Card
Product ID: PEXESAT32
The PEXESAT32 2 Port PCI Express 6Gbps eSATA Controller Card offers simple connectivity between a
host computer and eSATA 3.0 devices - a cost-effective solution for connecting high-speed storage, such
as High RPM Hard Drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), which in turn allows for easier data backups and
archiving.
With full support for SATA 3.0 hard drives and data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, the adapter card
features a native PCI Express single chipset that provides enhanced compatibility, reliability and
performance for external SATA 600 MB/s storage needs.
The controller card is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 devices, providing the versatility to use older
storage, and features support for RAID 0 and 1 modes as well as port multiplier capability with command-
based and FIS-based switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host PC through a single
external SATA connection.
A dual profile solution, the eSATA controller card includes a low profile/half-height bracket for installation
in slimline or small form factor computer cases.
