Add Four External eSATA II Ports to Your Computer
High Performance Options
Get Connected Faster
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).
Add the new LaCie eSATA II PCI Express Card 3Gb/s – 4Ports for instant connectivity and amazing performance with your eSATA 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 them with Mac® OS X and Windows®.
Efficient Design
Data Protection
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.
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!
