> CardBus eSATA RAID5/JBOD Adapter
The Addonics CardBus eSATA RAID5/JBOD Adapter brings the high performance SATA technology, RAID 5 and TeraByte storage capability to your Notebook via one CardBus slot. Comes built-in with 2 eSATA ports and RAID5/JBOD firmware, you can attach up to 2 external SATA hard drives and configure them as RAID 0, RAID 1 or as one large hard drive. By stripping multiple hard drives, you can achieve data transfer performance far exceeds any Notebook hard drive performance.
You can also attach to each eSATA port as many as 5 hard drives in an external drive enclosures that has built-in Port Multiplier such as the Addonics Storage Tower. The 5 hard drives can be configured as RAID 1, 0, 10 or 5. Using the JBOD configuration, you can combine the 5 hard drives into one large 2 TeraByte external storage system for your Notebook.
Together with Addonics' family of eSATA cabling system, Notebook users can enjoy the fastest performance with any external storage devices, as much as 3 times the data transfer rate of the USB 2.0. The CardBus eSATA RAID5/JBOD Adapter incorporated the new eSATA connector providing secured cable connection, improved durability, increased EMI protection, and up to 2 meters cable length for external SATA connection. (For more detail on this new SATA external connector, please review the following white paper posted on SATA-IO.org)

Since the eSATA connector on this
adapter is new to the market, connecting cable with this new connector
may not be readily available. Addonics offers a complete cabling solution
for External SATA applications. All Addonics external SATA cables are
constructed with metal clips on the connectors for reliable repetitive
insertion and tighter connection needed for external application. These
cables are also heavily shield and wired to increase EMI protection and
ensure SATA signal integrity in external application over a 2 meter distance.
Option 1: External SATA (eSATA) - SATA converter cable (model
AASA2SAP15C, 15 cm.) plus External SATA data cable (model AASAEDC3F, 100
cm.)
The 15 cm. cable (AASA2SAP15C) converts the new eSATA
connector back to standard SATA External connector plug. Together
with the standard 100 cm. External SATA cable (AASAEDC3F), SATA storage
device can then be connected to this controller. This combination
gives the flexibility of connecting any external SATA device , to
this eSATA controller or *PVR/Set Top Box to the standard SATA
ports that are commonly found in most of today's SATA equipped systems.
Option 2: eSATA - SATA cable (AASA2SA100C, 100 cm.)
One end of this cable has the new eSATA connector
for connecting to this eSATA controller, *PVR or Set
Top Box. The opposite end has the the current standard SATA connector
for connecting to SATA hard drive or other Addonics external SATA
storage devices.
*At the present time, some PVRs (a few models from
TiVo) and Set Top Boxes are equipped with this new eSATA connector.Optional cables
