Affordable 6Gb/s SATA Solution Why an eSATA Card?
Are you planning to connect external storage to your computer? There's a good chance the enclosure will have two or more interfaces from which to choose, including FireWire®, USB, and eSATA. Your computer has USB ports, and may have FireWire ports, too. So if you can just plug into your computer's existing ports, why consider an eSATA card? Consider the fact that the eSATA interface offers superior performance to that of FireWire 800 and USB 3.0 interfaces. Sonnet's Tempo™ SATA 6Gb/s PCIe 2.0 card is an affordable solution for adding eSATA ports to your computer so you can take advantage of this fast interface.
 External storage systems with an eSATA interface offer great flexibility. Single drive enclosures are great for solid state drives (SSDs) or hard drives. Many enclosures include swappable drive trays, which are perfect for managing daily backups and multiple projects. Some enclosures, like Sonnet's Fusion™ D400QR5 and Fusion F3, feature hardware RAID controllers that enable up to four drives to communicate as one volume on the host adapter through one cable.
