The StarTech 2 Port PCI Express SATA Controller and Syba 4 Bay HDD Enclosure combo is designed for users needing to expand their storage capacity significantly. It allows for the installation of up to four 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, each with a capacity of up to 18TB. This setup is ideal for data storage, media servers, or backup solutions that require high-capacity drives.
The controller card uses the ASM1061 chipset, which supports both internal and external SATA connections. It provides two ports that can be configured as internal, external, or a mix, offering flexibility in how the drives are accessed. The enclosure connects via dual eSATA and USB 3.0 interfaces, allowing for fast data transfer speeds of up to 6Gbps and 5Gbps respectively.
The enclosure features a forced convection process to improve cooling, which helps maintain optimal drive performance and longevity. It is compatible with PCIe x1, x4, x8, or x16 slots and includes both full and low profile brackets for easy installation in various computer cases. The setup includes all necessary components for immediate use.
The enclosure supports SATA I/II/III drives and is designed for non-RAID configurations. It is important to note that the motherboard's SATA port must support Port Multiplier for the system to recognize multiple drives when connected via eSATA. The controller card also supports Port Multiplier, allowing multiple drives to be connected over a single cable.
