The RocketRAID 600 series are designed to optimize storage performance and redundancy with RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 with port multiplier enclosure, and JBOD.

Storage connected directly to the RocketRAID 600 series data ports deliver the highest performance while external disk enclosures with port multiplier device will enable higher storage capacities

The RocketRAID 622enables the use of the industry’s newest and fastest hard drives at 6Gb/s while providing backward compatibility to legacy 1.5 or 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cable and connectors as previous SATA generations to ease integration.

The RocketRAID 600 Series offers the next generation of SATA and eSATA 6Gb/s connectivity support to port multiplier enclosures for a maximum of 10 SATA devices.

Using PCI-Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of existing PCI-Express bus for faster data throughput. Each PCI-Express lane provides up 500MB/s of throughput. It is also backward compatible with previous generation.
