Maximizes SATA SSD Storage Performance : RAID 5 Performance Up to 6,000MB/s!
RocketRAID 800 series host bus adapters are the industry’s fastest SATA RAID Controllers. The PCIe Generation 3.0 host interface and dedicated 6Gb/s SATA channels work in tandem to deliver uncompromised transfer performance for up to 16 SSD’s or hard disks. Backed by HighPoint’s 20 years of RAID technology expertise, and professional-grade RAID Storage reliability and management capabilities, RocketRAID 800 adapters are ideal for a wide range of cost-effective SATA storage applications.
Superior PCIe Gen 3.0 Transfer Bandwidth
RocketRAID 800 series host bus adapters allow customers to take full advantage of the superior transfer performance delivered by PCIe 3.0. Each PCIe lane supports up to 8 GT/s. PCIe 3.0 is ideal for today’s high-speed SSDs; the performance capabilities of multi-SSD RAID 5 configurations can achieve up to 6,000MB/s!
Seamlessly Upgrade RAID Storage
Rocket 800 series host bus adapters deliver unprecedented level of flexibility when it comes to storage configurations. Customers are free to expand or convert RAID storage configurations as needed to keep on top of the evolving demands of the storage application, without sacrificing existing data. Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) allows administrators to add new drives to existing arrays in order to expand available capacity. Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) allows administrators to convert one RAID level to another in order to tune storage configurations for maximum performance or data security. Arrays created with RocketRAID800 adapters are future proof, Online RAID Roaming allows customers to move existing RAID arrays to other 800series RAID controllers, in addition to all future HighPoint RAID products.
