In general, PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSDs with 4 or more TB of capacity utilize double-sided NAND. While this form factor allows for denser storage media, heat dissipation can be a major concern, as considerably more NAND memory has been packaged into the same physical space.
In addition, airflow is often restricted for the “down” side of the SSD (the side positioned closest the surface of the controller or motherboard). If the SSDs do not have enough “breathing room”, the risk of overheating can become a major concern, especially when the SSDs are under heavy load for prolonged periods of time. Thermal throttling will inevitably kick in and severely bottleneck transfer performance.
HighPoint’s SSD7749M PCIe Gen4 NVMe AIC was designed to mitigate this risk. The unique dual-width AIC form factor is ideal for double-sided M.2 NVMe media!
Industry’s First Dual-Width M.2 NVMe AIC
HighPoint’s SSD7749 series of AIC RAID controllers and Host Adapters have established a new milestone for NVMe storage, and were designed to address the stringent performance, and reliability requirements of industrial workflows, such as AI and edge-computing applications and HD media post production.
The robust, double-width AIC architecture and full-length aluminum casing has incorporated a unique tool-less SSD loading system, and dedicated cooling system designed to protect critical NVMe hardware and eliminate performance bottlenecks associated with thermal throttling.
The SSD7749M’s unique architecture and specialized cooling system enables M.2 media to be arranged vertically, similar to how memory is installed into most motherboards.
This unique approach simplifies installation and service workflows while providing superior airflow; a true win-win situation!
The system enables the SSD7749M to easily accommodate dual-sided M.2 SSDs, even those with a 22110 form-factor.
