HighPoint 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA’s
RocketRAID 2720C2
16-Channel Dual PCI-Express2.0 x8 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s
Cross-Sync RAID Solution
Cross-Sync RAID Solution Delivers 4GB/s Storage Performance!
HighPoint’s 6Gb/s Cross-Sync RAID
Solution aims to revolutionize DAS
applications. Cross-Sync synchronizes up
to two RocketRAID 2720C2 controller
cards to work as a single RAID storage
unit. The Cross-Sync RAID Solution
provides 16 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s Ports over a
Dual PCIe 2.0 x8 Host Interface, and is
capable of delivering up to 4GB/s of
transfer performance!
Tuned for High-Speed
Applications: Cross-Sync Delivers
4GB/s Storage Performance!
HighPoint’s Cross-Sync RAID Solution
eliminates the performance bottlenecks
associated with high-port count
controllers, allowing the RocketRAID
2720C2 HBA’s to fully exploit the Dual
PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface, and operate
at their full potential. 16-disk Cross-Sync
RAID configurations are capable of
delivering transfer performance over
4.0GB/s – ideal for professional HD
media projects, video streaming devices,
and A/V post production workstations.
Dynamic Storage Expansion
The RocketRAID 2720C2 Cross-Sync
RAID Solution delivers an
unprecedented level of flexibility and
control; solution providers and
administrators can custom tailor, scale,
and fine-tune storage configurations to
suit any platform and application.
The Cross-Sync RAID Solution can link up
to 2 storage controllers for highperformance 16-disk RAID arrays, or as
many as 4 storage controllers for largescale 32-disk JBOD configurations.
Advanced feat ures such as Online
Capacity Expansion (OCE) and Online
RAID Level Migration (ORLM) allow
clients to expand, upgrade or convert
existing storage configurations as
needed without compromising data.
The Cross-Sync RAID Solution
maximizes the performance of smallfootprint storage configurations, and
is ideal for compact storage chassis
and workstation environments.
RocketRAID 2720C2 Cross-Sync RAID
Solutions double the performance of
SAS Expander configurations and are
capable of supporting up to 128
storage devices.
Comprehensive Platform Support
The RocketRAID 2720C2 Cross-Sync RAID
Solution utilizes industry-standard MiniSAS connectivity for maximum
compatibility. The PCI-Express 2.0 host
interface and low-profile form-factor
allows Cross-Sync HBA’s to be easily
integrated into any workstation or
server PC platform, and industry
standard 3.5” or 2.5” storage chassis.
