- Performance Companion for high-speed USB 3.0 Storage
Unleashing the Next -Level of USB 3.0 Performance!
UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs) and thumb/flash drives. UAS is dependent on the USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set.
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. As a result, USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization. UAS clears data queues faster, which results in smoother-operating PC's.
New Compatibility Breakthrough! Supports all Industry Standard USB2/USB3 Devices
The RocketU 1144C is an all-in-one, USB 3.0 connectivity solution for any PCIe capable desktop and workstation PC's.
In addition to high-performance storage devices, the RocketU 1144C's 3rd generation USB 3.0 architecture supports industry standard USB 2.0 and 3.0 peripherals, such as device hubs, card readers and interface devices.
UAS combined with HighPoint's revolutionary per-port performance architecture, boosts transfer performance to new levels!
Performance Potential of USB Storage
Unlike conventional USB cards that are best used as simple device hubs, RocketU HBA's are uniquely suited for high-speed USB 3.0 storage configurations. With dedicated 5Gb/s per-port performance, also ideal for a variety of external storage configurations including multi-drive bays, RAID enclosures, and external SSD's.
Upgrade any PC with 20Gb/s of USB 3.0 Bandwidth!
The RocketU 1144C is optimized for today's fastest USB 3.0 hard drives and SSD's, and is well suited for a wide-range of applications including portable/removable storage, storage expansion, personal media libraries, and backup solutions. Designed with ease of installation and maximum compatibility in mind, RocketU 1144C HBA's can be used with any free PCIe 2.0/1.0 x4, x8 or x16 slot. The RocketU 1144C is fully compliant with the xHCI specification, and is natively supported by Windows 8 and Linux distributions that utilize kernel v2.6.31.
