HighPoint Technologies, Inc has unveiled the newest member of its flagship Rocket 7600 Series — the Rocket 7624A PCIe Gen 5 x16 to 2-MCIOx8 NVMe RAID Adapter.
Building on the Rocket 7628A proven hardware architecture, the Rocket 7624A delivers uncompromised PCIe Gen 5 x16 bandwidth and professional-grade NVMe RAID capabilities at an unprecedented sub-$1,000 price point — making it the industry’s most Cost-Performance PCIe Gen 5 x16 NVMe RAID adapter to date.
By democratizing access to Gen 5 NVMe connectivity, the Rocket 7624A enables customers to integrate scalable, high-performance RAID storage into workstations, edge servers, and data-intensive applications that would otherwise be limited by budgetary constraints.
The Rocket 7624A’s PCIe Switching architecture allocates x16 lanes of dedicated downstream bandwidth, delivering up to 32 GB/s aggregate throughput and ensuring uncompromised Gen 5 performance for all hosted NVMe devices.
Each of the dual MCIOs supports up to four U.2/U.3 or E3.S drives, providing x8 lanes of dedicated PCIe Gen 5 x8 bandwidth and hot-swap support for UBM backplanes.
HighPoint’s proven NVMe RAID technology enables the Rocket 7624A to support Single-Disk, RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations. UEFI-HII enables support for bootable RAID arrays and enables administrators to prep storage configurations outside of an OS.
HighPoint’s comprehensive Pro/RAID Management suite consists of the WebGUI (an intuitive web-based graphical interface, the CLI (and advanced command line interface), and the UEFI-HII tool (which provides bootable RAID capability and pre-OS RAID configuration). Integrated Out-of-Band (BMC/MCTP over PCIe) management support is ideal for enterprise and data-center environments.
The Rocket 7624A’s advanced Cooling Solution combines a full-length aluminum heat exchanger with a copper piping system to efficiently dissipate heat from the switch IC and controller componentry. Integrated hardware sensors and an innovative, real-time temperature logging and drive health analytics suite enable administrators to keep close tabs on the adapter and drive media, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.
The Rocket 7624A delivers up to 32GB/s of transfer performance and nearly half a petabyte of Gen 5 Storage, providing an immediate, cost-effective upgrade path for a wide range of professional applications, including media and post-production, High-Speed Data Acquisition, AI/ML Workloads, and Enterprise Edge Computing.
The HighPoint Rocket 7624A PCIe Gen 5 x16 to 2-MCIOx8 NVMe RAID Adapter is available now through HighPoint’s global network of authorized distributors and retail partners at a target MSRP of USD $999.
