Product ID: PEXESATA2
This 2 Port PCI Express eSATA Controller Adapter Card offers simple connectivity between a host
computer and eSATA devices. Providing two eSATA ports the adapter card offers a cost-effective solution

and performance for external SATA storage needs.
The PCI Express eSATA controller card also features port multiplier capability with command-based
switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host Windows® system through a single
external SATA connection.
A dual profile solution, the eSATA controller card includes a low profile/half-height bracket for adapting to
slimline or small form factor system applications.
