HighPoint Technologies – an industry pioneer of innovative SATA and SAS RAID host adapter manufacturing, today unleashes the Rocket 600 series - the industry’s first SATA 6 Gb/s host adapter based on PCI-Express 2.0 technology. The Rocket 600 series delivers the next generation of SATA performance with robust SATA connectivity and will be available at the beginning of November 2009.

The Rocket 600 series brings a new level of cost effective pricing and will help drive mass adoption to the next generation of SATA 6 Gb/s technology. They are fully industry standard AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) compliant and deliver Out-of-Box Ready installation for the majority of operating systems. The Rocket 600 series are backward compatible to PCI-Express 1.0 technology and (SATA 3 Gb/s & 1.5 Gb/s) devices. They use the same cable and connectors as previous SATA generations to ease integration.

Faster Raid.

Can't find what IOPs controller it uses, but checked out the manufacturers home page.

LOL "Up to 600MB/s" they advertise (then later) "up to 500MB/s on the PCI-E bus"

What's a hundred MB/s between friends?

I would like to know what IOPS controller they are using, see if it can handle either 5 or 6 hundred MB/s :)

Thats Mega Bytes per second btw

Not bad I guess if it can handle sustained operations and not bog down.

The ARC-1231ML does about 950 MB/s with my setup, sustained and rocks.

Yup. I know the difference between a B and a b :) Still 100 MB off.

Which means nothing today, it only supports 2 HDDs. So 500MB/s is plenty for even 2 X-25s :)

Stop stop stop stop, I aint doing it, nope, won't buy it. :Dizzy:
