HighPoint Rocket 1508 8x M.2 Port to PCIe 4.0 x16 NVMe HBA C Interface Card

The HighPoint Rocket 1508 is a high-performance NVMe HBA (Host Bus Adapter) designed to connect up to eight M.2 NVMe SSDs to a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. Ideal for content creators, data scientists, and IT professionals requiring ultra-fast storage, this card delivers aggregate bandwidth up to 28,000 MB/s with dedicated PCIe 4.0 x4 lanes per M.2 slot. Active cooling ensures sustained performance under heavy workloads.

Advantages

Unlock the full potential of NVMe storage with eight independent M.2 slots, each with dedicated PCIe 4.0 bandwidth. The Rocket 1508 supports RAID 0, 1, 10, and Single Drive configurations for performance or redundancy. Browser-based management via HighPoint WebGUI simplifies setup and monitoring. Bootable support allows direct OS installation on NVMe RAID arrays.
