SSD6540M
4-Bay M.2 NVMe RAID Enclosure
The SSD6540M is designed for professional grade, performance-hungry applications that demand uncompromised
transfer bandwidth. The unique NVMe architecture provides dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth for each drive-bay;
this allows each M.2 SSD to interface directly with the platform’s CPU, and deliver sustained transfer performance
in excess of 14,000MB/s – faster than any other external desktop RAID storage solution in today’s marketplace!
PCIe Gen3 x16 NVMe RAID Turnkey Solution
The SSD6540M is the industry’s first external NVMe storage solution to deliver uncompromised end-to-end PCIe
Gen 3.0 x16 transfer bandwidth. Our innovative external data cables work in conjunction with the removable M.2
drive bays to deliver dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 transfer bandwidth; this unique, performance-focused architecture
ensures each M.2 SSD operates at peak performance. The SSD6540M is a complete, stand-alone solution, and
includes a 4-Bay NVMe M.2 enclosure, PCIe 3.0 x16 controller card with external SFF-8644 connectors, two SFF8644 PCIe Gen3 x8 data cables, and all necessary fastening and power accessories.
Powered by Proven RAID Technology
The SSD6540M is powered by our industry proven NVMe RAID technology, and can accommodate a variety of RAID
and non-RAID storage configurations, including single M.2 SSD’s and multiple RAID arrays.
RAID 0: Also known as a “stripe” array. This mode delivers Maximum Performance, and requires 2 to 4 M.2
SSD’s.
RAID 1: This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target M.2 SSD, and requires 2 drives.
RAID 5: Stripe with Parity – this mode requires 3 or 4 M.2 SSD’s, and provides a boost in performance and
enables your data to remain intact should 1 M.2 drive fail.
RAID 1/0: Mirrored Stripe arrays. This mode requires 4 M.2 SSD’s – it will mirror the data of one stripe array to a
second, hidden stripe array for security.
Robust & Simple NVMe RAID Management
Each SSD6540M RAID Enclosure includes a simple, intuitive web-based management interface. A Quick
Configuration menu allows new users to get everything up and running with a few simple clicks. Experienced Pros
can fine tune configurations for specific applications using the Advanced Options menu.
Integrated TRIM & S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring with Terabyte Written (TBW) Tracking: TRIM streamlines performance
and expands the lifespan of NVMe storage by enabling each SSD to handle garbage collection more efficiently, which
helps eliminate write speed degradation. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring allows you to check the temperature, voltage and
TBW of each NVMe SSD.
The Fastest External Desktop Storage – 14,000MB/s! Powered by M.2 NVMe SSD’s
Rapidly Adapts to Changing Workflows
The SSD6540M’s flexible architecture enables you to
adapt or transform NVMe storage to meet the needs of
each application.
A single SSD6540M enclosure can be shared between
multiple desktops and workstations – the included controller
card is also available as a standalone accessory, and can be
installed into any system with a free dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16
slot.
In addition, M.2 SSD’s hosted by the SSD6540M can be installed
into any M.2 capable SSD7100 series RAID controller; your array
and data will remain intact and accessible.
M.2 SSD’s can be moved between the SSD6540M and SSD7100 Series RAID controllers

Optimized for Serviceability
delivering finished product direct to the client.
Built-in LCD screen Streamlines Monitoring & Maintenance
Each SSD6540M features a built-in LCD screen that displays environmental
conditions in real-time. Customers can quickly access the temperature of
storage configurations and adjust fan speed to ensure the NVMe drives stay
healthy and run optimally. In addition, a built in alarm can be set to activate
in the case of temperature or enclosure related warning or failure.
SSD6540M enclosures can be
shared between multiple systems
The SSD6540M's is ideal for professional applications that require a robust,
easily serviceable, high-speed storage solution.
Unlike other M.2 based storage solutions, the SSD6540M’s four removable
drive bays enable quick and safe access to the NVMe media to streamline
upgrade, transfer or maintenance sessions.
The professional-grade, all-aluminum enclosure is rugged enough for work
in the field, yet perfectly suitable for live-demoing a media project or
