PRESS RELEASE

August 2014, Milpitas, CA. HighPoint Technologies RocketStor SATA Adapters deliver twice the performance and four-times the storage capability compared to other eSATA Hubs in today's marketplace.

World's First ThunderboltTM 2 8-Drive eSATA Hubs 

The RocketStor 6328L and 6324L are the simplest and fastest way to upgrade existing SATA storage for use with ThunderboltTM 2 platforms, and deliver significant performance and capacity advantages over ThunderboltTM hubs, which offer only half the speed and one-fourth of the storage capability. These affordable, high-performance storage adapters provide 20Gb/s of uncompromised transfer bandwidth and are capable of supporting up to eight SATA hard drives or SSD's via eSATA and Mini-SAS connectivity.

Dedicated Performance Architecture: Unlike conventional PCIe Expansion Chassis and first generation ThunderboltTM hubs, the ThunderboltTM 2 bandwidth provided by RocketStor 6328L/6324L eSATA hubs is dedicated to storage performance. Storage devices hosted by RocketStor adapters do not have to share resources with other I/O devices, and can operate at peak performance.

Palm-Sized, Compact Storage Solution: Each lightweight, all-aluminum chassis measures only 7" in size, weights little more than 2 pounds, and can easily rest in the palm of your open hand! The small-footprint design is ideal for any workstation environment; whether in the field, studio or home, and is the perfect storage companion for Apple's latest ThunderboltTM 2 computing platforms.

Versatile Storage Configurations: RocktStor 632xL eSATA hubs are capable of supporting any industry standard SATA hard drive and SSD via eSATA and Mini-SAS connectivity.

Unbeatable Value: RocketStor 632xL eSATA hubs are the industry's most cost effective ThunderboltTM 2 powered 4 and 8 drive storage solutions. The 4-Channel RocketStor 6324L is priced to move with an MSRP is $299, and the 8-channel RocketStor 6328L offers even more value with an MSRP of only $399! Conventional Thunderbolt hubs may save you a few dollars, but only support up to two drives and cut performance half!

RocketStor 6328L - Dual ThunderboltTM 2 Ports / Dual external Mini-SAS Ports (SFF-8088) - High-speed eSATA Hub for up to 8 eSATA devices. North American MSRP: USD $399.

RocketStor 6324L - Dual ThunderboltTM 2 Ports / Single external Mini-SAS Port (SFF-8088) - High-speed eSATA Hub for up to 4 eSATA devices. North American MSRP: USD $299.
