<b>RocketStor 5422: 2nd Generation USB 3.0 Storage Dock – Dual-Dedicated 5Gb/s with UAS</b>
The RocketStor 5422 is the industry's fastest dual-bay USB 3.0 storage dock, and is ideal for high-speed 6Gb/s SATA SSD's and 4TB hard drives. The innovative dual-5Gb/s bay architecture and UAS support deliver an unprecedented level of transfer bandwidth for a USB-based storage solution.
<b>No Compromise High Performance</b>
The RocketStor 5422 gives you the freedom to use any off-the-shelf SATA disk – from today's fastest SSD's and high-capacity multi-terabyte hard drives, to cost-effective SATA I and II devices. Only RocketStor Storage Docks deliver the performance and versatility you need to take full advantage of your Ivy Bridge based notebook or MacBook's independent USB 3.0 ports. The RocketStor 5422 is fully compatible with Mac and PC desktop and portable computing platforms.
<b>RocketStor 5422: USB 3.0 UAS Enabled</b>
Maximizing the Performance Capability of SATA Storage over USB 3.0 Connectivity
The RocketStor 5422 can deliver unprecedented levels of storage performance when paired with UAS capable USB 3.0 controllers and HBA's, such as the RocketU 1144C. UAS enables USB 3.0 devices to store and process multiple commands in parallel; significantly reducing wait time and streamlining data transfers. The speed and efficiency advantages provided by UAS technology are ideal for multi-tasking and performance-hungry applications.
UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs) and thumb/flash drives. UAS is dependent on the USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set. UAS offers maximized bandwidth utilization, and can handle multiple data transfer requests simultaneously, unlike the slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only Transport), which only provides single-task commands – each task must complete before the next begins. As a result, USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization. UAS clears data queues faster, which results in smoother-operating PC's.
