RocketU 1144E
Introducing the RocketU 1144E: Versatile Connectivity - 5Gb/s USB3.0 & 6Gb/s eSATA on Single HBA!
The RocketU 1144E maximizes the performance potential of USB 3.0 and 6Gb/s SATA storage devices. The revolutionary, dedicated per-port performance architecture allows each storage device to take full advantage of the PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface. The dual 5Gb/s USB 3.0 ports support all industry standard USB 3.0 devices while the dual 6Gb/s eSATA ports are optimized for today's fastest SATA SSD's and high-capacity hard drives.
Versatile Connectivity - USB 3.0 & eSATA on a single HBA!
The RocketU 1144E supports represents the industry's most versatile 4-port HBA.
With support for both USB 3.0 and eSATA devices, the RocketU 1144E is an ideal storage upgrade for any PCI-E capable PC.
Maximized Performance
The RocketU 1144E benefits from HighPoint's innovative per-port performance architecture. Each device port has a dedicated controller to ensure maximum performance for all SATA storage devices.
Unleashing the Next -Level of USB 3.0 Performance!
UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs) and thumb/flash drives. UAS is dependent on the USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set.
UAS offers maximized bandwidth utilization, and can handle multiple data transfer requests simultaneously, unlike the slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only Transport), which only provides single-task commands – each task must complete before the next begins. As a result, USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization. UAS clears data queues faster, which results in smoother-operating PC's.
UAS combined with HighPoint's revolutionary per-port performance architecture, boosts transfer performance to new levels!
