Based on Sil3726 chipset, the compact Rosewill RSV-S8 storage enclosure increases the amount of your storage by connecting up to eight 3.5" SATA HDDs while RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 5+spare, spanning and JBOD support ensures performance and data security. The chassis utilizes a slide tray design to make drive swaps faster. A full 250W power supply provides ample power even under heavy load. There is also plenty of power to run the chassis exhaust fans and the drive cage fans. The well ventilated chassis helps to keep the drives cool and running on peak levels.
Easy-Swap DesignThe easy-slide HDD tray design in combination with the cable-less backplane connectivity enables effortless installation of SATA I or SATA II hard drives. Assembly and disassembly of drives is a cinch.
RAID SupportThe Rosewill RSV-S8 supports multiple RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 5+spare, spanning and JBOD (using bundled utilities, max. 5 drives per volumes) to ensure data integrity.
eSATA InterfaceThe Rosewill RSV-S8 features two eSATA ports (via Port Multiplier) for ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 3Gbps and plug-and-play connectivity to the host computer.
HBA Card IncludedThe included Sil3132R5 PCIe x2 slot adapter card features two eSATA ports with Port Multiplier function for easy connection to the external RAID enclosure.
