Fast and Secure: A Comparison of Eight RAID Controllers

Highpoint Rocket Raid 133

The product name says it all: the Rocket Raid 133 from Highpoint is fitted with a fast Ultra-DMA/ 133 chip. The controller has two channels for connecting up to four hard disks. The card was one of the fastest RAID-0 and RAID-1 controllers in the test. There were no weaknesses in any of the benchmark disciplines.

Features and service were judged to be only adequate. The controller has a flash-bios, but no external interface.

If a user should experience problems with the Highpoint Rocket Raid 133, he or she can turn either to the English language website, or to an American telephone hotline. The two-year warranty is the shortest of any of the products in the group.
