Do you need more speed? Tempo-X eSATA 4+4 gives you performance to burn!
You’ll get great performance from individual drives, but grouping up to eight Serial ATA hard drives in a RAID 0 (striped) array reveals the true prowess of this product—exceptional speed.
Astonishing sustained read/write performance numbers in excess of 545 MB/s are possible—that’s more than enough to capture and process uncompressed 10-bit High Definition video!
Have your storage needs outgrown your computer’s capabilities? With eight ports and a dedicated controller for each, you can connect additional drives for maximum storage capacity—using today’s highest-capacity drives, you can connect an amazing 4 TB (Terabytes) of storage!
And for workflow professionals, you can hot-swap drives to quickly zoom between projects.
When your storage needs have outgrown standard solutions, get the Tempo-X eSATA 4+4—it’ll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.
