The RocketStor 6318A is the industry’s most affordable 8-Bay Thunderbolt™ 2 Hardware RAID Tower Enclosure, and is an ideal solution for high-performance media applications.
Affordable without Compromising Hardware RAID Performance
Each stylish and compact brushed-aluminum 8-Bay tower enclosure is powered by our industry proven hardware RAID technology and dual 20Gbps Thunderbolt™ 2 ports, which supports fast, highly reliable RAID configurations.
Uncompromised Data Availability and Security
Administrators can initialize or schedule RAID verification sessions that check each disk or parity consistency; if any problems are found, the RocketStor 6318A will immediately rebuild the array to ensure the integrity of your data. Each solution includes our innovative SHI (Storage Health Inspector) utility suite. SHI allows customers to manage and monitor the health and status of each individual drive, and initialize or schedule Verification sessions to check the integrity of RAID arrays. SHI can Dynamically Repair or Remap disks on the fly, and initiate RAID rebuild sessions automatically, to ensure your storage remains ready and able.
Superior Performance
HighPoint’s industry proven hardware RAID-on-Chip architecture incorporates dedicated ARM based processors and RAID5/6 CRC32 engines with internal DDR3 memory to optimize transfer speeds and accelerate access times. This allows the RocketStor 6318A to work independently and minimize the storage configuration's impact on the computing platform’s resources, thereby enhancing performance for the entire system. Our innovative DV Mode Technology intelligently manages the flow of large data blocks and write-back caching in order to minimize latency and ensure consistent, sustained high-performance transfers for media-rich applications.
Open-Box Storage Approach
the RocketStor 6318A features an “open-box” approach to storage, which grants customers the freedom to use their choice of SAS or SATA drive; SSD’s for performance or large hard disks for maximum capacity, from all major drive brands including HGST, Seagate, Toshiba and WDC. In addition, each solution provides advanced configuration features for customers that need to fine tune storage for specific applications or create multiple arrays, such as RAID Rebuild Priority, RAID Block Size selection, and DV Mode.
The removable hot-swap bays support any 2.5” or 3.5” Enterprise /NAS class SATA / SAS Hard Drive or SSD of your choice, and up to 64TB of total Storage Capacity in Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD configurations!
Comprehensive and User Friendly Management Suite
The RocketStor 6318A includes a user-friendly web-based management interface available for Windows and Mac OSX operating systems. Novices and experts alike, can quickly and easily configure, monitor, maintain and troubleshoot RAID configurations and individual storage devices, all from a single, unified software suite.
Advanced Management Features allow customers to configure Email notification to inform one or more users of changing storage conditions while outside of the work environment, and manage storage remotely via a local network connection.
