Rocket Mate - a series of hard disk drive cases designed to work in conjunction with the Rocket series of IDE RAID Host Controllers. With Rocket mate, users' can safely hot-swap a failed hard disk drive with a fresh hard disk, then recover and rebuild the damaged RAID array - all without powering down the computer, or interrupting the computer's operations.

HPT374 PCI four Channel Ultra DMA/ATA133 RAID Controller supports up to 8 Ultra DMA/ATA133 devices, with a PCI burst transfer rate up to 133MB/Sec. The HPT374 is fully backward compatible with all hard disk devices - including Ultra DMA/ATA100, 66, 33 and EIDE Fast ATA-2. HPT 374 co-exists with motherboard IDE ports, adding four additional IDE ports to PCI 2.0 or higher systems.

With the inclusion of Hot Swap capabilities, user will have the ability to remove IDE devices from the system without shutting the system down. Other important features include RAID 0, 1 and 0+1 support, which allow users to connect multiple hard drives for data mirroring and striping applications – ideal for data-redundancy concerns and high performance needs.

The HPT 374 can be integrated in high performance motherboards, IDE controllers, network subsystems or PCI cards for use with 3D Graphics, Video Editing, CAD Development, entry-level servers, NAS (Network Attach Storage) and other fields that require accelerated performance and fault tolerance features.

Gartner Dataquest projects that ATA RAID revenues will grow more than 50 percent per year compounded annually,
exceeding $600 million by 2005. By working together,
HighPoint and Adaptec are tapping into the fastest growing
RAID market segment and extending Adaptec's ``RAID
Everywhere'' initiative to bring the capabilities and benefits of RAID to a broader market.

" HighPoint is pleased to have the opportunity to work with
Adaptec both on current and future products that bring
exceptional performance and consistent user satisfaction to
the ATA RAID markets,'' said Michael Whang, President of
HighPoint Technologies, Inc. ``By working with Adaptec, we
are able to extend our position in this important market, and bring data protection products to market at low price points.''

" We are now as well-positioned in the ATA RAID segment of the market, as we are in SCSI and Fibre Channel RAID,'' said Lee Caswell, vice president and general manager of Adaptec's Storage Solutions Group. ``We have successfully launched two industry-leading products in the last two months, and our HighPoint relationship is an important part of our ability to address the needs of price-sensitive customers using ATA disk drives.''
Joint development of an ATA RAID technology roadmap is an
expansion of the existing relationship between the two
companies. HighPoint's state-of-the-art HPT 370 chipset is
currently designed into Adaptec's recently announced ATA
RAID 2400A and ATA RAID 1200A products. The Adaptec
ATA RAID 2400A is targeted for use with entry-level servers
and workstations with up to four ATA disk drives, and is the
industry'sfirst ATA RAID controller to offer advanced RAID
unctionality previously only found in SCSI RAID products.

Adaptec's ATA RAID 1200A is ideally suited for sub entry-
level and rackmount server applications. HighPoint's HPT 370 chipset, integrated into both of these products, supports two independent ATA channels with 100 MB/sec transfer rate per channel. Both Adaptec ATA RAID products are shipping now.

Adaptec, Inc., the global leader in data storage access solutions unveiled two new ATA RAID controllers, ATA RAID 2400A and ATA RAID 1200A. Sun Cobalt, a pioneer in the network server appliance market unveiled a new product RaQ XTR. These three new products are using The IDE RAID controller chipsets from HighPoint Technologies, Inc. HighPoint Technologies, Inc. is a designer of Ultra DMA/ATA RAID Controllers for data storage within the PC industry. HighPoint's products will integrate in high performance motherboards, IDE controllers and other areas that require the accelerated performance and fault tolerance features. HighPoint has over one hundred hardware and software engineers to provide intelligent, high-performance data storage solutions for multimedia and other applications.

"The Qube 3 Professional Edition builds on the performance with an enhanced processor and adds reliability through the addition of RAID1 disk mirroring - perfect for an organization that depends on the Web to run their business."

"The Cobalt Qube 3 includes software RAID 1, which ensures the availability of content in the event of disk failure through data redundancy over two disks."
"Increased reliability: Qube 3 Professional Edition, the new premium product in the Qube family, includes internal RAID 1 mirrored disks, thereby protecting the customer from any disk failure."

"RThe Cobalt RaQ 4r includes software RAID 1, which ensures the availability of content in the event of disk failure through data redundancy over two disks. "

"For added reliability requirements, such as e-commerce and other business critical application deployments, the RaQ 4 comes standard with software RAID 1* for increased data/site availability."

"the Hard Drive subsystem scores show the BX133-RAID absolutely man-handling the SE6. The Striping RAID setup on the BX133 scored THE best drive benchmarks we have ever seen here in the lab on any processor at any speed. Even the single channel ATA100 scores on the HighPoint Controller of the BX133, show its supremacy be far in almost every drive benchmark when compared to the i815 driven SE6."

"CPU utilization was extremely low in all configurations with the RAID 0 set up being the lowest, surprisingly."

"the BX133-RAID in RAID Mode 0, totally obliterates the i815. That was to be expected with the RAID set up and two fast ATA100 drives."

"the RAID Mode 0 set up smokes the rest of the field."

It can be observed that when the benchmarks showed almost 45% increase in performance in the high end Winmark99 for RAID 0 and 14.2% increase under RAID 1 for the Duron 600."

Game PC reviews the ABIT BX-133 RAID 440 BX Motherboard with the integrated HPT370 UDMA/ATA 100 RAID Controller
"the Highpoint 370 controller can perform better than the i815E's built-in ATA/100 controller in basic disk transfer rates"

"RAID 0 will offer the most to gamers, since it involves two disks combined into one drive, which can effectively double your burst throughout and cut read/write times in half."
