Eight-channel U.2 NVMe RAID controller

The HighPoint SSD7180 is a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x16 add-in card that provides eight internal SFF-8643 connectors for U.2 NVMe drives. It supports single-disk, RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10 modes with high-sustained write performance. The card works with Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or later, Linux kernel 3.10 or later and macOS 10.13 or later.

Builders needing massive NVMe capacity on a single

This controller suits workstations and servers that must saturate a PCIe 3.0 x16 link with up to 120 TB of U.2 storage. It is not for systems limited to PCIe x8 or x4 slots, nor for buyers who require RAID 5 or RAID 6 parity protection.

PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface

The card requires a full x16 electrical connection to deliver its rated 14,000 MB/s sustained write bandwidth across eight U.2 channels. A slot wired for fewer lanes will limit throughput and may prevent the controller from initialising.

Questions about this item

What motherboard slot is required for the SSD7180 to operate at PCIe 3.0 x16?

The SSD7180 needs a PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 x16 slot on an AMD or Intel motherboard to deliver full bandwidth.

Can the SSD7180's eight U.2 channels use existing SFF-8643 cables?

Yes, the eight internal U.2 ports use SFF-8643 connectors and work with certified cables such as 8643-8643-0350 or 8643-8643-060.

How can I verify the SSD7180 is sustaining write speeds above 14000 MB/s after setup?

Run a sustained write benchmark across the configured RAID 0 or RAID 10 array and confirm throughput exceeds 14000 MB/s.
