HighPoint’s Thunderbolt 2 Hardware RAID Adapter released
Storage hardware producer HighPoint has released its Thunderbolt 2 Hardware RAID adapter, the RocketStor 6328. A compact hardware RAID and storage connectivity solution for Thunderbolt 2 platforms, RocketStor 6328 is palm-sized, and encased in aluminium. The adapter’s RAID-on-Chip controller supports RAID 0,1,5,6,10,50 and JBOD configurations, ideal for 4K media applications.
Powerful enough to stream 4K video while simultaneously transferring terabytes worth of HD media to multiple small-form factor Mini-SAS and eSATA storage chassis, all can be executed through a single Thunderbolt connection. Its dual external Mini-SAS ports directly supports up to 8 SAS/SATA hard drives and SSDs, up to twenty when paired with SATA Port Multiplier capable drive enclosures, and up to 128 via SAS Expander.
Available for both Mac and Windows operating systems, shipping is due to begin in March 2014.
