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 SATA II port multiplier (Silicon Image SiI 3726) 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, so installation is as simple as securing the drives to the trays.
