Introduction
The
RR464 is a 4-channel ATA host adapter that provides multi
level RAID support including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD.
The RR464 utilizes an optimized XOR engine, which provides
a significant performance enhancement for RAID implementations.
The RocketRAID 464 is a low profile host adapter, and
is ideal for use with Rackmount server chassis.
The
RocketRAID 464 can support multiple RAID arrays, and the
4 independent ATA133 channels provide parallel disk/array
access. Due to the RocketRAID 464's RAID capabilities,
data storage and retrieval is dramatically faster than
single disk configurations.

Additional
security features are provided for RAID 1, 5 and 10 arrays,
such as hot-spare options for automatic array-rebuilds,
hot-swap support for swapping failed disks on the fly
(works with Hot-Swap capable mobile racks such as Rocket
Mate), and disk failure notification (audible alarms,
visual warning messages). These features provide a high
level of security and data protection against hard disk
failure.
The
RocketRAID 464 has 4 independent ATA channels, and supports
up to 8 IDE hard disk drives. The RocketRAID 464 imposes
no restrictions on hard disk capacity, and will meet the
requirements of most all business and personal applications.
In addition to the BIOS configuration utility, the RocketRAID
464 includes operating system based RAID configuration
software.
The software can be used to control remote systems, and
multiple HighPoint host adapters/controllers, over a network.
As
a high-performance, affordable RAID solution, the RocketRAID
464 makes sense for nearly any corporate, retail, industrial,
home, and small office environment. The RocketRAID 464
is ideal for LAN servers, critical business data storage,
high-end PC workstations, video stream/video editing systems,
etc.
