Three New Rockets from HighPoint... [11/30/2001 12:31 AM]
by Anna Filatova
HighPoint Technologies announced new members in their Rocket controller card family. Here they are:
  • RocketRAID 133. This is a simpler version of the already announced RocketRAID 404 (see this news story) with two ATA/133 channels instead of 4. It also supports RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and JBOD, but with fewer drives: RAID 0 (2-4 HDDs), 1 (2 HDDs), 0+1 (4 HDDs), JBOD (2-4 HDDs), hot spare and hot swap (with brand Rocket Mate chassises). There is no audio signal support.
  • Rocket133. This is a regular 2-channel (2 HDDs per channel) low-profile ATA/133 controller card based on HPT372 chip. It hardly looks any different from RocketRAID133 that is why we cannot add anything else to its description.
  • Rocket133S. This controller is a bit more interesting than the other two, though it is also a bit strange. This is a single-channel ATA/133 low-profile controller card based on HPT371 chip. To tell the truth, we don’t remember any single-channel ATA controllers (i.e. supporting only 2 HDDs). Of course, we do understand that it was made to reduce the controller cost as much as possible but will you save a real lot then? We doubt that there are too many differences between the HPT371 chips and its dual-channel counterpart. If there are any...
Of course, all the three controllers support HDDs with the storage capacity over 137GB (the limit imposed by the older ATA interfaces) and are provided with the drivers for Windows 98/ME, Windows NT4.0, Win2000 and Linux (Debian, Caldera, RedHat, SuSE).
