The Tempo SATA E4P SATA Host Adapter for PCI Express from Sonnet allows you to easily add Serial ATA capability to your Macintosh or Windows computer. The card gives you 4 eSATA connections and supports SATA II speeds of up to 3 Gbps. The controller even allows you to create a striped RAID 0 from your SATA drives, which translates into better performance and increased data transfer speeds. This is an excellent solution for adding SATA capability to your computer.
Key Features
SATA Connections
The controller card allows you to connect up to 4 SATA drives to your computer, greatly expanding your potential storage capacity. SATA offers excellent performance, often superior to older PATA drives.
Port Multiplier Support
The controller card can work in conjunction with enclosures that support port multiplication to connect multiple SATA drives to one port. This increases the capacity from 4 eSATA devices to 20, giving you the ability to connect much larger amounts of storage when working with devices that support port multipliers.
Plug and Play Installation
Simply install the card into an open PCI slot on your Mac and you are ready to go; there are no drivers to install. Windows users will also find the card easy to install, but they will have to install a driver that is available from Sonnet.
