Frequently Asked Questions - RocketRAID 2522 Highpoint
What RAID levels does the RocketRAID 2522 support?
The RocketRAID 2522 supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and JBOD, providing flexibility for performance, redundancy, or combining drives.
Can I use drives of different capacities with this controller?
Yes, in RAID 1 or RAID 10 the array uses the capacity of the smallest drive. Mixing sizes is possible but not optimal for large arrays. For RAID 0 all drives are used to their full capacity.
Does it support SSDs?
Yes, the controller supports SATA-based SSDs as well as HDDs, taking advantage of the 6Gb/s interface speed for fast read/write performance.
What operating systems are compatible?
The RocketRAID 2522 offers drivers for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Always check the HighPoint website for the latest driver versions and compatibility notes.
How do I install the driver?
Insert the driver CD after connecting the card, or download the latest driver from the HighPoint support site. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions; a reboot may be required.
Can I boot my system from a RAID array?
Yes, the controller supports bootable RAID arrays. You may need to configure the array in the controller's BIOS utility before installing the OS on it.
How do I monitor the RAID status?
Use the Web-based RAID management software included with the controller. It provides real-time disk and array status, alerts, and event logs.
Does the controller support hot-swap?
Yes, the RocketRAID 2522 supports hot-swapping on its external eSATA ports and on internal ports when the motherboard/backplane supports it. Safely disconnect drives before removal.
What is the maximum number of drives supported?
The controller has 4 ports total (2 internal + 2 external) and supports up to 4 drives directly attached.
What should I do if a drive in a mirrored array fails?
Replace the failed drive with a new one of at least the same size. The controller will automatically start a rebuild and restore redundancy once the new drive is detected.
