About the HighPoint Host Adapter

The Glyph HighPoint card is a 3Gbps/port eSATA card which uses a PCIe slot in your computer. It’s designed
to be used with enclosures holding two or more drives, such as the GT 062E and the ForteRAID, and delivers
300MB/s on each of it’s eSATA connections. The HighPoint card is well matched with the ForteRAID, which
sustains over 230MB/s in RAID 0 mode. Performance like this is perfect for NLE applications such as Avid
Xpress, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro*; and removes the speed bottleneck for digital photography ap­plications, content creation, and huge sound libraries.
