*Sonnet introduces mcnever PCIe card *, which brings internal SSD storage, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gbps usb-c and two SSD slots for Mac Pro or any Mac with PCI-E chassis.
Sonnet has been providing systems with PCIe slots and computer adapter cards for a long time, but now the new mcfiver provides five interfaces in a full height PCIe card without external power supply. Sonnet says that for most creators, the ability to move files quickly is critical to their workflow.
Although a single adapter card may provide the ability to speed up one part of the workflow, it may not be feasible to install three adapter cards to obtain all the interfaces required by the user, even in a computer with multiple expansion card slots. It should be noted that SSD is sold separately. Sonnet said that the total amount of SSD storage that can be installed on the card is up to 16TB. It uses an X8 PCIe 3.0 bridge chip, so no specific SSD or PCIe forking is required to support raid functions.
When placed directly in mac pro When using its PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 card slot, sonnet claims that a single nvme PCIe SSD installed on the card can provide data transmission of up to 3400 mb/s. For each other Mac, and for any computer that does not have a PCIe card slot, mcfiller can be installed in a separate sonnet system or in the remaining egpu chassis.
