Why mince words when describing Highpoint's RocketRAID 622? You'll be hard pressed to find a better RAID card on the market. It features a long list of technologies designed to protect the information on the arrayed hard drives. Just as impressive is the expansive ways it'll go to warn you should something go wrong on your hard drives beyond its control giving you a chance to save the drive, or replace the drive and keep down time to a minimum.
Most importantly, it makes replacement of a corrupt or damaged drive easy – just change out the drive. RocketRaid will do the rest of the work for you. For peace of mind there is nothing like RocketRaid out there.
SATA 6 Gb/s Compliant The HighPoint RocketRAID 622 features next-generation SATA Revision 3.0 compliant eSATA ports to provide 6Gb/s data transfer rates for optimal performance, efficiency, convenience and flexibility.
PCI Express 2.0 Interface The PCI Express 2.0 interface provides double the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express 1.0 interface and delivers up to 500Mb/s of throughput for enhanced performance.
RAID Support The HighPoint RocketRAID 622 multi-level RAID configuration including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD for better performance, enhanced data security and flexible capacity upgrades.
Pros: Card works the way it's supposed to.
Cons: Does not come with full profile PCI bracket as indicated in the picture.
Overall Review: I contacted Highpoint to inquire about a full height bracket and they said my device was out of warranty...ok...I JUST bought it, how is it out of warranty? They were no help. I've had no luck locating a full height bracket or some sort of converter.
Pros: I did receive the item that I ordered in a factory sealed container (though minus 2 cables the box stated were supposed to be in there).
Cons: It simply doesn't work. I tried every which way to get it running. As long as I don't actually try to connect a drive, it doesn't crash my Win7 64bit machine. otherwise, yep *CRASH*. All the other crummy reviews are true. If this was free, I still wouldn't have gotten my moneys worth. Look at all the bad reviews and run away from this heaping pile.
Overall Review: Mfr support was non existent. No help anywhere. Phone number doesn't work either.
Pros: Very fast, reliable, and low price.
Cons: Must properly disconnect drive before powering down computer.
Overall Review: It is ashamed so many poor reviews have been submitted from people who don't know what this card is used for or how to set it up. I am using it with a Sans Digital Tower Raid 5 bay eSata enclosure running raid 5 with 5x4gb drives under Windows 10pro. The card has been reliable for the 4 years I have used it and I am very satisfied.
Pros: Very easy to get up and running. I had this installed, attached to the enclosure, and configured in under an hour.
Cons: The web based configuration application crashes constantly, and the service needed to be restarted often while I was configuring the RAID. The drive identifying LED flash mechanism doesn't work with the enclosure I'm using. No LEDs on the enclosure flash when the flash command was given. I'm using a Sans Digital TR8M TowerRAID enclosure, and used this RocketRAID device to replace the original eSATA RAID device that came with this.
Overall Review: Great value for the money. I just wish the LED flash capability worked with my enclosure so I wouldn't have to guess later on when replacing drives.
Pros:
Small form factor
PCI-e card sata 6Gbs
Cons:
Bought this card on Newegg after the pci card I had wouldnt allow large volumes.
Searched for a raid 5 capable card and saw this device. going with how my other card was constructed(sata ports on back side of the card) I assumed the card had esata and sata.
Not sure why it is advertised as a raid card with 5 support (when 5 requires 3+ drives) Will have to return it since it was listed incorrectly
Overall Review:
Don't see how Raid 5 can work with only 2 interfaces
Back view would be good to show There are no sata ports underneath.
This card is a HBA not raid.
Pros: cheap
Cons:
Only needs to be one Con if the driver continues to fail randomly. DumpChk reports back the following:
BugCheck D1, {0, 9, 0, fffff8800107ecda}
Probably caused by : rr62x.sys ( rr62x+14cda )
This is on a brand new, virgin Windows 7 Pro System, so, no other odd ball drivers are installed on this computer. The Blue Screen of Death happens randomly, and I just happen to be sitting at the desk on one of the Blue Screen episodes. Ran Microsoft's Dumpchk against their database, and found out it is the 622 driver. There are no more "new" drivers for this board -- so, not sure what I am going to do at this time
Overall Review: It would be nice if the folks at High Point would update their drivers -- I cannot believe I am the only person that is having this problem.
Pros: -works as a replacement to my Sil3234 bundled esata card with my Sans Digital TR8m-B
Cons: -none so far
Overall Review: I purchased a Sans Digital TR8M-B in 2009 from newegg which came with a Sil3234 esata card. In 2015, I started getting "The driver detected a controller error on disk#" event viewer ID 11 errors across all my 8 drives. I tried numerous things to fix it but nothing worked reliably. I took a gamble and ordered this RR622 and so far I have been error free! Super happy this card fixed my problems! kinda crazy the old card "died" as these controller cards have no moving parts. I run my Sans Digital with a WIndows 2008 R2 server. It may have been a software conflict but I was unwilling to rebuild the server (due to time constraints). I am just happy the RR622 fixed my problem

Pros: It continues to work
Cons: Poor online documentation with outdated linux drivers.
Not speedy but fast enough for my purposes
Overall Review: I use this to run a RAID 5 running from a San Disk four disk enclosure. This is my second highpoint raid card and neither have failed me. I could not, however, get this to work with linux utilizing the tutorials end users have posted online which haven't kept up with the latest linux releases. With linux development of the zfs RAID management, this card is probably looked at with disdain as an unnecessary layer of failure potential, likely left out as it is not recognized in consumer versions of Ubuntu, et al. There are some online end user modified drivers but all I could find were several years old have not kept up with the latest linux releases With Windows, however, I have not had a whiff of trouble. 5+ years and no failures.
