Sonnet Sonnett Tempo SATA E2P Controller - 2 x 7-pin eSATA 300Mbit/s networking card

Sonnett TSATAII-E2P Tempo SATA E2P Controller - 2 x 7-pin eSATA External SATA. Tempo SATA E2P features two external 300 MB/s SATA (eSATA) ports and supports SATA drive enclosures with port multipliers (like Sonnet’s Fusion 500P), which enable the use of up to 10 disk drives. Perfect for connecting mass storage, this card offers an affordable way to add external SATA connections. Tempo SATA E2P may be installed in any PCI Express slot, and is RoHS compliant.

SATA drive enclosures offer flexibility not found in fixed drive installations inside a computer. Many offer swappable drive trays, which are perfect for managing daily backups and multiple projects, and most are portable. Some enclosures, like Sonnet's Fusion D500P and Fusion R400Q, feature port multipliers, which enable up to five hard drives to communicate with the host adapter through one cable. Not all host adapter cards support port multipliers, but Tempo SATA E2P does—through its two ports, this card can handle up to ten drives
