HighPoint 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA’s

The Industry’s Most Cost-Effective, Comprehensive Selection of SAS/SATA 6Gb/s RAID HBA’s

RocketRAID 2700 Series

PCI-E 2.0 x8/x16 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA’s

the most diverse, versatile and cost­effective RAID HBA’s available in today’s
marketplace. Powered by our industry­proven RAID technology, industry­standard Mini-SAS connectivity with
support for up to 32 devices and PCI­Express 2.0 x8 and x16 bus speeds,
RocketRAID 2700 HBA’s can be easily
integrated into a variety of hardware
and software platforms, and are ideal
for cost-effective, high-density SMB
applications.

HighPoint RAID Technology

For over a decade, HighPoint has strived
to take the cost and complexity out of
RAID. HighPoint was the first to
introduce affordable RAID 5 solutions to
the storage marketplace, for both SMB
and consumer applications. Our
industry-proven Value-RAID technology
keeps costs in check by fully utilizing
available system resources in order to
optimize data transfer and security, and
supports a wide-range of storage
configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6,
10, 50 and JBOD.

Wide Selection of RAID HBA

Configurations

Powered by industry-standard Mini-SAS
connectivity with support for up to 32
devices, and PCI-Express 2.0 x8 and x16

RocketRAID 2700 HBA’s are fully
backwards compatible with SAS/SATA
3Gb/s devices, PCI-Express 1.0 and 2.0
motherboards, and are compliant with
all major operating systems including
Windows, Linux, FreeBSD & Mac OS X.

RAID arrays can be freely moved to any
other RocketRAID 2700 HBA. Upgrading,
scaling and expanding storage has never
been easier.

Comprehensive RAID & Storage
Management Interface

The streamlined web-based user

interface simplifies the storage
configuration process and allows
customers to quickly asses total
available capacity, the status of
individual hard drives or SSD’s, and the
health of storage configurations.
Optional auto rebuild and hot spare
features add additional layers of data
security to redundant RAID 5 and 6
configurations.
Administrators can designate unused
drives to automatically take the place of
failed units or configure the RocketRAID
HBA to immediately initialize rebuild
process by simply plugging in a new
drive.

bus speeds, RocketRAID 2700 HBA’s can
be easily integrated into a variety of
hardware and software platforms, and
are ideal for cost-effective, high-density
SMB applications.
