Dedicated 5Gb/s Performance
The dedicated USB 3.0 and SATA III controllers ensure the fastest performance possible over a USB connection. The dedicated 5Gb/s transfer bandwidth is ideal for today's fastest SATA SSD's and hard drives.
UAS Performance Boost
The RocketStor 5411A is fully UASP compliant and is designed to maximize the performance capability of USB 3.0 devices. UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices 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. USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization.
SMART Green Energy Ready: Automatically Spins down the drive when there is no I/O activity or the System enters Sleep Mode
The RocketStor 5411A supports common Power Management features provided by Windows and OS X operating systems, such as Sleep Mode. The RocketRAID 5411A and the hosted drive will enter a low-power state when the operating system enters standby or sleep modes, in order to conserve energy and maintain optimal efficiency.
Availability and Pricing
The RocketStor 5411A is available immediately from HighPoint's world-wide network of Distribution and Retail channels.
