Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, it includes a comprehensive management suite with BIOS, CLI, and web-based interfaces. Designed for scalable, flexible storage solutions, it enables online capacity expansion and RAID level migration to future-proof your data infrastructure. ## Description RocketRAID 2840C (RR2840C) RAID controllers deliver professional grade RAID storage & management features at a fraction of the cost of conventional host RAID solutions. Each adapter is powered by our industry proven RAID technology, superior Gen 3.0 PCIe transfer bandwidth, and are capable of supporting up to 16 6Gb/s Enterprise or NAS class SAS/SATA hard disk drives (spindle drives), in one or more RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD configurations. Comprehensive RAID & Storage Management Suite: When it comes to maintaining critical storage configurations, each customer has specific needs and preferences. RocketRAID 2840C controllers provide 3 management interfaces: BIOS level menus, a command line interface, and a Web-based GUI. The Web-based Management Interface (WebGUI) is a simple, intuitive web-based management tool and is ideal for customers who are new to RAID technology. The CLI (command line interface) is a powerful, text-only management interface designed for advanced users and professional administrators. The CLI and WebGUI interfaces provides a wide range of preemptive monitoring and maintenance features that enable administrators to easily check the status of each individual drive and schedule verification sessions to ensure the health of hosted RAID configurations. Seamlessly Upgrade RAID Storage - Customers are free to expand or convert RAID storage configurations as needed to keep on top of the evolving demands of the storage application, without sacrificing existing data. Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) allows administrators to add new drives to existing arrays in order to expand available capacity. Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) allows administrators to convert one RAID level to another in order to tune storage configurations for maximum performance or data security. Arrays created with RocketRAID 2840C adapters are future-proof; Online RAID Roaming allows customers to move existing RAID arrays to other RR2840C RAID controllers, in addition to all future HighPoint RAID products. Review: Great value RAID card. Review: そこそこの性能、品質はいまいち？ - 最初のものは動作が安定しなかったので交換しました。特定のPHYでエラーが多発しました。 V1.0のものは非インテルマシンでも正常でしたが、今回買ったV2.1は非インテルマシンでHGSTのドライブを正常に使えません。BIOSが関係しているように思えます。V2.1では背面のNVRAMや電源周りのICが無くなっています。 スペック的にPCIe gen2 なので高速SSDx8では性能を発揮できません。2枚使って分散させるのも手でしょう。 ディスクフェイル時のブザーの停止方法が不明でした。 純正のソフトウェアRAIDの機能は評価していません。LinuxのMD RAIDで評価しました。 あと、ケーブルが付いてくる物の箱のパッケージが表示されていますが、この製品にはケーブルが付いてきません。ケーブルが付いてくるのはRocketRAID 2722LFなのでしょうか？ケーブル付きなら安くていいのですが。。。 ## Features - PCIe 3.0 x8 host Interface - 16x 6Gb/s SAS/SATA ports (4x SFF-8643 ports) - Supports up to 16 NAS/Enterprise class 6Gb/s SAS/SATA HDD (spindle hard disk drives) - Windows, macOS & Linux - RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 1/0, 5/0, JBOD & Singe Disk - Comprehensive & Universal Management Suite macOS, Linux & Windows ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08TM38F25 | | Brand | HighPoint | | Brand Name | HighPoint | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 211 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express 3.0, PCI Express x8, PCIE x 8 | | Item Type Name | HighPoint RocketRAID 2840C PCIe 3.0 x8 16-Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID Controller | | Manufacturer | HighPoint Technologies, Inc. | | Model Number | RR2840C | | Operating System | Linux,Windows | | Style | 4x Int. mini-SAS HD Ports – up to 16 HDD | | Style Name | 4x Int. mini-SAS HD Ports – up to 16 HDD | | UPC | 643653284023 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HighPoint - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express 3.0, PCI Express x8, PCIE x 8 - **Style:** 4x Int. mini-SAS HD Ports – up to 16 HDD - **UPC:** 643653284023 ## Images ![Highpoint Technologies RocketRAID 2840C PCIe 3.0 x8 16-Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kh+BnRASL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value RAID card. *by D***N on 10 June 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐ そこそこの性能、品質はいまいち？ *by S***X on 19 July 2013* 最初のものは動作が安定しなかったので交換しました。特定のPHYでエラーが多発しました。 V1.0のものは非インテルマシンでも正常でしたが、今回買ったV2.1は非インテルマシンでHGSTのドライブを正常に使えません。BIOSが関係しているように思えます。V2.1では背面のNVRAMや電源周りのICが無くなっています。 スペック的にPCIe gen2 なので高速SSDx8では性能を発揮できません。2枚使って分散させるのも手でしょう。 ディスクフェイル時のブザーの停止方法が不明でした。 純正のソフトウェアRAIDの機能は評価していません。LinuxのMD RAIDで評価しました。 あと、ケーブルが付いてくる物の箱のパッケージが表示されていますが、この製品にはケーブルが付いてきません。ケーブルが付いてくるのはRocketRAID 2722LFなのでしょうか？ケーブル付きなら安くていいのですが。。。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RAID5で高速安定 *by 海***き on 22 December 2014* 元々RocketRaid2300で4台のHDDにてRAID5で運用していたのですが、2300はPCIeが1レーン、HDDも3Gps対応と、HDDのパフォーマンスを生かせないのと、容量に不足が出てきそうだったのでこちらにリプレイスしました。 環境：Mother:Asrock H61M-ITX CPU: Intel Core i3-2120T 2.60GHz定格 Memory:4GB System SSD:Intel 520 60GB DATA HDD :Seagate ST3000DM001 ３TB×4 RAID5にて運用。使用可能容量９TB OS：WindowsHomeServer2011 にて、特にトラブルなく運用できています。 RocketRaidはハードとソフトのハイブリッドRAIDですが、特に転送速度も問題なく（下記データ参照） HDD本来の転送速度の3倍近く出ています。 今回は2300に繋げていたHDDをそっくりつなぎかえたので、そのまま認識してくれました。 前回の2300は時々SATAケーブルの認識不良が起きましたが、今回は評価の高いファンアウトケーブルを同時購入して接続したためか、使用後全くエラーが出ていません。 11月頭に購入したので、BIOSは最新の1.5でした。スリープが使えないのが難点ですが、他の方のレビューでサスペンドは使えるようなので、試してみます。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1 x64 (C) 2007-2010 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s [SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s] Sequential Read : 434.445 MB/s Sequential Write : 432.581 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 53.853 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 37.241 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.819 MB/s [ 200.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.394 MB/s [ 96.1 IOPS] Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 5.689 MB/s [ 1388.9 IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.534 MB/s [ 130.3 IOPS] Test : 500 MB [F: 74.8% (6270.4/8383.2 GB)] (x2) Date : 2014/12/23 5:36:52 OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 [6.1 Build 7601] (x64) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/354993216-highpoint-technologies-rocketraid-2840c-pcie-3-0-x8-16-port](https://www.desertcart.be/products/354993216-highpoint-technologies-rocketraid-2840c-pcie-3-0-x8-16-port) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
