HighPoint Technologies: Validation of PCIe Gen5 NVMe Storage Expansion Adapters with ScaleFlux CSD5310 Series Enterprise SSDs

HighPoint Technologies, Inc., manufacturer of high-performance, high-density NVMe switch and RAID add-in card (AIC) and adapter storage solutions for off-the-shelf x86 platforms (AMD and Intel), and ScaleFlux, Inc., provider in NVMe Enterprise Storage and CXL Memory Solutions, have announced that Rocket series PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage expansion adapters has been fully validated for use with ScaleFlux’s CSD5310 Series enterprise NVMe SSDs.This qualification confirms full interoperability between HighPoint’s Rocket 1600 NVMe switch adapters and Rocket 7600 Pro and RAID Series MCIO host adapters with ScaleFlux’s PCIe Gen5, enterprise-class U.2 NVMe drives. Together, the platforms deliver performance, density, and reliability for next-gen data-intensive workloads.

The validated solution is suited for HPC, AI, ML, and professional media workflows, particularly in edge computing environments that require scalable, high-density storage for mission-critical applications.

“HighPoint’s PCIe Gen5 NVMe expansion architecture was designed to unlock the full potential of next-generation enterprise SSDs,” said May Hwang, marketing director, HighPoint Technologies. “Our collaboration with ScaleFlux ensures customers can deploy CSD5310 Series drives with complete confidence, achieving maximum throughput, reliability, and scalability for the most demanding workloads.”
