HighPoint -- First in the World to Unleash SATA RAID Controllers for Mac OS X Leopard

HighPoint announced the RocketRAID series of controllers is the first SATA RAID solution in the world to announce support for Leopard. The RocketRAID controllers offer the versatile connectivity, various bus types and multiple port count for all Apple systems. The below table illustrates the supported Apple platforms.

Two propriety technologies in the RocketRAID series of SATA RAID controllers offer the most advanced data protection and performance features for Apple platforms.

TerabyteStream(TM)is an intelligent cache algorithm technology that provides the performance needed for bandwidth intensive applications like SD/HD video editing and media streaming.

TerabyteGuard(TM) ensures data is always protected and available with hard disk bad sector repair / remapping. Disk Scrubbing removes bad sectors from hard disk preventing storage failures.

The RocketRAID 3000 series was first to offer a SATA RAID 6 controller to support the Mac. All RocketRAID series support RAID levels (0, 1,5,10 and 50) and it is the first to support SMART monitoring for predicting possible drive failures before disasters occur. The HighPoint web GUI lets users manage, monitor and maintain with an easy to use interface.

HighPoint has established a close relation with storage partners in the external storage industry.

"We are proud to be the industry's first SATA RAID solution provider to announce support for Leopard," said Michael Whang, President and CEO of HighPoint Technologies.
