Products -> SAS Enterprise Class – RocketRAID 4300 Series
The RocketRAID 4300 Enterprise SAS series are the world’s fastest SAS RAID controllers. Powered by Intel’s premier IOP348 I/O Processor, and enhanced with HighPoint’s innovative TerabyteArchitecture, the 4300 Series delivers the power-efficiency, sustained performance, flexibility, and exceptional protection and monitoring capabilities required to sustain 24/7 operability in mission critical environments.
Model Series Introduction
The RocketRAID 4300 series is a PCI-Express x8 SAS RAID controller that supports up to 8 SAS/SATA hard drives with the industry fastest Intel Xscale IOP348 processor at 1.2 GHz. The RockeRAID 4300 series is effciently maximzed with HighPoint’s 2nd Gen. TerabyteArchitecture™ to deliver the highest sustained transfer rates with over 1004MB/s read and 913MB/s write and maximum data protection. With a PCI-Express x8 interface the RocketRAID 4300 series offers the maximum bandwidth for the highest data transfers.
Model Series Solution Overview
HighPoint is committed to providing resources that make it easy to develop Linux solutions using our RAID controllers. Our RAID drivers are embedded in Linux kernel 2.6.x and greater, and we work aggressively to ensure that they are included in each successive kernel distribution.
The HighPoint device driver integrated into the Linux kernel is open source and the kernel module was back ported in Red Hat Enterprise 5.2. The driver sources can be downloaded from the HighPoint web site and compiled for custom-designed Linux environments.
