SATA SAS RAID controller for eight internal drives

The HighPoint RocketRAID 2720A connects up to eight internal SATA or SAS drives through two SFF-8087 mini-SAS ports. It installs in a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 slot and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and JBOD modes. The card is designed for workstation and small-business server storage arrays.

Low-profile bracket and quick guide included

A low-profile bracket is supplied so the controller fits slim chassis without modification. The quick installation guide covers hardware fitting and initial driver setup for Windows, Linux and macOS. No additional cables or software media are bundled in the package.

Compact board with two native SATA 6.0Gb/s

The board measures 0.06 by 3.79 by 2.56 inches and carries two native SATA 6.0Gb/s connectors alongside the mini-SAS ports. This layout allows direct attachment of up to two drives without breakout cables while the mini-SAS ports handle the remaining six. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface maintains full bandwidth for all eight ports.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8087 cables or the low-profile bracket need replacing later?

The card ships with a low-profile bracket and uses standard SFF-8087 mini-SAS cables; only the cables would need replacement if damaged or if longer lengths are required.

Does the PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface limit throughput when all eight drives run sustained transfers?

The PCIe 2.0 x8 host link provides the primary bandwidth ceiling, while each of the eight internal ports supports up to 6Gb/s SATA or SAS speeds.

How much heat and power does the controller add when running all eight ports continuously?

The low-profile RocketRAID 2720A draws power from the PCIe slot and operates without a dedicated fan; typical heat output is low for a host-based RAID HBA.
