Introducing the RocketStor 5422 
 
The RocketStor 5422A is the industry’s 
fastest dual-bay USB 3.0 storage dock, 
and is ideal for high-speed 6Gb/s SATA 
SSD’s and multi-terabyte hard drives. 
The innovative dual-5Gb/s bay 
architecture and UAS support deliver an 
unprecedented level of transfer 
bandwidth for a USB-based storage 
solution. 
 
UAS Performance Boost: 
Maximizing the Performance 
Capability of USB 3.0 devices 
 
UAS (USB Attached SCSI) is a computer 
protocol that is used to transfer data to 
and from USB storage devices. UAS 
offers maximized bandwidth utilization, 
and can handle multiple data transfer 
requests simultaneously, unlike the 
slower queue system of BOT (Bulk Only 
Transport), which only provides single-
task commands – each task must 
complete before the next begins. 
 
USB 3.0 connections working in UASP 
mode result in higher transfer speeds 
and lower CPU utilization. 
 
No Compromise High 
Performance 
 
The RocketStor 5422A gives you the 
freedom to use any off-the-shelf SATA 
disk – from today’s fastest SSD’s and 
 
high-capacity multi-terabyte hard drives, 
to cost-effective SATA I and II devices. 
Only RocketStor Storage Docks deliver 
the performance and versatility you 
need to take full advantage of your Ivy 
Bridge based notebook or MacBook’s 
independent USB 3.0 ports. 
Compact and Easy to Use 
 
A single RocketStor Storage Dock 
requires a minimal amount of physical 
workspace, yet is capable of supporting 
the fastest 6Gb/s SSD’s and ultra-high 
capacity 6TB hard drives, 
simultaneously. 
 
The open-topped, vertical device bays 
allow you to use any generation of 2.5” 
and 3.5” SATA SSD & hard drive, of any 
capacity and performance level. The 
true Plug & Play design allows you to 
add or remove any disk on the fly, at any 
time, risk free. 
 
SMART Green Energy Ready 
 
The RocketStor 5422A supports 
common Power Management features 
provided by Windows and OS X 
operating systems, such as Sleep Mode. 
 
The RocketStor 5422A and hosted drive 
will enter a low-power state when the 
operating system is in sleep mode, in 
order to conserve energy and maintain 
optimal efficiency.
