The RocketRAID 452xSGL series 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBAs were designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional business and media applications, where consistent performance, data availability and reliability of storage are paramount.

8-Port, PCIe x8 2.0 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Hardware RAID HBA
The RocketRAID 452xSGL HBAs dedicated RAID-on-Chip processor and 512MB of onboard DDR 3 cache memory offloads RAID processing from the host system, ensuring stable and high-performance data transfer. RocketRAID 452xSGL HBAs are direct upgrades for our 3Gb/s RocketRAID 4300 Series Hardware RAID Controllers. Customers with existing RAID configurations can move these directly from the 4300 series controller to the RocketRAID 452xSGL HBA.

Superior Reliability
HighPoints comprehensive suite of data security, RAID recovery and storage maintenance features provide an unprecedented level of reliability.

HighPoint DV Mode Technology
Video professionals may find that even hardware RAID-based storage systems will experience inconsistent performance when capturing or editing high quality digital video, which can greatly impede or even cripple the post-production process. These inconsistencies are caused by standard RAID caching algorithms, which are designed for server environments rather than media applications.
HighPoint has introduced DV Mode, an innovative caching algorithm designed for the video production applications. DV Mode reorganizes I/O in order to minimize the latency time of write-back caching workflow. This innovative new technology maintains consistent, sustained high-performance data transfer a key component of any storage system dedicated to post production applications.
