HighPoint RocketStor 6661A User Manual

Ultra-Compact & Portable Thunderbolt™ 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis - transform your notebook
into a compact media workstation!

The RocketStor 6661A allows you to quickly add any PCIe x4, x8 or x16 card to your Thunderbolt™ 3 capable computing

platform; such as media capture, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or external Storage/RAID controller cards. Like its predecessor,
The lightweight, small foot-print design is ideal for compact workstations and mobile computing platforms such as iMacs,
MacBook's Pros and Razor notebooks. At just 7 inches tall, and less than 3 inches wide, the RocketStor 6661A is small
enough to pack into a laptop bag, yet is capable of supporting full-sized PCIe 3.0 add-in cards.

Efficient Chassis Design keeps temperatures in check during
Heavy Workloads

PCIe devices, such as networking, video and hardware RAID cards can
generate a great deal of waste heat during heavy I/O; an efficient, reliable,
cooling system is an essential component of any PCIe expansion solution.
The RocketStor 6661A was designed to accommodate performance intensive
applications. The ventilated, all-aluminum chassis and dual cooling fans keep
temperatures in check during high-stress workloads.
