All-In-One RAID and Storage Management Solutions

Empower NVMe Storage with HighPoint's Industry-Proven RAID Technology


HighPoint’s industry-proven NVMe RAID technology provides unparalleled flexibility, enabling administrators to easily craft, maintain and scale RAID storage to address the unique requirements of each target application and workflow. 

  • Host up to four RAID arrays including bootable volumes

  • Mix individual SSD configurations with RAID arrays

  • Optimize for Performance, Redundancy or a mix of both.


RAID Modes Tailored for Every Application


RAID 0 (Striping) - Also known as a “stripe” array, this mode delivers Maximum Performance and capacity by linking multiple NVMe SSD's together to act as a single storage unit.


RAID 1 (Mirroring) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and is ideal for applications that require an extra layer of data security, such as a bootable volume.


RAID 10 (Security & Speed) - RAID 10 offers a “best of both worlds” by leveraging striping with mirroring technology; two RAID 1 arrays are striped together to maximize performance. RAID 10 is capable of delivering read performance on par with RAID 0.


Advanced RAID Features


Unlock Advanced RAID Capabilities with HighPoint Storage Technology.


Bootable RAID Support: Maximize performance and capacity with RAID 0 striping or mitigate the threat of downtime with RAID 1 mirroring


Online RAID Roaming: Move RAID configurations between HighPoint AICs or Adapters without reconfiguration


Cross-Sync RAID Technology: Combine up to 16 SSDs across as many as four AICs into a single unified RAID volume for unapparelled performance and capacity.


Comprehensive Management Tools

HighPoint NVMe RAID AICs include robust management and monitoring utilities for administrators of all skill levels:

FRU (Field Replicable Unit) Support: The Rocket 7604A is a field replaceable unit (FRU); the VPD stored on each adapter enables customers and service providers to easily procure replacements with the correct firmware/driver combination. 

Intelligent Pro-Active Cooling Solution

Rocket 7604A AICs are equipped with a powerful, ultra-efficient hardware cooling solution comprised of an anodized aluminum heatsink with an integrated low-decibel cooling fan, multiple layers of high-efficiency thermal padding, and a ventilated PCIe bracket. The solution rapidly transfers waste heat away from the hosted M.2 media and Switch chipset, and keep the performance-sapping threat of thermal throttling at bay.

On the software side, Rocket 7604A AICs leverage our proven SHI (Storage Health Inspector) solution. 


SHI utilizes SMART technology to log & report the physical characteristics of each SSD, such as temperature, voltage and endurance (Total Bytes Written / Disk Writes per Day).

HighPoint SafeStorage SED Solution

Rocket 7604A AICs are protected by SafeStorage -  a state-of-the-art data encryption solution for OPAL SSC compliant SED drives and arrays. 

Stored data is automatically locked down whenever storage is unplugged from the AIC, effectively preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information should physical disks be misplaced or stolen.
