Addonics AD4ES6GPX4 peripheral controller

4-Port eSATA 6G PCIe 4X controller This 6G 4-port eSATA controller is a high performance host adapter that provides a total throughput up to 20 Gbps (20,000 Mbps) via single PCIe 4-lane slot. The controller supports any SATA hard drive, SSDs or optical drive. All drives appears as individual drive and they can be configured to form a RAID group using the RAID utility of the OS.
