The HighPoint SSD7120 is a quad U.2 RAID card, adding up to four NVMe U.2 drives to be added to a system. It requires a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, and effectively splits that up into four x4 connections - one for each of the U.2 drives. Not all motherboards have multiple PCIe x16 slots, though, so careful selection of other system components is important if you want to use this card.
Both half- and full-height brackets are included, enabling this card to be used in a wide variety of cases.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
While the SSD7120 has built-in RAID functionality, including VROC support, we have found that software RAID from within Windows 10 is generally the best option for both ease of use and performance.
