Sans Digital 5-Bay eSATA RAID 0/1/10/5/JBOD Tower Storage Enclosure w/ 6G PCIe Card TR5M+B (Black)

The TowerRAID TR5M+B is a compact RAID tower utilizing the latest SATA II port multiplier feature, where one single eSATA cable connects to five 3Gpps SATA II hard drives. Bundled with a high performance RAID controller card RR622, its RAID 5 performance is capable of reaching over 200MBps. Online expansion is a feature included in the controller card so that RAID configurations can expand without the need to recreate the storage space or erase the existing data.

Advanced monitoring functions include real time hard drive health status and e-mail notification for critical events. Designed with easy installation in mind, the TR5M+B has five hot-swappable tray modules so that hard drives can be removed and installed with ease. The included dual-port eSATA 6GBps PCIe 2.0 x1 RAID controller card allows the connection of up to two TR5M+B units (up to 10 hard drives) using only two cables and all drives can be configured into a single or multiple RAID arrays, providing over 200MBps in performance.
