HighPoint RocketStor 5422 Dual Dedicated USB 3.1 Gen 1 5 Gb/s UAS-Enabled Storage Dock

The RocketStor 5422 Dual Dedicated USB 3.0 5 Gb/s UAS-Enabled Storage Dock from High-Point Technologies is designed for high-speed 6 Gb/s SATA SSD's and 4TB hard drives. The dual 5 Gb/s bay architecture and UAS support delivers a high level of transfer bandwidth for a USB-based storage solution. Its UAS feature enables USB 3.0 devices to store and process multiple commands in parallel, significantly reducing waiting time and streamlining data transfers. The speed and efficiency advantages provided by UAS technology are designed for multi-tasking and high-performance applications. It is fully compatible with Mac and PC desktops and portable computing platforms.

UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer protocol that is used to transfer data to and from USB storage devices such as hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs), and thumb/flash drives. The UAS is dependent on USB protocol, and utilizes the standard SCSI command set. It offers maximized bandwidth utilization, and can handle multiple data transfer requests simultaneously, unlike the slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only Transport), which only provides single-task commands. As a result, USB 3.0 connections working in UASP mode result in higher transfer speeds and lower CPU utilization. UAS clears data queues faster, which results in smoother operating PCs.
