HighPoint U.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 RAID Host Adaptor

Double Capacity & Maximise Write Performance for PCIe 3.0 x16 Host Connectivity

HighPoint SSD718x Series high port count (HPC) NVMe RAID controllers are ideal for professional applications that require a small-footprint, mass-storage NVMe solution that can take full advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x16 transfer bandwidth. This performance-focused NVMe RAID architecture ensures that up to x4 lanes can be assigned to each device channel to ensure maximum transfer throughput – ideal for professional media workstation and server environments designed to support a wide range of editing, rendering, capture and streaming applications.

HighPoint HPC U.2 NVMe Controllers allow customers to complete saturate the PCIe 3.0 bus-bandwidth with sustained write performance over 14,000MB/s, while simultaneously supporting up to 120TB of storage capacity!

Please Note: HighPoint do not guarantee secure connectivity, stability, or compatibility with unqualified third-party devices or accessories, only HighPoint Certified cables and enclosures may be used in their storage products and solutions. Compatible cables for this product include 8643-8639-50 (LN86981), 8643-8643-0350 (LN109171), 8643-8643-060, OLX4-8643-061 (LN109170), 8644-8644-210, 8644-8644-220, RS6540S.

Massive Storage Capacity

Each high port count RAID controller features eight independent U.2 channels, and can support from 16TB up to 120TB of RAID and non-RAID NVMe storage. No other NVMe controllers in today’s marketplace can match the massive storage capability, blazing fast transfer rates or flexibility in such a compact package.

Truly Platform Independent NVMe RAID Solution

HighPoint high port count series NVMe RAID controllers are truly independent NVMe storage solutions. Unlike most NVMe devices in today’s marketplace, which are tied to a specific hardware platform or brand of SSD or motherboard, SSD7000 series controllers do not require a hardware environment with Bifurcation support, or any specialised software released by SSD manufacturers; any AMD or Intel motherboard with a dedicated PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can now support more than 120TB of NVMe storage, and experience sustained write performance in excess of 10GB/s via a single compact PCIe device.

Comprehensive RAID Storage Solution

• RAID 1/0 (Security & Speed) - RAID 1/0 (also known as RAID 10) requires a minimum of 4 NVMe SSD’s – it will mirror the data of one stripe array to a second, hidden stripe array for security.
• RAID 0 (Speed) – this mode delivers Maximum Performance, and requires a minimum of 2 NVMe SSD’s.
• RAID 1 (Security) - This mode creates a hidden duplicate of the target SSD, and requires 2 NVMe SSD’s to configure.

Flexible, Modular Cooling Solution

The SSD7180 and SSD7184 employ our new multi-stage cooling solution that combines an anodised aluminium heatsink with built-in, low noise fans. This design ensures the NVMe chipset and RAID componentry remain cool under heavy load while minimising the risk of distraction in the work environment.

Comprehensive NVMe RAID Management

When it comes to maintaining critical storage configurations, each customer has specific needs and preferences. The Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology. The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only management interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators. Comprehensive user guides are available for both interfaces are available from each controller’s Software Updates webpage.

Both interfaces were designed to streamline NVMe Storage Management. Customers can easily track TBW (Terabytes Written) and the temperature of each individual NVMe SSD, ensure the SSD7000 controller is using the fastest available PCIe slot, configure an event log with email notification, and monitor the status of critical RAID configurations in person or remotely via an internet connection.

HighPoint Certified Cable Accessories

We manufacture a selection of certified data cables for High Port Count series NVMe RAID controllers. HighPoint Certified Cable accessories are fully compliant with all current technology standards and have been rigorously tested with our SSD7280 and SSD7284 controller cards to ensure maximum transfer performance, secure connectivity, and ease of integration.

As we cannot guarantee secure connectivity, stability or compatibility with unqualified third-party devices or accessories, only HighPoint Certified cables and enclosures can be used with our storage products and solutions.
