A HighPoint revealed an external storage solution that draws attention to both capacity and speed. With 976 Terabytes of Space e transfer rates that reach 28 GB/sthe new system is based on the RocketStor 6542AW and meets highly specialized demands in corporate and professional environments that deal with large volumes of data.
Almost a portable storage petabyte
Rocketsor 6542AW is an external unit of compact dimensions – 9.25 x 4.84 x 9.27 inches – which accommodate up to 976 tbusing eight SSDS Solidigm D5-P5336 of 122 tb each.
The choice for drives U.2 PCIe 4.0 with memory QLC Nand 3D 192 Layers allows the solution to deliver sequential reading speeds from to 7,400 MB/s and recording from up to 3,200 MB/sper unit. Together, when configured in RAID, the discs reach high performance.
Focused on critical applications
The system was designed to Intensive data applicationslike massive backup, very high resolution video rendering, Machine Learning and business loads.
Although the general public is unlikely to need – or budget – for something of this size, for specific sectors this proposal may represent a significant long -term operational economy.
Supported by RAID 0, 1 e 10Rocketsctor 6542AW offers flexibility for different performance levels and redundancy. You Bays are hot-swappablefacilitating the exchange of units without turning off the system, and the chassis includes two fans and its own source, reinforcing continuous operation.
Unconventional connectivity
Unlike ordinary external SSDs, the Rocketsctor 6542Aw does not connect via traditional USB. The model uses a interface CDFP coupled to the adapter Rocket 1544 PCIewhich needs a slot PCIe 4.0 x16 Available on the host computer.
The connection is able to transmit up to 400 GB/sequivalent to 32 GB/S.but in practice the limit of the current solution is 28 GB/srestricted by the speed of the SSDs themselves used.
The rear of the device includes a series of doors and controls: 100 Mbps Ethernet Port, USB-C with limited function (USB 2.0), USB-C mode keypower button, alarm button and TRAVA KENSINGTON.
Estimated price exceeds R $ 740 thousand

Remember that the company allows you to purchase the chassis separately and that SSDs can be purchased separately, which can open margin for specific negotiations and customizations.
The combination of large capacity, extreme performance and compact format makes Rocketsctor 6542AW a viable option for critical and large -scale backup applications and backup

Considerable evolution in relation to the previous generation
For comparative purposes, the company’s previous solution – the RocketAIC 6542AWWwith 491.52 tb – is offered by US$ 78.999. This positions the new system as a more powerful alternative and also as a monster evolution in scalability and slot performance.
Even without appeal to the standard consumer market, the arrival of the device only demonstrates how the professional storage sector is advancing towards speeds that, until recently, were restricted to data centers.
