With 8 Serial ATA channels, the HighPoint RocketRAID 1820A provides multi-level RAID support including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD.
With an optimized XOR technique and advanced Intelligent Cache Algorithm powered by the HPT 601, the RocketRAID 1820A provides a significant performance enhancement for RAID implementations. The RocketRAID1820A solution is aimed at enterprise storage, NAS storage, web servers, video streaming, back up and security systems.
The 64-bit PCI-X architecture supports transfer rates above 1 gigabyte per second, and operates up to 133MHz. In addition, it is backwards compatible with the
older 64-bit PCI bus. The bandwidth provided by PCI-X makes the RocketRAID 1820A an ideal solution for industry standard servers running enterprise applications.
The RocketRAID 1820A supports Command Queuing (CQ), which can significantly enhance randomized read and write performance of hard disks. CQ is designed to increase performance and endurance of hard disks by internally optimizing the execution order of workloads. With the support of CQ, your system will gain improved performance of queued workloads and hard disks will have less mechanical wear due to less mechanical latency.
As a high-performance, affordable RAID solution, the RocketRAID 1820A makes perfect sense for servers, critical business applications, gaming, security systems, and high-end personal storage.
