HighPoint NVMe RAID Solutions are ready for Apple's latest operating system platform - macOS Big Sur.
We deliver a complete range of internal, external and hybrid PCIe Gen3 NVMe RAID controlers and enclosures for Big Sur capable Mac hardware platforms.
HighPoint manufactures a comprehensive selection of professional-grade, high-performance NVMe RAID Controllers, Enclosures and adapters for Apple’s Mac hardware platforms and the macOS operating system. In addition, the majority of our PCIe NVMe RAID controllers are backwards compatible with older Mac workstations that utilize a classical tower layout. Unlike other NVMe RAID solutions in to today’s marketplace, HighPoint NVMe RAID controllers and enclosures are backed by quarter-century of storage expertise. Our industry proven RAID stack enables us to incorporate enterprise class features into compact PCIe devices that can be easily installed into any modern desktop environment.
Unique to HighPoint NVMe RAID solutions, is RAID 10, which is now featured by our bootable and non-bootable product series. RAID 10, delivers the best of both worlds – Maximum Performance and Data Security. A RAID 10 array is comprised of two RAID 0 sets, which are then mirrored to one another for security. RAID 10’s delivers the performance of a stripe array while maintaining a hidden backup of your stored data.
HighPoint’s ground-breaking Cross-Sync NVMe RAID Technology enables administrators to link two SSD7101A-1 or a pair of SSD6540 enclosures to act as a single RAID storage device. HighPoint Cross-Sync technology delivers blisteringly fast transfer performance; up to 28,000MB/s, while doubling NVMe storage capacity!
The Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology.
The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only management interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators.
Customers can easily track DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), TBW (Terabytes Written) and the temperature of each individual NVMe SSD, ensure the SSD7000 controller is using the fastest available PCIe slot, configure an event log with email notification, and monitor the status of critical RAID configurations in person or remotely via an internet connection.
The 2019 Mac Pro was designed for thermal efficiency. The innovative chassis ventilation and powerful cooling apparatus ensure your PCIe devices can operate at peak performance, free from the threat of overheating. HighPoint NVMe solutions capitalize on this design by offering an optional Silent Mode for the SSD7101A-1. Customers that require a working environment with minimal noise can now fully disable the controller's internal fan
The 8-Port SSD7140 employs our new ultra-efficient, multi-stage cooling solution that combines a high-conductivity thermal pad with an anodized aluminum heatsink equipped with dual built-in, low noise fans. This design ensures the M.2 SSDs, NVMe chipset and RAID componentry remain cool, even under heavy load, while minimizing the risk of distraction in the work environment.
The SSD7104 is ideal for high-performance media applications that require a distraction free work environment.
The SSD7104 can operate in complete silence, thanks to its full-length black anodized aluminum heat sink and ventilated full-height bracket, which work in conjunction to dissipate waste heat away from critical NVMe chipset componentry and the four hosted M.2 NVMe SSD’s.
Optional cooling solutions are aviable for select NVMe controllers.
HS8004F Cooling System - The HS8004F is avaiable for the SSD7104 controller, and combines a full-length anodized aluminum heat sink with an integrated cooling fan.
