TEMPO
E342P Express34
SATA Host Card for the MacPro!
2 external eSATA ports
New - Port Multiplier capable!
Supports up to 10 External Hard Drives
For Mac OSX and Windows XP
Extending
Sonnet's line
of Port
Multiplication
capable host cards is this new Express34 card that is made for the MacBook
as well as working in PC laptops running Windows. Able to mount
up to 2 drives directly or up to 10 drives when attached
to enclosures with Port
Multipliers like the Burly
Port Multiplier Enclosures available here in 4, 5 and 8 Bay versions as
well as Rack Mount.
Capable of mounting the drives each independently or in any combination
of software RAID and JBOD. You can even create huge and incredibly fast arrays
across multiple port multiplier systems for never before seen speeds and
certainly never before seen capacities on a direct connected
host card. Very versatile with great performance combined with the cost
benefit of being able to attach less expensive smaller capacity drives in
greater numbers for a huge per GB savings. The throughput from drives attached
to these
cards is exceptional giving full 300 MB/sec access
to each of the two SATAII specification eSATA ports.
Compatible with
-MacBook with open Express34 slot - 15 or 17 inch
OSX Compatible
-Windows PCs with ExpressCard 34 or ExpressCard 54
slot
Compatible with Windows
This
host card has eSATA
Ports:
eSATA, an external connection method for the
SATA specification, is used on this card. More robust and better grounded,
these connectors are the choice for external connected storage. Be aware
though, confusion is also going to be common as the eSATA connectors
are VERY similar in appearance to the internal SATA Type A connectors.
Use of an eSATA to eSATA external cable is
currently needed to connect to the MacGurus Burly Enclosure. Be sure
to select eSATA cables when ordering a companion Burly to go with your Tempo
E4P host
card.
