It offers platform-independent compatibility with AMD and Intel systems, advanced RAID configurations for speed and security, and an ultra-efficient low-noise hyper-cooling solution to maintain optimal drive temperatures during intense workloads. ## Description Experience the Best of Both Worlds-Maximized M.2 Storage Capacity & Transfer Performance: The SSD7540 delivers an unprecedented level of storage capacity & performance. The integrated Gen4 switch chipset and latest iteration of HighPoint’s blazing fast NVMe RAID engine delivers an unbeatable 28,000MB/s of transfer speed while supporting up to 64TB of storage!Truly Independent Cutting-Edge PCIe Gen 4 x16 NVMe RAID Storage Performance for AMD Platforms: The SSD7540 is a truly independent NVMe RAID solution; it does not require a motherboard with Bifurcation support, or any specialized software released by SSD manufactures; any AMD system with a dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 slot can now experience Gen4 NVMe performance. In addition, the SSD7540 is fully backwards compatible with Intel PCIe 3.0 platforms; use advanced Gen 4 storage media without migrating to a new computing environment.Comprehensive 8-Port M.2 NVMe RAID & Storage Solution: RAID 1/0 (Security & Speed) - RAID 1/0 requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSD’s – it will mirror the data of one stripe array to a second, hidden stripe array for security. RAID 0 (Speed) – this mode delivers Maximum Performance, and requires a minimum of 2 NVMe SSD’s. RAID 1 (Security) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and requires 2 NVMe SSD’s to configure. New for Gen 4! Ultra-Efficient, Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling Solution: SSD7500 series RAID controllers benefit from a completely new, ground-up redesign of our proven NVMe cooling system. HighPoint’s Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling solution ensures your NVMe SSD’s consistently operate within their recommended temperature thresholds, even under sustained heavy I/O, by combining a full length anodized aluminum heat sink with an ultra-durable, near-silent fan, & high-conductivity thermal pad. This innovative, ultra- efficient cooling system rapidly transfers waste heat away from critical NVMe and controller componentry, without introducing unwanted distraction into your work environment. Comprehensive NVMe RAID Management: The Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology. The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators. Customers can easily track TBW (Terabytes Written) and the temperature of each individual NVMe SSD, and ensure the SSD7000 controller is using the fastest available PCIe slot. Review: RAID10 for Operating System - I had a little trouble getting windows installed to my RAID10 array made up of 8 NVMe drives primarily due to the drives and MB being relatively new to the market. HighPoint worked with me to get the firmware flashed so that it would operate properly and show up for installing windows to it. After that, I had super fast speed and zero issues. I'm going with them again for my next build! Review: Board drivers siezed the addresses of 3 of my 4 installed SSDs - Built a new system using Aorus motherboard and Ryzen Threadripper 7960. Worked beautifully with four SSDs installed in the motherboard. Added the HightPoint 7540 and the software "froze out" three of the four SSDs. I tried all the assignment tricks I know and even when I removed the 7540 and "uninstalled" the drivers, there were residual services. I had to remove all the HighPoint stuff by hand and finally my three SSDs are usable again. Got OWC RAID boards and they work fine and "play well with friends". ## Features - Dedicated PCIe 4.0 x16 direct to CPU NVMe RAID Solutions - Truly Platform Independent & PCIe Gen 3 Compatible - Up to 8 M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD’s - Up to 64TB of storage capacity - Low-Noise Hyper-Cooling Solution ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08LP2HTX3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | HighPoint | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (18) | | Date First Available | October 22, 2020 | | Flash Memory Size | 65536 | | Hard Drive | Solid State Drive | | Hard Drive Interface | NVMe | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 11.22 x 0.83 x 4.37 inches | | Item Weight | 1.7 pounds | | Item model number | SSD7540 | | Manufacturer | HighPoint Technologies, Inc. | | Operating System | RHEL/Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Proxmox/Rocky Linux(Linux kernel 3.10 and later) Only supports 64 bit operating system., Windows 11 and 10; Windows Server 2022/Server 2019/Server 2016; Microsoft Hyper-V; Only supports 64 bit operating system., macOS 10.13 ~ macOS 14.x | | Product Dimensions | 11.22 x 0.83 x 4.37 inches | | Series | SSD7540 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HighPoint - **Compatible Devices:** Motherboard or Workstation - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express 4.0 - **Item Weight:** 772 Grams - **Style:** SSD7540 ## Images ![Technologies SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Port M.2 NVMe RAID Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714M20JPy-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RAID10 for Operating System *by D***Y on September 28, 2024* I had a little trouble getting windows installed to my RAID10 array made up of 8 NVMe drives primarily due to the drives and MB being relatively new to the market.

Worked beautifully with four SSDs installed in the motherboard. Added the HightPoint 7540 and the software "froze out" three of the four SSDs. I tried all the assignment tricks I know and even when I removed the 7540 and "uninstalled" the drivers, there were residual services.

If you intended to put it in your second PCIe slot, and it says something like this, you only have 4 lanes. PCIe 4.0 x16 Slot (PCIE2), supports x4 mode* With only 4 lanes, the max this card will deliver is 8GB/s, and in reality that sorts out to about 6.4GB/s. Double that to 12 or 13GB/s on x8 lanes. And the advertised max of the card depends on the full x16 physical PCIe Gen4 lanes. You need to install the UEFI driver in order to see the Highpoint card in your pre-boot BIOS/UEFI screens. The OS drivers enable the onboard RAID controller, and the console web app relies on them. If you want to do a software raid instead and run with your NVME's vendor-provided drivers, the whole package works fine without the OS stuff installed. I install and uninstall the driver depending on what I want to do with the storage, it seems pretty stable and doesn't affect the OS. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/269012294-technologies-ssd7540-pcie-4-0-x16-8-port-m-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/269012294-technologies-ssd7540-pcie-4-0-x16-8-port-m-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
