High-Performance 8-Channel PCIe Gen3 M.2 NVMe Connectivity Solution

R1000 Series NVMe HBAs are fully independent, stand-alone NVMe storage solutions for PCIe Gen3 platforms; they are not tied to a specific motherboard, chipset or operating system, can be easily integrated into any motherboard or server/workstation platform with a free PCIe 3.0/4.0 x16 and are capable of supporting off-the-shelf M.2 NVMe SSDs of any capacity.

The Rocket 1108 is the industry's fastest PCIe Gen3 NVMe connectivity HBA. The eight independent device ports can support off-the-shelf M.2 SSDs of any capacity.

Built-in High-speed, Intelligent Switch Chipset

The Rocket 1108 NVMe HBA's performance-focused hardware architecture leverages intelligent PCIe switch technology to ensure maximum transfer bandwidth is available for each device port, at all times. Up to x4 lanes of host bandwidth are allocated to each M.2 NVMe SSD, as needed.

Native, In-Box NVMe Device Driver Support

HighPoint NVMe HBAs were designed with simplicity in mind. All you need is a little patience and a screwdriver; just install the M.2 SSD's and plug in the card!

Rocket 1000 Series HBAs are natively supported by all major Windows and macOS operating system platforms, VMware ESXi and current distributions of Linux.

You won't need to juggle a series of device drivers, install a complex software suite, or master a specialized management interface. Your NVMe SSDs will be automatically recognized, and can be prepped and mounted using the operating system's standard tool set.

Ultra-High-Performance NVMe Storage Solution

Rocket 1000 Series NVMe HBA's can host RAID arrays created using the operating systems built-in storage management tools.

macOS Disk Utility and Windows Disk Management can configure RAID 0 arrays using 2 or more NVMe SSDs.

Supports any Off-the-Shelf M.2 NVMe SSD | Any Capacity, Any Generation & Any Form-Factor..

Rocket 1000 series M.2 ports are capable of supporting any industry standard off- the-shelf M.2 NVMe SSD

NAND Form Factor: Single & Double-Sided

M.2 Form Factor: 2280, 2260, 2242

Low-Noise Hyper Cooling Solution

The Rocket 1108 employs our new ultra- efficient, Hyper-Cooling solution designed specifically for large M.2 configurations. The Hyper-Cooling system combines a high-conductivity thermal pad with an anodized aluminum heatsink equipped with dual built-in, low noise fans. This design ensures the M.2 SSDs, NVMe chipset and RAID componentry remain cool, even under heavy load, while minimizing the risk of distraction in the work environment.
