Low-profile SATA RAID card

The HighPoint RocketRAID 640L is a low-profile PCI-Express 2.0 x4 controller that adds four internal SATA 6.0Gb/s ports. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD modes with hot-swap and hot-plug capability. A web-based management interface handles array configuration. Driver support covers Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista and Linux distributions.

Desktop and workstation storage upgrades

This card suits builders adding up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs to a desktop PC or workstation that has a free x4 slot. It also fits servers needing a low-profile RAID HBA for 3TB and larger drives. It is not for systems that lack a PCI-Express 2.0 x4 slot or need more than four internal SATA connections. Buyers requiring driver support for operating systems beyond those listed should verify compatibility first.

Four-port 6Gb/s SATA connectivity

The single specification that decides fit is the four internal SATA 6.0Gb/s connectors running on a PCI-Express 2.0 x4 host interface. This limits the card to four drives at up to 6Gb/s each and requires a compatible motherboard slot. The low-profile bracket measures 3.12 by 2.56 inches. No other interface or port count is provided.
