RocketStor 5422A - Dual USB3.0, 2x 3.5"/2.5" SSD/HDD
HighPoint RocketStor 5422A: Dual-Dedicated UAS Enabled 5Gb/s USB 3.0 Storage Dock
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.
RocketStor USB Storage Docks leverage dual-dedicated 5Gb/s engines to deliver the Industry’s fastest USB 3.0 connectivity for SATA storage devices
Unlike conventional USB docks and enclosures, each of the RocketStor’s 5422A two device bays is powered by a dedicated 5Gb/s USB 3.0 controller. This innovative architecture provides an unprecedented level of transfer bandwidth for a USB-based storage solution, delivering the fastest SATA performance possible over USB 3.0 connectivity.
UAS Performance Boost: Maximizing the Performance Capability of USB 3.0 devices
UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices. 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.
USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization.
Unlike standard docks that share a single USB 3.0 controller between multiple bays, the RocketStor 5422A’s dual dedicated 5Gb/s SATA bays ensure both drives can fully exploit the benefits of UAS.
