eSATA II PCI Express Card

3Gb/s – 4Ports
Add Four External eSATA II
Ports to Your Computer
High Performance Options
By including four eSATA 3Gb/s ports, this card can be used to
combine up to four hard disks together with your computer to create
a versatile and powerful RAID solution. For example, using the LaCie
4big Quadra, you can set up each hard disk in a hardware RAID
5 mode, then combine them together into a software RAID 0 mode
(with the help of the host computer)*, making this configuration
comparable to a RAID 50 array. This allows for enhanced disk
failure protection, a greater speed of up to 700MB/s, and up to
24TB capacity (with four 8TB LaCie 4big Quadra each).
Efficient Design
Many four-port eSATA cards are at risk of overheating, but the
revolutionary active heat sink design helps the LaCie eSATA II PCI
Express Card 3Gb/s — 4Ports stay cool and keep performing. A
built-in blast fan also helps to prevent overheating, making the
card safe and reliable.

peripherals. The LaCie eSATA II PCI Express Card 3Gb/s – 4Ports
features four external eSATA connectors, and can run at speeds of
up to 3Gbs/s, making it the best interface choice for professionals
who demand high speeds. Plug as many as four external hard
disks (for example, the LaCie 4big Quadra) and easily configure

®
OS X and Windows®.
Data Protection
By using Disk Utility, Mac OS X users will be able to create a
RAID 1 array of one or two pairs of hard disk, creating an ideal
configuration for security. For example, users can create two RAID
1 arrays of four LaCie 4big Quadra configured in RAID 5, which
it turn will produce a system able to withstand one drive failure
(RAID 5) and even one tower failure!
