Description
Connect additional Thunderbolt 3 peripherals and NVMe M.2 RAID storage to your compatible Windows or Mac system using the RocketStor 6661A-NVMe Thunderbolt 3 to NVMe RAID Adapter from HighPoint. This adapter is equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, which provide bi-directional speeds of 40 Gb/s. While one port is used to interface with your host system, the other can be used to daisy-chain up to six devices together, including dual 4K displays or a single 5K display, thanks to support for DisplayPort 1.2. Thunderbolt 3 also supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C and provides 15W of power to compatible devices for charging.
In addition to the Thunderbolt 3 ports, the RocketStor 6661A-NVMe has four NVMe M.2 ports, each of which supports one SSD. Overall, up to 8TB of storage is supported, or 2TB per port, along with data transfer speeds of 2800 MB/s and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations. Each RAID configuration provides speed, redundancy, or a combination of both, and for those who do not need the benefits of a RAID, single drive configurations are also available.
HighPoint’s RocketStor 6661A-NVMe Thunderbolt 3 to NVMe RAID Adapter is compatible with Thunderbolt 2 devices, as well as USB 3.1 Gen 2 (USB 3.1). Please be aware that any daisy-chain connections will terminate if a peripheral or device is connected via USB Type-C. Included is a Thunderbolt 3 cable, a 60W / 100-240 VAC external power supply, and a power cord. Protection is provided by a limited 1-year parts & labor warranty.

I noticed that this product is just the combination of an SSD7101A-1 RAID card and the RocketStor 6661A expansion dock, in a single package. I was able to create my own unit, as I already own the SSD7101A-1 (love it), and had recently purchased the RS6661A for a separate video project. It’s hard to tell from most of the pictures provided by the maker, but this thing is genuinely small, and is actually portable rather than “mostly portable”, as in, having to pack everything in a separate box. You only need the small power adapter, TB3 cable and the “chassis” as HighPoint calls it (a few pounds at most and 2x10x6 inches). This combo is also really fast for a Thunderbolt 3 drive. When RAIDing 4 NVMe SSDs together I was able to reach over 2800 MB/s on a Windows system with a Thunderbolt 3 connection (4x Samsung 970 EVO). That is higher than the prebuilt TB3 to NVMe drives you can get at the moment, and a lot less expensive. I did not have any issues configuring it for use with a Mac System either. You can setup the drive as ExFat and share it with both platforms. It’s the fastest portable storage I’ve have ever owned. I am going to buy another SSD7101-A for my workstation (PC), as I want to make this a permanent storage option. I initially wanted to try this configuration out so just to see how fast it could actually perform on a TB3 port. 2800 vs 13000 may seem slow (vs. using it the SSD7101A-1 with a workstation PC), but it’s extremely fast for anything connected via Thunderbolt. It is also the only option out there if you need more than 1 or 2 NVMe SSD’s. Nothing else can currently support 4 SSD’s. It’s based on the SSD7101A-1 so you can mix and match NVMe SSD’s. You do not have to commit to one brand/model and are free to upgrade performance/capacity in the future. The rate at which NVMe drives are evolving, you will quickly outgrow any prebuilt solution currently on the market, so something like this product is a must for serious users/pros.

This is not a good unit. Its poorly constructed – one thumbscrew has a sheared thread, and the NVME controller is wonky so doesnt sit straight in its port. Somehow the unit works but the noise from the fans makes it completely unworkable in my studio. The description says ultra quiet fans! It also says ultra slim. This is not an ultra slim unit in any way, shape or form. Returning immediately.
