RocketU 1144E

Introducing the RocketU 1144E: Versatile Connectivity - 5Gb/s USB3.0 & 6Gb/s eSATA on Single HBA!

The RocketU 1144E maximizes the performance potential of USB 3.0 and 6Gb/s SATA storage devices. The revolutionary, dedicated per-port performance architecture allows each storage device to take full advantage of the PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface. The dual 5Gb/s USB 3.0 ports support all industry standard USB 3.0 devices while the dual 6Gb/s eSATA ports are optimized for today's fastest SATA SSD's and high-capacity hard drives.

Key Features

  • PCI Express 2.0 x4

  • Two USB 3.0 ports with Type A connectors (female)

  • Two 6Gb/s eSATA Ports

  • 20Gb/s transfer bandwidth

  • Optimized for all USB 3.0 & eSATA storage devices

  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 & 1.1, and eSATA 3Gb/s

  • Hot-Swap and Hot-Plug

  • Compliant with xHCI (Extensible Host Controller Interface) Specification v1.00 Thunderbolt™ Aware Enabled

Unleashing the Next -Level of USB 3.0 Performance!

UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs) and thumb/flash drives. UAS is dependent on the USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set. 

​

UAS offers maximized bandwidth utilization, and can handle multiple data transfer requests simultaneously, unlike the slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only Transport), which only provides single-task commands – each task must complete before the next begins. As a result, USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization. UAS clears data queues faster, which results in smoother-operating PC's.

​

UAS combined with HighPoint's revolutionary per-port performance architecture, boosts transfer performance to new levels!
