The RocketRAID 35xx series is based on HighPoint’s TerabyteArchitecture and high-

performing Intel® IOP341 I/O Processor delivers enterprise-class SATA RAID 5 and

RAID 6 performance for storage applications that need high bandwidth and high

capacity sequential performance. The Intel® IOP341(800MHz) I/O Processor is one of

the industry’s highest performing RAID I/O processor engines for multi-channel

SATA hardware RAID 5/6 controllers. The RocketRAID 35xx series of PCI-Express

hardware RAID controllers leverages HighPoint TerabyteArchitecture and a power-

ful Intel® IOP341 I/O Processor to deliver the industry’s leading RAID 6 performance.

The RocketRAID 35xx series offer a comprehensive line of hardware RAID controllers

via cutting edge multi-lane connectors from 4,8,12,16 and 24 ports. All RocketRAID

35xx series controllers support RAID level 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD.

The RocketRAID 35xx series offers a robust hardware RAID 6 protection, an addi-

tional disk drive failure tolerance provided by a second independent distributed parity

scheme. It provides protection for mission-critical data from two concurrent disk

failures. For instance, eliminating the risk of data loss if a second drive fails while

rebuilding is in process.

An optional Battery Back Up with integrated write journaling enhances data availabil-

ity through rapid data recovery from power outage events.
