Silicon Image SiI-3726 Port
Multiplier chipset - Connect up to 5 external SATA drives to a single SATA port
Perfect for attaching large number of external hard drives to a computer!
Connect up to 5 external eSATA hard drives via one eSATA port. Provides a high
performance connection between a SATA II port on the computer and five SATA
device ports. Takes full advantage of SATA II 3 Gbps bandwidth and FIS-based
switching host controllers. Supports all the SATA Port Multiplier related SATA
II extensions.
The 5 external hard drives can be configured as RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or combined
as 1 large volume or to appear as 5 individual drives to the system. When used
in conjunction with a 4-port eSATA controller, a whooping 20 hard drives can be
attached to a computer (using 4 of the hubs).
Hot swap capability allows external hard drives to be conveniently connected or removed from the computer on the fly while the system continues operating.
