Tempo SATA X4P Serial ATA Host Adapter for PCI-X - TSATAII-X4P
When it comes to data storage capabilities, which do you prefer, raw storage capacity or scorching performance? With the Tempo SATA X4P, you get the best of both worlds! This card offers unprecedented scalability through its support of port multipliers. Used with high-performance drive enclosures like Sonnet’s Fusion 500P, port multipliers manage the data flow of up to five drives in one enclosure through a single cable. Using today’s highest-capacity drives, you can connect an astounding 15 Terabytes (15,000 Gigabytes!) of storage!
Tempo SATA X4P delivers performance previously unattainable with mainstream technologies. The PCI-X interface offers huge bandwidth for data throughput, so the card never slows you down. For the utmost performance, you can create multiple RAID arrays to capture and process uncompressed high definition
video, or conquer other high-bandwidth applications. For fantastic flexibility, you can work with 20 drives individually and hot-swap them out as needed. You can even work with a combination of RAID sets and individual drives - your choices aren’t limited. When your storage needs have outgrown standard solutions, get a Tempo SATA X4P - it’ll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.

ATAPI Support: No
Drive Types Supported: Serial ATA I & II
Advanced Features:
Port Multiplier aware
FIS-based switching controller
True plug and play, no device drivers to install (Mac OS driver is built-in, Windows drivers are available on the Sonnet website)
Spread Spectrum Clocking for compatibility with all SATA drives and lower EMI emissions
Bus Mastering frees CPU from data I/O handling

Note: Support for 20 drives requires the use of drive enclosures employing port multipliers (like Sonnet’s Fusion 500P). When using an enclosure without a port multiplier (such as Sonnet’s Fusion 400), Tempo SATA X4P will support up to 4 drives.
Note: Support for port multipliers under Windows currently limited to Silicon Image 3726 chip-based products such as Sonnet’s Fusion 500P enclosure. Silicon Image 4726 chip-based port multipliers are not supported at this time; check link
