5 Bay eSATA RAID HDD Storage Array Enclosure with PCI-X Card

5 Bay eSATA RAID Hard Drive Storage Array with PCI-X/PCI Support

External SATA (eSATA) Storage Array RAID Subsystem with built-in Port Multiplier and eSATA host interface, supports both 1.5 Gb/s and 3Gb/s Serial ATA transfer rates. Connected to a eSATA PCI(-X) card, this subsystem gives you more than 10 times the data transfer speed of an average Network-attached storage (NAS) and massive hard drive space capability. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 0+1, JBOD functions, providing a protected, easy to manage, cost effective storage solution.

• RAID Levels 0, 1, 0+1, and 5 supported; automated self-repair with auto-rebuild and hot spare functions
• Sustained data transfer up to 230 Mbytes/sec. (when using multiple SATA drives in RAID 0)
• Over 10 times faster than average NAS systems (assuming 20MB/sec NAS transfer)
• Suitable for editing high definition video
• Includes an eSATA controller card, usable on PCI and PCI-X slots.
• Supports five SATA/SATA II hard drives (not included); combined capacity of up to 3.75+ TB
• Hot-swappable drive trays to enable adding hard drive and capacity as needed; host adapter has multiple ports and can connect to multiple external storage arrays
