There is also choice of model with integrated Hardware Port multiplier that allows the drives to be set up as a high performance RAID group with redundancy for reliability.
Constructed in a light weight sturdy aluminum housing with an integrated cooling fan for efficient heat dissipation, the Sapphire Disk Array is a great portable storage solution for a wide range of applications that demand high performance and large amount of storage out in the field.
About this model
This Sapphire Disk Array comes equipped with a rack-mount 6G Port Multiplier that connects all 4 drives to any computer via a single eSATA connection. Once connected, the four drives appear as individual drive to the system. The four drives can also be set as a large volume and high performance RAID group via the RAID software of the OS or host controller. Drives can be added or removed via the four removable drive trays. It is an easy way to add four 2.5" hard drives or high performance SSD to any system externally.
