We've already seen HighPoint's peculiar USB 3.0 RocketU cards with performance claims of 20Gbps and now the company has followed up with the RocketStor that might actually be able to take advantage of some of that claimed performance. The RocketStor is a simple USB 3.0 hard drive dock, but with a pair of USB 3.0 connectors at the rear.
We've already written about HighPoint's peculiar RocketU 1144A USB 3.0 card and now the company has gone and made things even more confusing with the introduction of the RocketU 1144AR. The R on the end of the model name stands for RAID and no, we have no idea why you'd need a four port USB 3.0 controller with RAID support. Oh and for those of you that own a Mac or maybe a Hackingtosh, HighPoint has also launched a couple of OS X compatible cards.
If you're one of those people who's always on the lookout for something strange or peculiar to fit in your computer, then HighPoint might just have what you're after, well, at least as long as a rather unusual USB 3.0 card will satisfy your needs. The card in question is the RocketU 1144A and it's as far as we're aware the first and only PCI Express x4 USB 3.0 card out there.
