Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P, PCI Express (PCIe) eSATA SATA II Host Controller


	This PCI Express eSATA card offers unprecedented scalability through its support of port multipliers—it can handle up to twenty drives*! Used with high-performance drive enclosures like Sonnet's Fusion 500P, port multipliers manage the data flow of up to five drives in one enclosure through a single cable. Using today's highest-capacity drives, you can connect an astounding 10 Terabytes (10,000 Gigabytes!) of storage! The Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P delivers performance previously unattainable with mainstream technologies. The PCI Express interface offers huge bandwidth for data throughput, so the card never slows you down. For the utmost performance, you can create multiple eSATA RAID arrays to capture and process uncompressed high definition video, or conquer other high-bandwidth applications. For fantastic flexibility, you can work with 20 drives individually and hot-swap them out as needed. You can even work with a combination of RAID arrays and individual drives—your choices aren't limited. When your storage needs have outgrown standard solutions, get a Tempo SATA E4P—it'll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.
