RocketAIC 7608AWx


8x M.2 PCIe 5.0 x16 NVMe AIC SSD

Introducing the RocketAIC 7608AW Series: Industry’s Fastest & Densest Turnkey PCIe Gen5 x16 NVMe Storage Solutions


HighPoint RocketAIC 7608A series NVMe AIC SSDs leverage eight class-leading PCIe Gen5 or Gen4 M.2 SSDs and HighPoint’s revolutionary PCIe Switch Architecture & industry leading RAID technology to deliver 56,000GB/s of real-world transfer performance and up to 64TB of storage capacity, from a single PCIe Gen5 x16 slot.

Engineered for performance-hungry industrial and business applications, the compact, robust AIC SSD form factor directly hosts the NVMe media and incorporates a precision engineered cooling system designed to mitigate performance bottlenecks imposed by thermal throttling. 

Key Features

  • PCIe 5.0 x16 NVMe AIC SSD 

  • 32TB to 64TB of preconfigured storage

  • High-Performance PCIe-Gen5 Switch Architecture: x16 lanes of dedicated upstream with x4 lanes of downstream bandwidth for each NVMe SSD

  • Sustained transfer speeds up to 56,000MB/s

  • Equipped with 8x Gen5 or Gen4 M.2 SSDs

  • Intelligent Pro-Active Gen5 Cooling Solution Prevents Thermal Throttling

  • Quick & Intuitive Management Suite: Easily Reconfigure RAID storage for your target application and platform

  • Optional Boot-RAID Capability for Linux & Windows 

  • SafeStorage SED Solution
