The Addonics 5X1 eSATA Port Multiplier (PM) and eSATA Port Multiplier for Rackmount Systems enables SATA
hard drives to be configured for a wide range of storage applications.
Build to fit perfectly into the Addonics Storage
Tower and many standard 2 bay or larger SCSI enclosures, these Port
Multipliers can combine up to 5 SATA hard drives into one eSATA connection.
The 5 drives can be set up as individual drives, as RAID set or with JBOD
to become one large hard drive depending on the controller. When multiple
PMs are combined with Addonics 4-Port eSATA controller*,
you can attach externally a whopping 20 SATA hard drives to your computer
via 1 controller!
* Port Multiplier does not work with
SATA controller that has no PM support. Check with your system supplier
to confirm the PM support on your existing SATA port. Port Multiplier may require a utility to configure the drives to be seen inside the operating system.

4/21"The Addonics 5X1 eSATA port multiplier is an awesome option for adding port multiplier capability to a Storage Tower and many of the standard two bay or larger SCSI enclosures available on the market. A port multiplier is great for mounting a large number of disks at the same time."
