In the fast-paced world of high-performance computing, the demand for compact yet powerful storage solutions is at an all-time high. While full-length and full-height (FH/FL) form factors for 4x M.2 AICs (Add-in Cards) have been the norm, they often clash with the space constraints of small form factor (SFF) builds and compact rackmount environments. To address this challenge, HighPoint has introduced the revolutionary Rocket 7604A, the industry’s shortest 4x M.2 Gen5 x16 NVMe RAID AIC, designed to transform compact computing environments into high-performance powerhouses.
Key Features
Ultra-Compact Design: The Rocket 7604A is an ultra-compact half-length PCIe Gen5 x16 4-port M.2 NVMe RAID AIC. The AIC’s tidy 167mm x 110mm dimensions and FH-HL form factor makes it ideal for high-end gaming platforms, professional workstations, and rackmount chassis, where space is at a premium.
Class-Leading Gen5 Storage Performance: With a staggering throughput of 64GB/s and 12 million IOPS, the Rocket 7604A sets a new standard for storage performance. This makes it perfect for data-intensive media and industrial applications that require lightning-fast data transfer speeds.
4 Independent M.2 Ports: The AIC offers up to 32TB of storage capacity via a single PCIe slot, thanks to its four independent M.2 ports. This flexibility allows users to expand their storage capabilities without sacrificing performance or space.
Seamless Compatibility: The Rocket 7604A is designed to work seamlessly with both ARM and x86 Intel/AMD platforms, ensuring broad compatibility across a wide range of computing environments.
Proven NVMe RAID Technology: The AIC supports RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations, leveraging HighPoint’s proven NVMe RAID technology. This provides users with the flexibility to optimize their storage for speed, redundancy, or a balance of both.
Advanced Thermal Management: To maintain optimal performance, the Rocket 7604A features an advanced thermal management system. The robust, low-decibel cooling fan and full-length heatsink were engineered to work in tandem with HighPoint’s proactive hardware sensor and logging suite to ensure the AIC operates within safe temperature ranges, even under heavy loads.
