'A masterpiece of engineering': Highpoint storage AIC is expensive but at 60GBps sequential throughput, it will quench almost anyone's thirst for speed

• HighPoint Rocket 7604A RAID card is half the size of the previous iteration
• Delivers nearly 60GBps using four Gen5 SSDs with no power cable
• First review shows it offers strong performance across both Intel and AMD platforms

The HighPoint Rocket 7604A is a PCIe Gen5 RAID card which targets professionals needing extreme sequential throughput in compact workstations.

While it builds on the legacy of the larger Rocket 1608A model, it manages to shrink the form factor by nearly half while maintaining similar performance.

The 7604A fits into a single-slot, half-length configuration and is powered entirely by the PCIe bus, with no external power required.
