HighPoint 3742AĀ Overview
Designed to maximize the uptime and accessibility of RAID storage, theĀ RocketRAID 3742A PCIe Host Bus AdapterĀ fromĀ HighPointĀ fits into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot on your host Windows, Mac, or Linux system using an included low-profile bracket. It is equipped with two internal SFF-8643 and two external SFF-8644 mini-SAS ports, supporting a total of sixteen SAS-3 12 Gb/s or SATA III 6 Gb/s channels, which may be used for Enterprise and NAS drives. The RocketRAID 3742A also supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50, each of which provides performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is available. To better monitor the health of your RAID configuration, HighPoint’s RocketRAID WebGUI interface provides a wide range of preemptive monitoring and maintenance features.
It is also possible to expand or convert RAID storage configurations as needed with Online Capacity Expansion (OCE), which allows admins to add new drives to existing arrays. Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) allows admins to convert one RAID level to another in order to tune storage configurations for improved performance or data security.
Please note that bootable RAID 6 arrays are not supported and RAID 6 is not supported on Mac. This controller may be used with the RS6418S and RS6414S JBOD tower enclosures via 8644-8088-1M1 SFF8644 to SFF-8088 cables.
