Anyone using the newest Sonnect M.2 NVMe SSD with an Apple Pro? How big a drive? Using it as 4 separate SSDs or in an array?
Thanks.
Mac Pro, macOS 10.13
That card is built for SPEED. That card has a controller, so it can configure provide full x16 PCIe 4 speeds to any drive or combination of drives. When multiple drives are configured as a Striped RAID, the speed is truly impressive.
But for a music production Mac, you should not need that much speed, and could save most the estimated retail US$800 by using slower alternatives.
The fastest generally-available single NVMe SSD module seems to be an advertised 7,000 M Bytes/sec. again, all about speed.
Do you even need SSD drives for music production?
