sonnet Tempo 6Gb/s SATA PCI Express 2.5" Solid State Drive Card, Up to 660MB/s Data Transfer Rate, Thunderbolt Compatible

With the Sonnet Tempo 6Gb/s SATA PCI Express 2.5" Solid State Drive Card, you can elevate your computer's performance to new heights. This high-performance PCIe card is designed to control two SSDs, supporting both OS X and Windows RAID features for enhanced data security and performance.

The Tempo SSD Card is equipped with a 6Gb/s SATA controller chipset and a PCIe 2.0 x2 interface, delivering read speeds of up to 660MB/s when paired with two SSDs configured as a RAID 0 set. This fast data transfer rate makes it an ideal choice for demanding applications such as video editing, gaming, and other high-performance tasks.

Installation is a breeze thanks to AHCI compliance. Simply attach your SSDs with the provided screws, mount the card in an available PCIe slot, and power on your computer. The necessary drivers are installed automatically, saving you time and effort. Additionally, the card supports S.M.A.R.T. data reporting, allowing you to monitor the health of your drives and ensure optimal performance.

The Tempo SSD Card offers a unique modular design that adapts to your needs. It starts as a half-length, full-height card that can accommodate one SSD. However, with the included extension plate, it transforms into a full-length card that can house an additional SSD. This flexibility allows you to upgrade your storage capacity or performance as your needs evolve.

Unlike other PCIe SSD cards that rely on proprietary, premium-priced SSD modules, the Tempo SSD Card uses standard 2.5" SATA drives. This gives you the freedom to choose from a wide variety of SSDs that best suit your capacity, performance needs, and budget.

The Tempo SSD Card is also Thunderbolt compatible, making it an excellent solution for systems with a Thunderbolt connection but no PCIe slot. It's perfect for use in Sonnet's Echo Express ProThunderbolt Expansion Chassis for PCIe Cards or the xMac mini Server PCIe 2.0 expansion system/1U rackmount enclosure for Mac mini with Thunderbolt ports. This compatibility allows you to add high-speed SSDs to iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro computers.

In summary, the Sonnet Tempo 6Gb/s SATA PCI Express 2.5" Solid State Drive Card offers a reliable, advanced, and versatile solution for enhancing your computer's storage and performance.
