Sonnet's Fusion D500P 5-bay eSATA drive enclosure combines support for the fastest SATA drives with hot-swap versatility in a package built for performance. Fusion
D500P is compact, but its small footprint will make a big impression—with its powerful built-in universal power supply, it is a great solution for anyone looking to store large amounts of data in a little package.
The Sonnet Fusion D500P employs a high performance SATA II port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives and connects to a SATA 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 guarantees no switches, jumpers, or control panels need to be set, so installation is as simple as securing the drives to the trays.
The five hot-swap drive trays offer great freedom for building your own storage solution—you don't get locked into a specific configuration. Start out with a single drive for simple data storage and then add additional ones as the need arises. Or, fill the enclosure with five drives up to
1TB each to create a huge 5 Terabyte striped RAID array—combine two or more for uncompressed 10-bit HD video capture and editing—Fusion
D500P is truly versatile. Connect up to four Fusion D500P enclosures to a Tempo SATA E4P or Tempo SATA X4P host controller to create the ultimate storage solution—using today's highest capacity drives, you'll have
20TB of data storage at your disposal!
