HighPoint is Your One-Stop ThunderboltTM Storage & Connectivity Solutions Provider!
HighPoint ThunderboltTM RAID adapters deliver the industry's most versatile and flexible Hardware RAID storage solutions, and enable customers to integrate existing internal drive configurations, and attach external storage devices, directly into their new ThunderboltTM host platforms.
Flexible RAID Storage and Connectivity Solutions for Thunderbolt 2 Mac Pro Platforms
2013 Mac Pro workstations and Mac OS X Mavericks were designed to accommodate today's most I/O intensive media applications, and provide industry professionals with a compact, highly efficient, no-nonsense work environment. However, 2013 Mac Pros no longer support internal PCIe host adapters, nor provide multiple drive bays for additional storage. Unlike previous Mac Pro systems, customers must use the integrated ThunderboltTM 2 ports to host additional storage devices.
HighPoint's ThunderboltTM RAID Adapters were designed to take full advantage of ThunderboltTM 2 connectivity provided by Mac Pro workstations. Customers can easily incorporate their current internal drives and Apple RAID configurations directly into their new ThunderboltTM 2 platform. The 20Gb/s transfer bandwidth combined with the rock-solid stability of integrated hardware RAID are an invaluable asset for today's media professionals.

Built In Support for Apple RAID Configurations
Designed to simplify and streamline storage integration for ThunderboltTM 2 platforms, the RocketStor 6328 is fully backwards compatible with all previous and current HighPoint RAID controllers, and includes built-support for Apple RAID configurations created with the OS X Disk Utility.
