5-Bay eSATA Port Multiplier Enclosure

5-Bay eSATA Port Multiplier Enclosure

 
This 5-bay eSATA Port Multiplier drive enclosure combines support for the fastest SATA drives with hot-swap versatility and LCD readouts for monitoring drive temperatures!  Plus, it's unique design with whisper quiet cooling fans in each drive tray provides super quiet superior cooling!

The enclosure design includes a high performance eSATA II port multiplier (Silicon Image SiI 3726) and connects to a eSATA host controller card through a single port*.  Connect up to 5 drives to your computer with just a single eSATA cable!  Auto-negotiation for 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s drives, so installation is as simple as securing the drives to the trays. 

Start out with a single drive for simple data storage, or fill the enclosure with five drives to create up to a huge 10 Terabyte striped RAID array.  Combine two or more enclosures for uncompressed 10-bit HD video capture and editing!  Connect up to four enclosures to a eSATA Port Multiplier compatible host controller like the Hi Performance x8 PCI Express eSATA Card, eSATA II 4 Port PCI-X Card, Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P or Sonnet Tempo SATA X4P host controller to create the ultimate storage solution—using 2TB drives, you'll have 40TB of data storage!
