HighPoint RocketRAID 2700 HBAs are cost-effective, high-performance PCI-Express 2.0 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers, and are ideal for SMB server and workstation configurations. HighPoint Turbo-RAID Technology: For over a decade, HighPoint has strived to take the cost and complexity out of RAID. We were the first to introduce affordable RAID 5 solutions to the storage marketplace, for both SMB and consumer applications. HighPoint Turbo RAID Products and Solutions are powered by our industry proven RAID stack, which leverages the powerful system resources and robust 2nd generation PCIe x8 host interface of todays modern computing platforms. Turbo RAID Technology delivers the industrys best Cost-Performance value, and the industrys most affordableRAID-6 Storage Solutions. RocketRAID 272x/271x HBAs support a wide-range of storage configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and JBOD. Complete, Flexible Upgrade Paths: RocketRAID 2700 HBAs 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 and macOS. RAID arrays can be freely moved to any other RocketRAID 2700 HBA. RocketRAID 2700 external-port HBAs were designed to work in conjunction with Rocket EJ Series SATA JBOD Expander and SAS-Expansion modules, which can dramatically expand the storage capability of each Mini-SAS connector. Simple and Easy Storage Expansion: RocketRAID 2700 series HBAs allow customers to expand capacity and convert existing RAID arrays from one level to another without having to start from scratch: your data remains intact and accessible during the transition Detail Specifications Feature Specifications Port Type 2x SFF-8087 (Mini-SAS) - (replacement for RocketRAID 2720SGL) Number of Channels / Ports 8x 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Channels Number of Devices 8x SAS /SATA Hard Drive / SSD Bus Interface PCIe 2.0 x8 Form Factor Low Profile RAID Mode 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD / non-RAID Mode Note: RAID 6 is not supported on macOS Bootable RAID 6 is not supported Operating System Window Server 2008 and Window 7 and later Linux macOS 10.6 and later Driver embedded into macOS 10.8 and later Advanced RAID Features Flash ROM for Upgradeable BIOS Yes Storage Health Inspector Yes Redundant RAID Configurations Yes BIOS PnP (plug and play) and BBS (BIOS boot specification) support Yes: RocketRAID 2720SGL Bootable RAID Array Yes EFI for Mac Platform Yes Multiple RAID Partitions supported Suport up to 4 RAID partition per disk Storage Configurations Support Details Direct Attached Multiple RAID Adapters supported Suport up to 4 RAID controllers per one system Online Array Roaming Yes Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) Yes Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) Yes RAID Initialization Background/Foreground/Quick Yes Global Hot Spare Disk support Yes Automatic and configurable RAID Rebuilding Priority Yes Disk Format compatible: 512, 512e, 4Kn Yes Larger than 2 TB Drive and RAID Array support Yes Spin down Massive Arrays of Idle Disks support Yes Native Command Queuing Yes Staggered Drive Spin Up Yes Write Back and Write Through Yes RAID Monitoring and Management Suite RAID Management Suite: BIOS/UEFI/Firmware configuration tool Browser-Based management tool CLI(Command Line Interface- scriptable configuration tool) API package Yes Enclosure Management Interface: SGPIO, SES-2 and I2C (Drive LEDs supported: SGPIO, SES-2 and LED Header) Yes except RR2711, 2722 only support via SES SMTP Email Alert Notification Yes Alarm Buzzer Yes Operating Environment Work Temp +5 o C -+ 55 o C Storage Temp -20 o C - +80 o C Relative Humidity 5% - 60% non condensing Operating Voltage PCI-e: 12V/3.3V Power: 11W MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) 920, 585 Hours Certification Approval CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH, WEEE Kit Contents 1x RocketRAID 2720 Controller card 1x Low Profile Bracket 1x Quick Installation Guide Item Dimension (LxWxH)
