The RocketStor 6418AS utilizes high-performance mini-SAS connectivity to directly support SAS/SATA hard drives or SSDs in one or RAID storage configurations. The robust and secure mini-SAS connector delivers a maximum data transfer bandwidth, and is an ideal solution for business or mission critical workstations that require highly sustained storage performance. The RocketStor 6418AS is ideal for RAID 5/6 SATA and SAS storage applications that require maximum sustained of RAID 5/6 performance. Dedicated hardware RAID 5/6 engines allow the RocketStor 6418AS to work independently and minimize the RAID operation's impact on the host system or system loads impact storage performance. DV mode technology intelligently manages the flow of large data blocks & write-back caching to minimize latency and ensure consistent, sustained high-performance transfers for media-rich applications.
The RocketStor 6418AS has integrated a series of preemptive security measures to maximize storage uptime whenever data is needed. The RocketStor Storage Health Inspector (SHI) proactively maintains the health of arrays by examining each drive for failed sectors & dynamically repair/remap on the fly to keep storage ready & able. HighPoint hardware RAID solutions feature built-in NVRAM, which constantly tracks in-progress writes to preserve the integrity of data in the event of a drive failure or system crash, and streamline recovery procedures while minimizing downtime. Administrators can initialize or schedule RAID verification sessions that check each disk member of an array for parity consistency. If any parity related problems are found, the interface will immediately rebuild the array to ensure the integrity of your data.
