The HighPoint RocketRAID 2840C is the industry’s price-competitive 16-channel SAS/SATA RAID controller designed to deliver scalable storage performance for servers and workstations. Built to handle dense storage configurations, this PCIe 3.0 host adapter brings robust hardware RAID capabilities, streamlined management, and compatibility with a wide range of operating environments. If you’re expanding your storage fleet or upgrading a data-intensive workstation, the RocketRAID 2840C offers an attractive balance of capacity, speed, and reliability without breaking the budget.

  • Unlock maximum drive density with 16 SAS/SATA channels: The 2840C is engineered to connect up to sixteen drives through a single PCIe card, enabling large arrays, better data protection, and improved throughput for workloads like media editing, virtualization, backups, and high-capacity databases.
  • Generation 3.0 PCIe performance: Taking advantage of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, this controller delivers strong read/write speeds and low latency, helping you reduce bottlenecks in data-intensive environments. It’s designed to optimize sequential transfers and random I/O to keep workloads responsive even as you scale.
  • Hardware RAID with data protection: The RocketRAID 2840C provides dedicated hardware processing for RAID operations, offloading the workload from the host CPU. This means improved data protection, faster rebuild times, and consistent performance under sustained load across multiple drives.
  • Cost-conscious enterprise-grade storage: The 2840C targets businesses and enthusiasts who need professional-grade RAID capabilities without the premium price tag. It blends enterprise reliability with a price point that makes high-density storage accessible for medium-sized data centers, workgroups, and growing server rooms.
  • Broad compatibility and straightforward management: Designed to work with a variety of operating systems and popular storage configurations, the 2840C includes intuitive management options that simplify RAID creation, monitoring, and maintenance—so you can deploy faster and stay in control of your storage environment.

How to install HighPoint RocketRAID 2840C SAS Controller

Installing the RocketRAID 2840C is a straightforward process that fits into standard server or workstation upgrade workflows. Begin by powering down the system and disconnecting all power sources. Open the chassis and locate an available PCIe slot that matches the card’s interface. Insert the 2840C firmly into the slot, ensuring the connector is securely seated. If your system hosts a backplane or a dense drive bay configuration, you may need to mount the card in a way that preserves airflow and cable organization.

Connect the SAS/SATA drives to the controller using appropriate cables and, if applicable, connect to a SAS backplane or disk shelf. Ensure all drives are properly cabled and that the backplane supports your intended drive count and configuration. Power up the system and enter the BIOS or UEFI settings to verify that the RocketRAID 2840C is recognized by the motherboard. In some environments, you may need to enable the PCIe slot or set the card as a primary boot or storage controller depending on your setup.

Install the required drivers and management utility provided by HighPoint. The drivers enable the operating system to recognize the controller and access its storage capabilities. Launch the management software to configure your first RAID array. Create your preferred RAID level, initialize the array, and perform a consistency check if needed. Once the RAID is established, you can format the logical drive within your operating system and begin using the storage pool. For ongoing reliability, monitor the health of each drive and the array through the management interface, and schedule regular status checks and firmware updates as recommended by HighPoint.

Best practices for installation include documenting your drive map, labeling cables for quick maintenance, and testing the configuration with a small data set before migrating critical information. If you plan hot-swapping or expanding the array later, verify that your chassis and backplane support the desired operations and that the management software is configured to handle expansion gracefully. With proper setup, the RocketRAID 2840C becomes a dependable backbone for dense storage needs, offering strong performance with straightforward administration.

Great Story about Native Americans before Europeans
Format: Paperback
I read this book with my kids (11,8) as part of our unit on Native Americans before colonization. They both really enjoyed it. It helped to humanize history for them and show them that although the cultural practices were different, the characters experienced some of the same feelings, relationship challenges, and personal struggles and triumphs that we experience today.

Wonderful book about pre-European North America
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. There's a massive shortage of children's books written by Natives, especially ones that give a picture of pre-European America, and if you've noticed that, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR to fill that hole in your home school curriculum/child's library. It's a "boy book," but my seven year old girl got through it without any complaints except that she wanted me to read ahead so I could tell her if anything scary happened. I would say that the plot is a little slow, the main story pauses a lot for background information or traditional stories. But that's not really a complaint, I don't think it's even worth taking off one star. Almost anything by Joseph Bruchac is worth your money, and this one is no exception.
