HighPoint 3720C Overview

Designed to maximize the uptime and accessibility of RAID storage, the RocketRAID 3720C PCIe Host Bus Adapter from HighPoint fits into a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot on your host Windows, Mac, Linux, or FreeBSD system using an included low-profile bracket. It is equipped with two internal SFF-8643 mini-SAS ports that support up to eight SAS-3 12 Gb/s or SATA III 6 Gb/s channels, which may be used for Enterprise and NAS drives. The RocketRAID 3720C also supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50, each of which provides performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is available.

It is also possible to expand or convert RAID storage configurations as needed with Online Capacity Expansion (OCE), which allows admins to add new drives to existing arrays. Online RAID Level Migration (ORLM) allows admins to convert one RAID level to another in order to tune storage configurations for improved performance or data security.

Please note that bootable RAID 6 arrays are not supported and RAID 6 is not supported on Mac. This controller may be used with the RS6418S and RS6414S JBOD tower enclosures via 8644-8088-1M1 SFF8644 to SFF-8088 cables.

I had an older LSI 9271-8i used for a 21TB RAID6 but only see between 20-40Mbps transfer rates. With this HighPoint RocketRAID I am now maxing out my 2Gbps network.

I was in need of adding a SAS drives to the Mac Pro and this is the only reasonable priced option that works out of the box with macOS.
