This week HighPoint has introduced new expansion cards designed for professional applications requiring “robust connectivity solutions capable of accommodating a wide range of high-speed data acquisition applications“.
The new RocketU 1400 series HBAs USB expansion cards are equipped with per-port performance PCB architecture. Ensuring each device port is paired with a dedicated USB 3.2 Gen2 20G USB controller IC. Unlike previous product generations, which were only available with up to four device channels, RocketU 1400 controllers are available with up to eight independent USB Type-C ports, and can provide up to 16,000 MB/s of transfer bandwidth.
