Incorporating the latest SATA Multilane connector, this Addonics family of controllers not only provides the fast SATA performance but also support connecting 4 SATA ports externally via a single Infiniband cable. Choice of PCI-X with RAID5/JBOD or PCI with RAID, an external Disk Array storage system such as the Addonics Storage Tower can now be connected to a system with a reliable and clean cable management system.
