The Rocket 600 series brings a new level of cost effective pricing for the next generation of SATA 6Gb/s performance for smaller storage platforms with single or dual drives. The 2nd generation PCI-Express 2.0 technology offer 500MB/s of throughput that will unleash the maximum performance for SSD drives.
The Rocket 600 series are fully industry standard AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) compliant and deliver Out-of-Box Ready driver less experience for majority of operating systems. The Rocket 600 series are backward compatible to PCI-Express 1.0 technology and (SATA 3Gb/s & 1.5Gb/s) devices. They use the same cable and connectors as previous SATA generations to ease integration.
Next Generation of eSATA and SATA Connectivity
The Rocket 620 is the industry’s first PCI-Express 2.0 host adapter delivering the next generation of SATA connectivity up to 500MB/s on a single PCI-Express x1 lane.
Out-of-the-Box Ready Installation
The Rocket 620 is the low-cost SATA 6Gb/s Non-RAID host adapters that are industry standard AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) compliant. They deliver Out-of-the-Box Ready and support operating systems such such as (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux and FreeBSD.
SATA Compatibility
The Rocket 620 enables the use of the industry’s newest and fastest hard drives at 6Gb/s while providing backward compatibility to legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cable and connectors as previous SATA generations to ease integration.
PCI-Express 2.0 (Double the Bandwidth)
PCI Express 2.0 double the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus for faster data throughput. It will enhance system performance for every type of computer user. Each PCI-Express 2.0 lane provides up to 500MB/s of throughput. It also backward compatible with previous generation of PCI-Express 1.0 technology.
