Sonnet Tempo SATA X4P, PCI-X eSATA SATA II Host Controller

 
Which do you prefer, raw storage capacity or scorching performance?  With the Sonnet Tempo SATA X4P PCI-X eSATA card, you get the best of both worlds!  This 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!

Tempo SATA X4P delivers performance previously unattainable with mainstream technologies.  The PCI-X  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 X4P—it'll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.
  

Features:
  • PCI-X host bus interface for high-performance applications
  • 4 eSATA 3 Gb/s SATA II ports
  • FIS-based Port Multiplier-aware to support up to 20 disk drives*
  • Backwards compatible with 1.5Gb/s (SATA I) drives
  • Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) support for compatibility with all SATA drives
  • RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, & JBOD
  • Supports Mac OS X and Windows XP RAID 
  • Hot-swap drive support 

*Support for 20 drives requires the use of drive enclosures employing port multipliers (like the 5-Bay eSATA Port Multiplier Enclosure or Sonnet's Fusion 500P). When using an enclosure without a port multiplier (such as Sonnet Fusion 400), the Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P will support up to 4 drives.
