How to make your Mac Pro work faster with Sonnet (or much faster)

Sonnet’s High Capacity Screaming Fast PCIe card

If you need to blend blistering speed with up-to 32TB of storage, check out the Fusion Dual U.2 SSD PCIe card. While it can't quite the M.2's speed, it comes close (up to 3500 MB/s read/write, or 6,250 MB/s in RAID 0 configuration). With support for high capacity U.2 drives, howver, it can give you a large primary video storage platform with space for multiple high resolution projects. 

By the way the 2019 Mac Pro has more than one x16 PCIe slot and RAID 5 is also possible using SoftRAID.

Are you editing on Windows or Linux based towers? Sonnet’s card is compatible with them too. This card will even fit in Sonnet's Echo Express III-D PCIe expansion chassis allowing a Thunderbolt 3 enabled MacBook or iMac to have up to 8 TB of external HD or 4K media storage.

Multi-camera editing with Sonnet is Simply Fast too

The Sonnet Allegro USB-C 4-port PCIe card is another great PCIe addition to any edit tower or Thunderbolt 3 enabled PCIe expansion chassis.

Lots of today’s professional cameras like the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K can record edit ready files directly to externally mounted USB-C SSD media drives like the AngelBird SSD2GO or Wise PTS-1024 SSD.

Transferring or editing those media files can be a bottleneck in a 4K or 6K workflow especially within a multi-camera shoot. So, Sonnet’s 4 port PCIe card, with four powered USB-C ports, means you can connect and edit directly from those SSD drives at full speed.

Sonnet’s PCIe card also has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 controller chips on board, this means it is possible to have four SSD drives transferring HD data at 300 MB per second or two SSDs transferring 6K data at an amazing 660 MB per second.
