Advanced Architecture Maximizes Capacity and Performance
RocketAIC 7608AW drives deliver unparalleled storage density in a compact, single-width PCIe AIC form factor, providing up to 64TB of Gen5 storage performance for a wide range of data-intensive applications. All 8 M.2 SSDs are integrated into one side of the PCB to ensure the drive maintains a slim profile, and provides the necessary clearance to prevent interference with adjacent PCIe devices.
Industry Proven PCIe Gen5 Switch Technology
RocketAIC 7608AW series NVMe drives incorporate state-of-the-art PCIe Gen5 Switching technology and are capable of delivering nearly 60GB/s of transfer speed and up to 12 million IOPS!
The innovative hardware architecture provides x48 lanes of internal bandwidth, and enables the RocketAIC 7608AW drive to allocate x16 lanes of dedicated upstream bandwidth to the host connection, and x4 lanes to each M.2 SSD, while optimizing signal integrity and minimizing latency to maximize data throughput.
Equipped with Class-Leading PCIe Gen5 & Gen4 M.2 NVMe Media
Customers can select from three models, each of which is capable of delivering nearly 60GB/s of transfer speed.
Intelligent, Pro-Active PCIe Gen5 Cooling Solution
RocketAIC 7608AW’s intelligent Pro-Active PCIe Gen5 cooling solution employs a Full-Length Aluminum Heatsink with copper SSD contacts, two layers of thermal padding and a powerful low-decibel cooling to maximize the lifespan and transfer performance of the integrated M.2 media. The advanced hardware cooling system was designed to work in conjunction with a suite of pro-active monitoring and management tools designed to keep temperatures in check under the most grueling working conditions.
Optimize NVME Storage HighPoint with Active Sensor Logging!
RocketAIC 7608AW AIC SSDs' incorporate a real-time NVMe logging system that tracks and records the temperature, fan-speed and power consumption of the AIC/Adapter and each hosted SSD. The system can record 5-working days of data, which are presented via simple graphs and line charts.
These records can be exported as needed, and can help administrators optimize storage configurations for specific workflows by analyzing the electrical characteristics and thermal status of each SSD at peak I/O, or narrow the scope of troubleshooting tasks by identifying potential faults and at-risk storage media, and then implement preventative measures to maximize the lifespan of the RAID array and maintain optimal performance.
Intuitive Onboard LED notification system
A built-in LED notification system enables administrators to instantly assess the current status, temperature and host connectivity of the RocketAIC 7608AW and hosted NVMe storage. One Led is provided for each of the 8 device channels; these are designed to work in tandem with a dedicated Status and Fault LED – simple color coding and flashing patterns can indicate everything from the strength of the current PCIe connection to progress of a RAID rebuild session.

SafeStorage NVMe SSD Encrption Solution
RocketAIC 7608AW NVMe AIC SSDs are protected by HighPoint’s 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.
