HighPoint RocketStor 6414TS Drive Enclosure - Mini-SAS Host Interface Tower

The HighPoint RocketStor 6414TS Drive Enclosure is a premium four-bay storage tower designed for demanding data workflows, from creative media production to enterprise backups. Built around a PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID controller and a dependable Mini-SAS host interface, this enclosure delivers fast, scalable storage for SAS/SATA 6Gb/s SSDs and HDDs. With hot-swappable drive bays, robust RAID options, and a maximum capacity of 32TB, it provides a flexible, future-proof solution for expanding your storage footprint while preserving data protection and uptime. Whether you’re building a compact editing suite, a compact home server, or a small business storage hub, the RocketStor 6414TS is engineered to simplify expansion, streamline management, and optimize performance across demanding workloads.

  • Four hot-swappable SAS/SATA drive bays support up to 8TB per drive, delivering a total capacity of up to 32TB. This enables you to curate a mix of high-speed SSDs for performance and high-capacity HDDs for cost-effective bulk storage, making it ideal for large media libraries, backups, archives, and virtualization work.
  • Supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD, allowing you to tailor performance, redundancy, and capacity to your workload. RAID 0 provides maximum speed for streaming or rendering tasks, RAID 1/5/10 offers data protection against drive failure, and JBOD enables flexible presentation of disks to the host with independent usage.
  • Equipped with a PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID controller card and a fast Mini-SAS host interface, delivering high-bandwidth data paths to accelerate read/write operations. This setup reduces host CPU load and helps sustain steady throughput during large transfers, backups, and multi-drive operations.
  • Designed for easy storage capacity expansion and RAID protection changes over time, so you can adapt to evolving data requirements without buying new hardware. Swap, upgrade, or reconfigure drives and RAID levels to optimize cost, performance, and protection as your data grows.
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with SAS/SATA 6Gb/s devices ensures broad support for a wide range of drives from leading brands. The enclosure accepts both enterprise-grade and consumer-grade drives that conform to SAS/SATA 6Gb/s specs, enabling flexible upgrades and long-term compatibility with your existing fleet.
