Sonnet Technologies today announced the Tempo PCIe SSD PCI Express (PCIe) solid state drive card
with a 512GB SSD module as the newest member of the Sonnet Tempo family of high-performance storage cards. The Sonnet PCIe SSD card serves as an alternative to traditional storage solutions, mounting a high-performance PCIe SSD on a card that installs into a computer's PCIe expansion card slot.
Sonnet designed the Tempo PCIe SSD card around an M.2 PCIe SSD module. Capable of transferring files at up to 1100MB/s, the Tempo PCIe SSD's module incorporates a PCIe flash controller, enabling the card to significantly outperform a 6Gbps SATA SSD if properly configured, and to achieve even greater performance than two 2.5-inch form factor SATA SSDs configured in RAID 0.
The Tempo PCIe SSD is a low-profile PCIe 2.0 card with an attached M.2 PCIe SSD providing 512GB of storage. Its small form factor allows this card to be installed into any x4 mechanical or larger PCIe slot in a Mac Pro tower or Windows desktop or server computer, or into any Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion system.
The Tempo PCIe card is compatible with OS X 10.8.5 and up, Microsoft Windows 8 and 7, and Windows Server 2012 and 2008. The Tempo PCIe SSD (part number PCIE-SSD1-512-E) is available now, at a suggested retail price of $799.
