RocketAIC 6542AWW


Nearly 1/2 Terabyte of Turnkey Enterprise-Class External NVMe RAID Storage


HighPoint’s RocketAIC 6542AWW has established a new milestone for turnkey NVMe Storage. The ultra compact & portable external RAID solution stands less than 5” in height, yet provides an astonishing 491.52TB of storage capacity, and is capable of delivering 28GBs of real-world transfer performance; ideal for tackling data-intensive applications such as such as AI training, high-seed data ingestion workflows, M&E post production, and critical asset backup and recovery.


The RocketAIC 6542AWW’s external form factor, integrated power supply, and powerful cooling system enables NVMe storage to be completely isolated from the host hardware platform. Not only does this free up interior space for the host server or workstation, it can significantly improve the reliability and efficiency by reducing power consumption and ensuring that waste heat generated by NVMe SSDs never enters the computing environment.
