Introducing the RocketU 1144E: Versatile Connectivity - 5Gb/s USB3.0 & 6Gb/s eSATA on Single HBA!

The RocketU 1144E maximizes the performance potential of USB 3.0 and 6Gb/s SATA storage devices. The revolutionary, dedicated per-port performance architecture allows each storage device to take full advantage of the PCIe 2.0 x4 host interface. The dual 5Gb/s USB 3.0 ports support all industry standard USB 3.0 devices while the dual 6Gb/s eSATA ports are optimized for today's fastest SATA SSD's and high-capacity hard drives. The RocketU 1122's 10Gb/s transfer bandwidth is ideal for high-speed SATA SSD's, and is the perfect USB 3.0 storage upgrade for any PCI-E capable PC platform.

The RocketU 1144F is the industry's fastest 4-Port 5Gb/s USB controller card and is powered by our proven per-port-performance architecture. Each of the four independent USB 3.2 5Gb/s device ports features a dedicated 5Gb/s controller, and is backed by a PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface. The RocketU 1144F is optimized for USB 3.x storage devices and peripherals, and is well suited for a wide-range of applications including portable/removable storage, storage expansion, personal media libraries and backup solutions.

Direct Replacement & Performance Upgrade: Although the RocketU 1144F is a direct upgrade for the RocketU 1144D USB 3.0 PCIe 2.0 x4 HBA, it doubles the available PCIe bandwidth to USB 3.0 x4. This is ideal for applications that require support for up to four SATA SSDs via a USB 3.1/3.2 drive enclosure; each SSD will be able to operate at full speed, simultaneously.

Type A USB Connectors for Maximum Compatibility
The RocketU 1144x Series utilizes USB Type-A connectors for maximum compatibility with all industry-standard USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.2 peripherals including printers and scanners, storage, card readers and interface devices.

Unleash the 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 3.2 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.

UAS Performance Boost
RocketU HBA's can deliver even higher levels of performance when paired with UAS capable storage devices, such as RocketStor USB 3.x Storage Docks. The speed and efficiency advantages provided by UAS technology are ideal for multi-tasking and performance-hungry applications.

UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices. UAS is dependent on the USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set.

Unlike the slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only Transport), which only provides single-task commands; each task must complete before the next begins, UAS offers maximized bandwidth utilization, and can handle multiple data transfer requests simultaneously. As a result, USB 3.x 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.

The RocketU 1244C is the industry's fastest USB Host Controller. Each of the four USB Type-C ports is fully independent, and powered by a dedicated 10Gb/s USB 3.2 controller chip, backed by a robust PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface. This unique host controller architecture ensures each hosted USB device can operate at peak performance without saturating the bus or taxing system resources.

Dedicated Per-Port Performance Architecture

4x 1000MB/s Transfer Bandwidth

Unlike most USB controllers in today's marketplace, the RocketU 1244C supports four independent USB Type-C ports, each of which is powered by a dedicated USB 3.2 10Gb/s controller. This unique Per-Port Performance architecture enables each RocketU 1244C to deliver up to 4000MB/s of transfer bandwidth.

Blazing Fast PCIe 3.0 x8 Host Interface

The blazing fast PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface works in tandem with our Per-Port Performance architecture to ensure each individual USB port can deliver 1000MB/s of transfer bandwidth at all times, even in cases where each port is occupied and under heavy load.

Dedicated USB Controllers Provide Independent Device Paths & Power Delivery

The RocketU 1244C's four dedicated USB 3.2 controllers enable each port to work independently and deliver up to 7.5W of power for device operation or charging purposes. The innovative PCB layout provides a dedicated USB connection pathway for each port; hosted USB devices can operate at peak performance, without the risk of interference by neighboring USB connections.

Ideal for High-Speed Data Acquisition & Capture Applications

The RocketU 1244C's performance-focused HBA architecture was designed for workflows that demand ease of integration, hot-plug capability, and rapid file transfer. The four independent 1000MB/s USB ports and PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface can easily accommodate a wide range of high-speed data acquisition applications, including imaging and capture solutions, security systems, and media archiving.

The Industry's Fastest 4-Port USB HBA

The RocketU 1344A is the latest iteration of HighPoint's industry-leading 4-port USB HBA's, and delivers uncompromised USB 3.1 Gen2 10Gb/s per-port transfer bandwidth.
The RocketU 1344A has been optimized for USB storage devices such as external drives, drive docks and drive enclosures. However, the four universal Type-A ports are fully capable of supporting USB 1.0/2.0/3.x peripherals and input devices such as printers & scanners, mice & trackballs or flash drives and card readers.
