Sonnet Tempo 4+4 8 Port (64-bit) 133MHz PCI-X Serial ATA Host Controller
Description
Do you need more speed? Tempo-X SATA 4+4 gives you performance to burn! You’ll get great performance from individual drives, but grouping up to eight Serial ATA hard drives in a RAID 0 (striped) array using Mac OS X Disk Utility reveals the true prowess of this product—exceptional speed. Astonishing sustained read/write performance numbers in excess of 545 MB/s are possible—that’s more than enough to capture and process uncompressed 10-bit High Definition video!
Have your storage needs outgrown your computer’s capabilities? With eight ports and a dedicated controller for each, you can connect additional drives for maximum storage capacity—using today’s highest-capacity drives, you can connect an amazing 3.2 TB (Terabytes) of storage! When your storage needs have outgrown standard solutions, get a Tempo-X SATA 4+4—it’ll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.
Sonnet's Simply Fast design philosophy makes this installation a snap; you'll complete the process in a few easy steps. With no software to install, just insert the Tempo-X SATA 4+4 into an available PCI-X or PCI slot, connect and format your drives, and get to work!
Tempo-X SATA 4+4 gives you blazing performance for the most demanding applications!
Tempo-X SATA 4+4 supports large drives (drives w/capacity greater than 137GB); it shatters the 120GB limit found in many Macs.
