HighPoint 7500 NVMe Controller

The HighPoint 7500 Series PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe RAID Controller is engineered for performance-hungry workstations and servers. It delivers dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 bandwidth directly to the CPU, enabling RAID arrays built from 4 or 8 M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs to reach blistering throughput with minimal latency. With true platform-independent RAID options and robust cooling, the 7500 unlocks scalable, reliable NVMe storage for demanding workloads, from 4K video editing to virtualized environments and data-intensive applications.

• Unmatched bandwidth with a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 bridge directly from the CPU, maximizing throughput for NVMe arrays and reducing bottlenecks in data-intensive tasks such as 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and large-scale databases.
• True platform-independent RAID solutions that work across major platforms and operating systems, enabling flexible deployment in diverse environments without vendor lock-in.
• Flexible drive configuration with 4 or 8 M.2 NVMe SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 1/0, or as individual disks, giving you options for performance, redundancy, and capacity planning—up to 32TB per controller.
• Broad compatibility and reliability including PCIe Gen3 compatibility for legacy systems, along with Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling S to maintain optimal temperatures during sustained workloads.
• Ease of integration and ongoing management with plug-and-play installation, straightforward RAID configuration through the controller’s interface, and compatibility with popular software environments for monitoring and maintenance.
