Out of the Box eSATA Ready for Snow Leopard

Before the release of Snow Leopard, USB and Firewire were the only Mac friendly connectivity interfaces for external storage. However, HighPoint breaks through this barrier by incorporating the RocketRAID SATA and SAS drivers into the Snow Leopard installation DVD thus introducing Out of the Box eSATA Ready Support for Snow Leopard.

RAID Protection and Performance

There is an increasing need to secure data as drive capacities increase. All HighPoint RocketRAID SATA and SAS RAID controllers are configurable to protect storage against drive failures while enhancing performance with HighPoint's robust redundant RAID technology.

RocketRAID Snow Leopard Ready Controllers

In 2007, HighPoint released a dedicated website for Macintosh users called HPTMAC.com. HPTMAC.com introduced the Macintosh platform search engine that recommended a RocketRAID SATA or SAS Series RAID controller for their Apple Macintosh platform. The HPTMAC site was updated to indentify the RocketRAID Snow Leopard Ready Controllers, it includes downloads for Snow Leopard software, a Snow Leopard upgrade guide and a new Snow Leopard forum to let user submit Q and A.
