Introduction
T5_R5-ESUF is One to Five SATA Port Multiplier hardware
RAID Controller with LCD Module. It is designed to provide
USB2.0/FireWire400/800 and eSATA ports expansion, data
protection and performance aggregation at variou s
applications.
T5_R5-ESUF uses market-proven Multi-port Serial ATA PHY
technology and proprietary storage processor to provide very
high efficient SATA RAID operation. With an easy
configuration scheme, the devi ce can be a pure port mu ltip li e r
which provides SATA port expansion just like a SATA Hub, or
hard-drive performance booster which provides a high
performance device seen by host controller or hard-drive data
protector which automatically backup data to prevent data loss
from hard-drive damage . T5_R5-ESUF also has advance
mode to provide both benefit of performance boost and data
protection.
T5_R5-ESUF is a self-contained storage processor chip which
completely frees up the host system CPU loading and the host
USB2.0/FireWire400/800/eSATA ports making it suitable for
use in different OS and host port as flexible external storage
applications.
Featuring tray-less, make T5_R5-eSUF the most flexible
external
JBOD/RAID system in the market.
Switch from a RAID5 to JBOD or any other configure in matter
of seconds, due to hot swap capability, and tray less
Example: There are TWO set of preconfigured HDD:
Set A: 5x HDD configured as RAID5
Set B: 3x HDD as RAID5 and 2x HDD as JBOD
These TWO sets can be hot remo ve and switch at anytime.
