5 Port SATA II Port Multiplier RAID 0 / 1 / 3 / 5 / 1+0 Card
The Syba SY-PCI40037 5 Port SATA II Port Multiplier RAID Card is designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA II host port and 5 SATA device ports. It expands one upstream SATA II port to 5 downstream SATA II ports. With its hot-plug and hot-swap features, it is an ideal upgrade solution to support SATA and SATA II devices for the rapidly changing data. OS Support: Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista,Win7, Win8, Win 8.1, Linux kernel 2.6 and above.
- With an easy configuration scheme, the device can be a pure port multiplier in a RAID configuration which provides SATA port expansion just like a SATA Hub, or hard-drive performance booster which provides a high performance device seen by host controller or hard-drive data protector which automatically backup data to prevent data loss from hard-drive damage. JMB393 also has advance mode to provide both benefit of performance boost and data protection.
- JMB393 is a self-contained storage processor chip which completely frees up the main CPU loading.
- External Dip Switch for Easy RAID Configiration
