HPMBundle2 | Techbuy Hardware Port Multiplier Bundle

5-Port HPM-XA System Version

 

Product Features

• Choice of system model and enclosure model
  • system model - Connect up to 5 SATA hard drives to one SATA port inside any system
  • enclosure model - connect up to 5 SATA hard drives or optical drives in external enclosure to any system via any eSATA port (or USB 3.0 / 2.0 port using optional USB 3.0 - eSATAp adapter)
• RAID configuration is programmed using onboard jumpers for simple deployment. View detailed jumper configuration diagram
• Integrated hardware RAID controller to maximize performance
• Software included for RAID management and advanced RAID configuration
• Compatible with Compact Flash or Micro Drive using Addonics SATA CF adapters (ADSAHDCF or ADSACF)
• Compatible with SATA optical drives - support simultaneous DVD writing*
• RAID volume can be used as a boot drive or as additional storage
• Multiple units can be daisy chained
• System version mounts in any standard height or low profile PCI slot
• Enclosure version designed to fit Addonics Storage Tower, Mini Storage Tower, Storage Rack or multi-bay drive enclosure with SCSI-1 (Centronic 50-pin) back panel
• Supports RAID0 (Striping), RAID1 (Mirroring), RAID3, RAID5 (Parity), RAID10 (Mirrored Striped), JBOD (Concatenation), Clone Mode (N-Way Mirror) using built-in hardware RAID.
• Supports individual drive mode*
• Clone mode - clone's action is similar to RAID 1, except all the hard drives connected will be mirrored. Clone mode is especially useful when users would like to copy data form a hard drive to several hard drives at the same time.
• Supports hot swap when attached to controllers that support this feature.
• Drive activity LED and Error LED for Host and 5 SATA devices
• OS Support: Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Mac OS X and above, Linux kernel 2.6 and above

* Independent drive configuration and optical drive are supported only when connecting to controllers with Silicon Image Sil3124, Sil3132 chip set or controllers that are PM compatible. Simultaneous DVD writing was tested using the Nero Burning Rom

This new family of PCI Express controllers offer the latest 3G/sec SATA performance and configuration flexibility at an amazingly affordable price. Comes with choice of 2 internal SATA II ports or 2 eSATA II ports for external SATA connection. both controllers can also be installed in low profile PCs using the bundled low profile bracket. The two ports can be configured as individual ports, as RAID 1, 0, 0+1, RAID 5 or JBOD. Both controllers are also Port Multiplier compatible, thus offering potential expansion capability and new storage solutions
