RocketAIC 7540HW
PCIe Gen4 x16 NVMe AIC SSD – 32TB of Storage Capacity – Up to 28GB/s of Transfer performance!
HighPoint’s high-density RocketAIC 7540HW (RA7540HW) series NVMe AIC SSDs are comprised of eight Samsung 990 PRO M.2 SSDs, pre-configured as a RAID 0 array. This combination delivers up to 32TB of storage capacity and a blistering 28GB/s of transfer throughput via a single PCIe 4.0 x16 slot!
The full-length, single-width AIC RAID drive was designed for use with full-sized PC-based tower workstation platforms. Engineered to accommodate professional workflows, RocketAIC 7540HW NVMe drives are equipped with Broadcom’s state of the art PCIe Gen4 switch technology and HighPoint’s proven NVMe Hyper-Cooling solution, which work to ensure each SSD operates at maximum throughput at all times.
Broadcom Inside!
HighPoint RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs incorporate Broadcom PCIe switch chipsets, to optimize signal integrity, reduce latency and maximize transfer throughput. The Switch ICs are integrated directly into the AIC’s controller hardware, and provide an abundance of electrical lanes: 48 for the RocketAIC 7540HW.
The highly flexible, performance-focused hardware architecture is unique to our NVMe solutions and ensures bandwidth is never wasted. The RocketAIC 7540HW allocates a dedicated x16 lanes of upstream bandwidth, and x4 lanes of downstream bandwidth to each of the eight device ports and Samsung 990 PRO SSDs. This combination delivers a guaranteed 28GB/s of sustained transfer performance – the fastest speed possible from a single-slot NVMe storage solution!
Equipped with Samsung’s Class-Leading 990 PRO M.2 SSDs
RocketAIC 7540HW NVMe AIC SSDs are powered by our industry leading NVMe hardware architecture and Samsung’s proven 990 PRO series M.2 SSDs, which deliver client class-leading I/O performance and reliability.
RocketAIC 7540HW NVMe AIC SSDs were designed to maximize PCIe Gen4 storage performance and reliability for professional workflows, and are available with up to 32TB of capacity.
SafeStorage NVMe SSD Encryption Solution
RocketAIC drives are compatible with HighPoint's SafeStorage, a comprehensive NVMe Hardware Encryption Solution designed to accommodate large-scale RAID arrays and individual SSDs. Developed in line with leading SED technology and based on OPAL SSC TCG specifications, SafeStorage is designed to safeguard critical assets by preventing access to stored data when physical disks are misplaced or stolen. Volumes encrypted with SafeStorage activate each disk member’s self-encryption capabilities, providing robust data protection.
PCIe-Gen4 Hyper-Cooling Solution
In order to optimize NVMe storage performance, you will need a reliable way to keep temperatures in check. HighPoint RocketAIC NVMe drives were designed to mitigate the threat of thermal throttling to excel in high-stress computing environments.
The RocketAIC 7540HW’s proven PCIe Gen4 NVMe Hyper-Cooling solution was engineered to perform optimally in demanding workflows while generating minimal noise. The system leverages a full-length anodized aluminum heatsink with a powerful low-decibel cooling fan and high-efficiency thermal padding to rapidly transfers waste heat away from sensitive hardware and ensure the Samsung 990 PRO SSDs always perform optimally, even under maximum load.
Quick & Intuitive Management Suite
Though RocketAIC NVMe AIC SSDs are designed to work right out of the box, customers are free to install HighPoint’s intuitive WebGUI and CLI management software suite, which includes our SHI solution (Storage Health Inspector), which provides simple and quick real-time temperature monitoring and endurance tracking. Customers can easily reconfigure the RocketAIC drive and tailor RAID storage for a specific Target Application & Platform.
Striping - This mode delivers Maximum Performance and capacity by linking multiple NVMe SSDs together to act as a single storage unit.
Mirroring - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and is ideal for applications that require an extra layer of data security, including bootable volumes.
Security & Speed –This mode offers the best of both worlds. Two mirrored arrays are striped together to maximize performance with a layer of data redundancy.
