The HighPoint RocketRAID 3520 is an 8-channel PCI-E x8 to Serial ATA II RAID controller. The RocketRAID 3520 solution designed for enterprise storage applications
such as NAS solutions, workgroup and web servers, video streaming / video
editing workstations, data archiving/back up, and security systems.
HighPoint’s industry-leading professional RAID storage host bus adapters for Enterprise level Server and Workstation applications, provide unparalleled levels of performance and 24/7 reliability. The RocketRAID 3500 series are true hardware RAID controllers; integrating state of the art I/O processors, onboard cache and powered by HighPoint’s powerful TerabyteArchitecture technology.
The Intel IOP341(800MHz) is one of the industry’s
highest performing RAID I/O processor engines
for multi-channel SATA hardware RAID 5/6 controllers.
The RocketRAID 3500 series of PCI-Express
hardware RAID controllers leverage the ADMA
architecture in the Intel IOP341(800MHz) to deliver
the industry’s leading RAID 6 performance with
sustained transfer rates over 780MB/s Read
and over 685MB/s Write.
