Manage your storage drives with the RocketRAID 2720A Internal RAID Controller from HighPoint. This utility card installs within your system and allows you to manage multiple hard-disk and solid-state drives in a RAID format, making this ideal for tech experts looking to manage massive amounts of data locally.

Built on the PCIe 2.0 interface, this card gives you two SFF-8087 (mini-SAS) host ports which provides you with a total of eight 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA channels for drive management. You can configure your drives in various RAID modes including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and JBOD. The RocketRAID 2720A is backward compatible with 3 Gb/s SAS/SATA devices, PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 motherboards, and meet compliance with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. You can install the RocketRAID 2720A into an available x8 slot and, due to its low-profile design, it barely takes up any room within your case.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this support encryption?

A: Yes, you can use encryption software with the Highpoint RocketStor Enclosure.

Q: 2. Is this device supported in Linux kernel 4.15.3?

A: The HighPoint Ultra-High Performance, Flexible NVMe U.2 RAID Controller B&H # HISSD7120 will work on Linux Kernel 3.3 or later.

Q: 3. Will this work in a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, physical x16 slot? With all 4 NVMEs?

A: The HighPoint SSD7105 NVMe RAID Controller requires a full PCIe x 16 slot.

Q: 4. It will work on mac pro 5.1 pcie16x(2.0)? I believe individual drives (nvme 4.0) will work full, but raid will be negligible because of pcie 2.0. Am i right?

A: Nvme drives will typically be bottlenecked by PCIe 2.0 with or without RAID, and as such only SATA M.2 drives (via a PCIe card similar to this one) would be recommended for use with PCIe 2.0.

Q: 5. Can this run in a 4.0 16 slot in an 8x configuration? Meaning only 8 lanes.

A: That may not be recommended as the card is engineered to run in a system with a free PCIe 4.0 x16 or PCIe3.0 x16 slot.

Q: 6. What's the difference compared to HighPoint SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller?

A: The HighPoint SSD7540 has two fans and supports mounting 8 x M Key 2242, 2260, or 2280. The HighPoint SSD7749E has one fan, and allows mounting of 8 x E1.S NVMe (9.5 mm) or 4 x E1.S NVMe (15 mm).

Q: 7. Does this support win-10 Out of the Box?

A: Windows 10 would see the HighPoint RocketRAID 3740C PCIe Host Bus Adapter as a generic adapter. It's strongly recommended that you download the latest drivers for this to function properly.

Q: 8. Is this compatible with MACOS using M1 or M2 CPU?

A: Yes, the HighPoint RocketRAID 2722A External 8-Channel SAS-2 / SATA III PCIe 2.0 RAID Controller is compatible with MacOS being run on M1 and M2 chip computers.

Q: 9. Hi I just wanted to confirm if this has a hardware raid controller built-in? Also will there be continued Mac OS support?

A: Yes, the HighPoint RS6618V 8-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Enclosure uses a hardware RAID controller and supports Mac systems running macOS 10.13 and newer.

Q: 10. Can each thunderbolt be used to connect a different host computer so each can access drives at the same time?

A: The two ports are for daisy chaining devices but only one computer can be attached to a DAS at once.
