HighPoint is the first company in the industry to launch a commercial PCIe Gen5 solution after companies such as OWC and Apex Storage previously introduced a variety of PCIe Gen4 products.
HighPoint’s new PCIe Gen5 SSD PCIe Expansion Cards utilize the new Rocket PCIe Gen5 NVMe Switch and M.2 RAID AIC adapters to accommodate up to 32 SSDs and support up to 960TB Gen5 SSDs in a single PCIe slot.
The cards are divided into the Rocket 7600 and Rocket 1600 series, with the former targeting Linux/Windows-based edge servers and high-performance PC systems, and the latter targeting the enterprise market.
Both series utilize Broadcom’s PEX89048 PCIe Switch IC, which is based on the PCIe Gen5 protocol and can take full advantage of Gen5’s 16 lanes.
Broadcom’s 48-channel PEX89048 Switch IC provides 16 dedicated PCIe Gen5 lanes with up to 64TB/sec of bandwidth and supports up to 32 NVMe M.2 SSDs per slot, a screenshot of which is attached below:
