HighPoint SAS 6Gb/s RAID-on-Chip HBA - RocketRAID 4500 series RocketRAID 4520 Eight-Port 6Gb/s SAS and SATA RAID Controller
RocketRAID 4500 deliver the performance, versatility, and reliability needed by today’s Mission-Critical Storage Applications. The RocketRAID 4500 series, HighPoint’s newest class of SAS 6Gb/s RAID HBA’s, were designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional business and media applications, where consistent performance, data availability and reliability of storage infrastructure are paramount. The RocketRAID 4520 utilizes a Marvell Sheeva RAID-on-Chip onboard processor, 512MB DDR3 cache memory, PCI-Express 2.0 x8 bus speeds and SAS 6Gb/s connectivity combined with industry-proven RAID IP deliver unrivaled performance and superior reliability. The RocketRAID 4520 supports all major RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD configurations. The low-profile form factor allows the HBA to be easily installed into a wide selection of server and workstation chassis. An optional Battery Backup Module adds additional layers of data protection in the case of critical system faults and hardware failures.
Superior Reliability RocketRAID 4500 series HBA’s provide an unprecedented level of reliability with a comprehensive suite of data security, recovery, and maintenance features. The optional Battery Backup Unit and integrated NVRAM with write journaling accelerates recovery in the event of a power outage. SMART monitoring with proactive disk sector maintenance and repair features greatly reduce the risk of downtime, while automatic RAID rebuild, with HotPlug and HotSwap support streamline recovery procedures. The RocketRAID 4500 Management Suite includes HighPoint’s new RAID Recovery feature. This innovative security tool protects large-scale storage configurations in the event of RAID failure, by securely storing multiple copies of array meta-data for each RAID member.
Delivers True Host-to-Target SAS 6Gb/s Connectivity HighPoint’s unique HBA architecture with SAS wide-port support eliminates transfer bandwidth bottlenecks, providing the ideal platform for high-density, I/O intensive storage applications including digital content creation and media post production. True end-to-end SAS 6Gb/s SASExpansion enables each RocketRAID 4520 to support up to 128 SAS/SATA devices in cascade configurations when used in conjunction with HighPoint Rocket EJ6172 SASExpansion and System Management Controller boards.
Seamless Upgrade Paths RocketRAID 4500 ROC HBA’s support all generations of SAS and SATA storage devices and utilize industry standard Mini-SAS connectors for maximum compatibility and ease of integration. Available with internal, external and hybrid port configurations, RocketRAID 4500 HBA’s are well suited for a wide-range of storage configurations, across PC and Mac hardware platforms. Full backwards compatibility with HighPoint’s entire RocketRAID product range streamlines upgrades to storage infrastructure while preserving critical business data for bootable or storage-only RAID configurations. Advanced storage management features such as Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) and Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) allow clients to dynamically expand, upgrade and convert storage configurations to keep pace with changing application workloads, without compromising critical data investments.
