Low-Profile RAID Controller

The HighPoint SSD7202 is a PCIe 3.0 x16 RAID controller that adds two dedicated M.2 NVMe ports to low-profile servers or workstations. It supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 for bootable or data volumes across off-the-shelf MLC, TLC or QLC SSDs.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Each M.2 port receives a dedicated PCIe 3.0 x4 link while the card uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 bus to the host. This architecture avoids internal bottlenecks when both drives operate at full speed for extended periods.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your chassis accepts a 6.29 inch by 4.76 inch low-profile card and that a PCIe x8 or x16 slot is electrically available. Confirm the target operating system is Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or later, Linux kernel 3.3 or later, Hyper-V, Xen Server 7.6 or later, or Proxmox 6.1 or later.

Questions about this item

Does the SSD7202 generate noticeable noise or heat when running continuously in a 1U server?

The card is a passive low-profile controller with no fan, so it adds no audible noise. Heat output depends on the two M.2 NVMe SSDs installed and the airflow in your chassis.

What must already be in the system for the SSD7202 to function?

A free PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot and one or two off-the-shelf M.2 NVMe SSDs (MLC, TLC or QLC). The controller itself provides the RAID 0, 1 or single-disk modes.

Will the SSD7202 work alongside an older PCIe 2.0 RAID card in the same server?

Yes — the SSD7202 negotiates PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 on its own slot and is backward-compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, so it can coexist with legacy controllers on the same motherboard.
