@paul Supposedly it's popular and sells well. Plus, I've never regretted anything I've bought from Sonnet. Of course it has some bandwidth trade-offs at 8x, but considering that it eats only one slot but provides so many things I really couldn't complain; I already have full-speed NVME cards eating up slots for the big stuff. 4 comments
@paul IMO Sonnet is weird about announcing and promoting products; I could swear I'm on their email marketing list, yet I never get anything about new releases. Instead things suddenly appear on their web site — like the three new PCI cards they just released, one of which is a solid-state RAID wet dream 8x NVME card.  @evilpeacock this thing? https://www.sonnetstore.com/collections/computer-cards/products/sonnet-m2-4x4-pcie-card-silent Nice that its low profile but the HighPoint 1204 is a bunch cheaper and same thing (high profile though). @paul Thats the 4x card (I've got one!) — there's now an 8x version. The only reason I didn't go with the HighPoint is that the drivers seem to cause a lot of grief with OS updates in forums. The Sonnet card is driverless, and fan-less. Their products aren't the cheapest for sure, but usually there's a good reason. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/m2-8x4-pcie-card/overview.html |

@evilpeacock just surprised I never hear of it until very recently.
