x8 PCI Express RAID Controller with 4 eSATA Ports

Based on dual chip architecture from Silicon Image and Intel, this x8 PCI Express card is an extremely fast SATA host adapter with four eSATA II 3Gb/s ports. Compatible with Apple Mac Pro, Power Mac G5 Dual-core (Late 2005) or any Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista PC equipped with an x8 PCI-e slot! Supports SATA direct connect of up to 4 external SATA drives or use with SATA Port Multiplier enclosures and connect up to 20 hard drives!

  • 4 External eSATA SATA II 3Gb/s Ports
  • Port Multiplier compatible - supports up to 20 disk drives*
  • PCI Express (PCIe) x8 8-lane host bus interface provides extremely fast throughput
  • Supports Mac OSX and Windows XP RAID
  • Plugs and Plays
  • Backward compatible with SATA I drives
  • Compatible with AJA, BMD and Matrox video capture cards

*Support for 20 drives requires the use of drive enclosures employing SATA port multipliers like the 5-Bay eSATA Port Multiplier Enclosure, eSATA Hardware RAID Enclosure or Sonnet's Fusion 500P Port Multiplier Enclosure. When using an enclosure without a port multiplier, the card will support up to 4 drives.

Superb Performance!

  • 4 Drives in RAID 0
    • In tests using 4 SATA II drives in a RAID 0 direct connect configuration (each drive on a separate port), the card produced sustained reads of 275MB/s with writes of 273MB/s
  • SATA Port Multiplier Enclosures
    • In tests using 5 SATA II hard drives striped (RAID 0) in a port multiplier enclosure, the card produced sustained reads of 234MB/s with writes of 212MB/s!  

Supporting huge storage capacity and high sustained data throughput, this x8 PCI-e (PCI Express) card is ideal for setting up video and photo editing "scratch disks", huge photo/MP3/movie libraries and small to medium business file servers.

Includes:

  • 4 Port x8 PCI-e (PCI Express) Host Adapter 
  • Driver CD 
  • Quick Installation Guide

System Requirements:

  • Desktop computer with available x8 PCI Express (PCI-e) slot
