Equipped with Samsung’s Class-Leading 980PRO M.2 SSDs
RocketAIC 6204AW NVMe series expansion drives are powered by our industry leading NVMe hardware architecture and Samsung’s proven 980 PRO series M.2 SSDs, which deliver client class -leading I/O performance and reliability.
RocketAIC 6204AW NVMe expansion drives were designed to maximize PCIe Gen3 storage performance and reliability for professional workflows, and are available with up to 8TB of capacity.
Your Choice: Maximum Transfer Speed & Capacity, Maximum Data Security, or the Best of Worlds!
RocketAIC NVMe Drives are capable of supporting bootable and data-only storage configurations, and were designed to accommodate a wide-range of high-performance workflows, including AI learning and AV systems, content creation and post-production platforms, and high-speed data ingestion and media capture solutions.
RocketAIC drives are shipped pre-configured to maximize performance and capacity, but can be easily reconfigured using our quick and intuitive management suite.
Striping - This mode delivers Maximum Performance and capacity by linking multiple NVMe SSDs together to act as a single storage unit.
Mirroring - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and is ideal for applications that require an extra layer of data security, including bootable volumes.
Security & Speed –This mode offers the best of both worlds. Two mirrored arrays are striped together to maximize performance with a layer of data redundancy.
Passive, Silent NVMe Cooling Solution
The RocketAIC 6204AW’s passive, completely silent cooling system is ideal for professional workflows that demand a quiet, controlled work environment. This system combines a full-length anodized aluminum heatsink with high-efficiency thermal padding designed to rapidly whisk waste heat away from critical componentry and the hosted 980 PRO SSDs, and ensure the drive operates at peak performance under the most demanding workloads.
Quick & Intuitive Management Suite
Though RocketAIC series drives are designed to work right out of the box, customers are free to install HighPoint’s intuitive WebGUI management software, which includes our SHI solution, and provides simple and quick real-time temperature monitoring and endurance tracking. Quick, and easily mastered, the WebGUI works with all modern web browsers and can be used to manage, configure and monitor every aspect of your RocketAIC NVMe drive with a few simple clicks.
Simple Integration
Integration could not be simpler; Just plug in the card, power on the system, and you are good to go! VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox, and other leading Virtualization Platforms include native hardware support for RocketAIC 6200A series drives- no device driver or application is required! The drive will be automatically recognized as an ordinary physical disk when installing your chosen platform. The same is true for all modern operating systems; Windows 11 and Server 2022, and all major Linux distributions such as RHEL, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux will automatically recognize the RocketAIC 6200A as an available disk.
