Features:
	Do you need more speed? Tempo SATA E4i offers 3Gb/s per port data transfer support and gives you performance to burn! You'll get great performance from individual drives, but grouping up to four Serial ATA hard drives in a RAID 0 (striped) set will provide astonishing sustained read/write performance numbers enough to capture and process High Definition video! Want more security? Set up your drives in a RAID 0 (mirrored) or RAID 10 (striped/mirrored) set for up to 2 Terabytes of data redundancy.

(1) Western Digital manufactures Desktop edition (WD Caviar, Caviar SE, Caviar SE16, and Raptor X) hard drives and Enterprise (RAID) Edition (WD RE, RE2, and Raptor) hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically in either a desktop computer environment, or connected to a RAID controller (hardware or software-based). If you intend to configure Western Digital drives in a RAID set, Sonnet and WD recommend using only their Enterprise edition hard drives. For more information, see this Western Digital FAQ .

(2) SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003 or Vista. A SATA drive appears to the system as a not-removable hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal.

(3) Parallel disk drives are supported when using Sonnet's Tempo Bridge or similar Serial ATA-to-Parallel ATA adapter.
