This card is the perfect solution for users who are using video capture devices such as DV, VCR, AJA Io, LA, LD, etc that require the full bandwidth of FireWire and high speed access to external hard drives. Connect your capture devices to your FireWire port and your external storage to the CalDigit FASTA-1ex...this is the perfect solution for any notebook which has an ExpressCard/34 or 54 slot.

  • Port Multiplier aware - to support up to 5 disk drives*
  • Plug and Play
  • Backward compatible with SATA I drives
  • Manufacturers 3-year warranty

Used with high-performance drive enclosures like this 5-Bay SATA Port Multiplier Enclosure, this card can manage the data flow of up to five drives in one enclosure through a single cable!  With the above enclosure using 5 SATA hard drives in a RAID 0 array, the card can typically achieve sustained disk writes of 130 MB/sec and reads of 140 MB/sec!

Supports Serial ATA II Port Multiplier 1.0 Specifications revision 1.1 and used with SATA Port Multiplier Enclosures containing multiple SATA hard drives, supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10!

*Support for 10 drives requires the use of drive enclosures employing port multipliers (like Sonnet's Fusion 500P Port Multiplier Enclosure or this SATA Port Multiplier Enclosure, 5-Bay with LCDs). When using an enclosure without a port multiplier, the card will support 1 drive.
