The RocketRAID 4321 from HighPoint offers a new level of flexibility and performance to servers and workstations by supporting either 15,000 rpm SAS hard drives for performance or lower cost SATA hard drives for capacity. Supporting RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD, it can not only backup data but can also extend the storage capacity of a system significantly.
It supports the industry’s fastest bus speeds at PCI-Express X8 and offers complete connectivity with 1 external and 1 internal mini-SAS connectors. Using SAS expanders, it can connect up to 128 SAS devices.
Based on the Intel IOP348 I/O processor and HighPoint's TerabyteArchitecture, this high-performance PCIe-to-SAS RAID host adapter delivers enterprise-class SAS RAID 5 and RAID 6 performance for mission critical applications that require high sustained performance, availability and native expansion.
