5X1 eSATA port multiplier
Although disk array prices are dropping as hard drive costs plummet, buying turnkey gear can still be pricey.
Addonics offers one solution for the hands-on type. Its 5X1 eSATA Port Multiplier allows you to combine up to five SATA hard drives into one eSATA connection. The five hard drives can be configured as RAID 5, RAID 0, RAID 1, no RAID, or JBOD when the port multiplier is connected to Addonics RAID 5 host controllers. When the device is combined with Addonics' four-port RAID 5 eSATA controller, users can externally attach up to 20 SATA hard drives to their computer with just one controller, says the company. www.addonics.com
