We received the more powerful RocketRAID 3510 (RR3510). The RR3510 features an 800MHz Intel IOP341 RAID I/O Processor, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD. The RR3510 also doubles the amount of onboard DDR2 ECC RAM that the RR3120 had, with 256MB.

The minimum number of drives for RAID level 5 is three drives, and four drives are required for RAID level 6. That said, the RR3510 has a single mini-SAS connector that supports four SATA 3Gbps channels. With the additional SATA channels, the RR3510 utilizes a PCI-Express x8 connection for additional bandwidth. I'll be testing the RocketRAID 3510 using CentOS-5 with Linux kernel 2.6.25, in which HighPoint's GPL-licensed driver now resides.
