Truly Independent Cutting-Edge PCIe Gen 4 x16 NVMe RAID Storage Performance for AMD Platforms

HighPoint’s 7500 Series combine dedicated,

cutting edge PCIe Gen 4 x16 host connectivity with our industry proven RAID technology to deliver unbeatable storage performance. The dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface enables each NVMe SSD to interface directly with the system CPU to ensure maximum transfer performance and near instant response time.

Truly Independent, Stand-Alone NVMe RAID Solution for both Intel & AMD Platforms

Unlike most PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage devices in today’s marketplace, which are tied to a specific hardware platform or brand of SSD or motherboard, HighPoint SSD7500 series controllers are truly independent NVMe RAID solutions. SSD7500 series controllers do not require motherboard platforms with Bifurcation support, or any specialized software released by SSD manufactures; any AMD-based system with a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can now take

full advantage of the industry’s fastest

storage solution. In addition, SSD7500 series controllers are fully backwards compatible with Intel PCIe 3.0 platforms, enabling customers to take full advantage of advanced Gen 4 storage media without migrating to a new computing environment.

Bootable RAID Support for Windows and Linux

SSD7500 series NVME RAID controllers can be used to configure bootable RAID or single NVMe SSD configurations for Windows and Linux systems. Optional UEFI downloads and complete installation guides are available for each supported platform.

RAID 1/0 (Security & Speed) - Unique to HighPoint NVMe RAID solutions, RAID 1/0 (also known as RAID 10) requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSD’s – it will mirror the data of one stripe array to a second, hidden stripe array for security. RAID 1/0 is capable of delivering read performance on par with RAID 0, and is superior to RAID 5 for NVMe applications.

Unlike RAID 5, RAID 1/0 doesn’t necessitate

additional parity related write operations, which reduce the TBW life span of NVMe SSD’s.

RAID 0 (Speed) - Also known as a “stripe” array, this mode delivers Maximum Performance, and requires a minimum of 2 NVMe SSD’s.

RAID 1 (Security) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and

requires 2 NVMe SSD’s to configure. RAID 1

is ideal for bootable volumes.

Comprehensive NVMe RAID Support

HighPoint 7500 Series NVMe RAID controllers will automatically recognize new NVMe SSDS’s as single drives- no configuration necessary. In addition, our comprehensive NVMe RAID stack enables each controller to support RAID multiple RAID 0, 1 or 10 arrays, or mixed configurations of single disks and RAID storage.

New for Gen 4! Ultra-Efficient, LowNoise Hyper-Cooling Solution

SSD7500 series RAID controllers benefit from a completely new, ground-up redesign of our

proven NVMe cooling system. HighPoint’s

Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling solution ensures

your NVMe SSD’s consistently operate within

their recommended temperature thresholds, even under sustained heavy I/O, by combining a full length anodized aluminum heat sink with an ultra-durable, near-silent fan, and high-conductivity thermal pad. This innovative, ultra- efficient cooling system rapidly transfers waste heat away from critical NVMe and controller componentry, without introducing unwanted distraction into your work environment.

Comprehensive NVMe RAID Management - Your Choice – Graphical or Text-only interfaces

When it comes to maintaining critical storage configurations, each customer has specific needs and preferences. Both management interfaces share universal layouts across all major operating systems, and can be administered locally or remotely via an
